The TP_printk() of a TRACE_EVENT() is a generic printf format that any
developer can create for their event. It may include pointers to strings
and such. A boot mapped buffer may contain data from a previous kernel
where the strings addresses are different.
One solution is to copy the event content and update the pointers by the
recorded delta, but a simpler solution (for now) is to just use the
print_fields() function to print these events. The print_fields() function
just iterates the fields and prints them according to what type they are,
and ignores the TP_printk() format from the event itself.
To understand the difference, when printing via TP_printk() the output
looks like this:
4582.696626: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=getname_flags+0x47/0x1f0 ptr=00000000e70e10e0 bytes_req=4096 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL node=-1 accounted=false
4582.696629: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=alloc_empty_file+0x6b/0x110 ptr=0000000095808002 bytes_req=360 bytes_alloc=384 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL node=-1 accounted=false
4582.696630: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=security_file_alloc+0x24/0x100 ptr=00000000576339c3 bytes_req=16 bytes_alloc=16 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false
4582.696653: kmem_cache_free: call_site=do_sys_openat2+0xa7/0xd0 ptr=00000000e70e10e0 name=names_cache
But when printing via print_fields() (echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/options/fields)
the same event output looks like this:
4582.696626: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=0xffffffff92d10d97 (-1831793257) ptr=0xffff9e0e8571e000 (-107689771147264) bytes_req=0x1000 (4096) bytes_alloc=0x1000 (4096) gfp_flags=0xcc0 (3264) node=0xffffffff (-1) accounted=(0)
