mainlining shenanigans
Since synthetic event array types are derived from the field name,
there may be a semicolon at the end of the type which should be
stripped off.
If there are more characters following that, normal type string
checking will result in an invalid type.
Without this patch, you can end up with an invalid field type string
that gets displayed in both the synthetic event description and the
event format:
Before:
# echo 'myevent char str[16]; int v' >> synthetic_events
# cat synthetic_events
myevent char[16]; str; int v
name: myevent
ID: 1936
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:char str[16];; offset:8; size:16; signed:1;
field:int v; offset:40; size:4; signed:1;
print fmt: "str=%s, v=%d", REC->str, REC->v
After:
# echo 'myevent char str[16]; int v' >> synthetic_events
# cat synthetic_events
myevent char[16] str; int v
# cat events/synthetic/myevent/format
name: myevent
ID: 1936
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:char str[16]; offset:8; size:16; signed:1;
field:int v; offset:40; size:4; signed:1;
print fmt: "str=%s, v=%d", REC->str, REC->v

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
