Let me understand what you're saying...
The commit 3087c61ed2c4 did
-/* Task command name length: */ -#define TASK_COMM_LEN 16 +/* + * Define the task command name length as enum, then it can be visible to + * BPF programs. + */ +enum { + TASK_COMM_LEN = 16, +};
and that caused:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
to print field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0; instead of field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
so the ftrace parsing android tracing tool had to do:
- if (Match(type_and_name.c_str(), R"(char [a-zA-Z_]+\[[0-9]+\])")) { + if (Match(type_and_name.c_str(), + R"(char [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*\[[a-zA-Z_0-9]+\])")) {
to workaround this change. Right?
And what are you proposing?
