tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic events

Browse Source 
Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as:

  # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event.

It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing
trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to
synthetic events via the trace() action.

With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined:

  # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either
dynamic or static strings:

  # echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events

The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as
the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file.

[ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes:

  I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings
  must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be
  parsed correctly. ]

See synth_field_size() for available types.
If field_name contains [n], the field is considered to be a static array.
If field_names contains[] (no subscript), the field is considered to
be a dynamic array, which will only take as much space in the event as
is required to hold the array.
Because space for an event is reserved before assigning field values
to the event, using dynamic arrays implies that the piecewise
in-kernel API described below can't be used with dynamic arrays. The
other non-piecewise in-kernel APIs can, however, be used with dynamic
arrays.
If the event is created from within a module, a pointer to the module
must be passed to synth_event_create(). This will ensure that the

If field_name contains [n], the field is considered to be a static array.
If field_names contains[] (no subscript), the field is considered to
be a dynamic array, which will only take as much space in the event as
is required to hold the array.
A string field can be specified using either the static notation:
char name[32];
Or the dynamic:
char name[];
The size limit for either is 256.
For instance, the following creates a new event named 'wakeup_latency'
with 3 fields: lat, pid, and prio. Each of those fields is simply a
variable reference to a variable on another event::
