Subject[PATCH 0/2] Add decoder for GFP masks to tools.
Date
I needed to decode some gfp_masks to debug an oom-killer invocation, and wrote
this tool to avoid doing the decoding manually.

Bad things about this: slightly hacky use of code intended for use with ftrace,
splitting linux/gfp.h into 2 parts.

Good things: No additional places need modification to keep the decoder up to
date, no mistakes from manual gfp_mask decoding.

On the topic of writing Makefiles for tools/*, it would be extremely
convienient if a system was setup which allowed simple specification of final
executable(s) and the objects to compose them rather than having each tool
write a custom Makefile.

For example (potentially):

TARGETS = gfp-decode
obj-gfp-decode = gfp-decode.o
include ../scripts/Makefile.magic
