Can we add BUILD_BUG_ON() somewhere to capture at least some
synchronization issue?

Hi Huang, we discussed this in the v1 thread with you and John, seems you
missed it. Now we just add a comment to do the synchronization, and we can
figure out a more general way to use strings which in trace_events straight.

Got it!  And I think we can add the BUILD_BUG_ON() now and delete it
when we have a better solution to deal with that.  But if you can work
out a better solution quickly, that's fine to ignore this.


I have a solution now, it's basically what I sent earlier. There appears to be
some confusion about it. I'll send it out as a patch that builds on top of
these two, hopefully in a few hours, if no problems pop up during testing.


Oh OK, I think the confusion was on my end: you are hoping to integrate the
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM in with this. Let me take a peek there, because otherwise,
we can only reduce, but not fully remove the duplication.

thanks,
