the userspace interface for tracing because of the weird
KVM_MMU_PAGE_PRINTK macro.


Can you explain what is wrong with it?
It's a big C expression that trace-cmd can't parse :)

Um, C can be easily parsed with a C compiler. I don't think you can expect it to be a plain format string and argument list.

Is userspace reading mmutrace.h? When the structure attributes can be
exported via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing?
Yes ... look
at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvmmmu/kvm_mmu_unsync_page/format
for instance.

You can fall back to using the attributes to build your own format string.
