I also do not like the the inconsistency between
sizeof(__entry->__rel_loc_##field) and sizeof(u32) that is used in the
calculation part:


#define __rel_dynamic_array(type, item, len) \
__item_length = (len) * sizeof(type); \
__data_offsets->item = __data_size + \
offsetof(typeof(*entry), __data) - \
offsetof(typeof(*entry), __rel_loc_##item) - \
sizeof(u32); \
__data_offsets->item |= __item_length << 16; \
__data_size += __item_length;

Why is one using sizeof(u32) and the other using the size of the field?

Just to let you know what is happening. As dynamic elements of the trace
event needs to be appended at the end of the event, the above macros are
defined and then run through the TRACE_EVENT() macro, where the
TP_STRUCT__entry() is parsed to calculate where each item will be for that
event.

static inline notrace int trace_event_get_offsets_##call( \
struct trace_event_data_offsets_##call *__data_offsets, proto) \
{ \
int __data_size = 0; \
int __maybe_unused __item_length; \
struct trace_event_raw_##call __maybe_unused *entry; \
\
tstruct; \
\
return __data_size; \
}


The tstruct is the TP_STRUCT__entry() and for each __rel_dynamic_array() or
__dynamic_array(), the __data_size gets updated and saved into the
__data_offsets that holds where each item is.

The rel versions sets the offset from its location to the data, where as
the non rel versions sets the offset from the beginning of the event to the
data.
