[for-next][PATCH 09/21] tracing: Clean up trace_seq.c

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Jul 03 2014 - 12:19:46 EST

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

For using trace_seq_*() functions in NMI context, I posted a patch to move
it to the lib/ directory. This caused Andrew Morton to take a look at the code.
He went through and gave a lot of comments about missing kernel doc,
inconsistent types for the save variable, mix match of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
and EXPORT_SYMBOL() as well as missing EXPORT_SYMBOL*()s. There were
a few comments about the way variables were being compared (int vs uint).

All these were good review comments and should be implemented regardless of
if trace_seq.c should be moved to lib/ or not.

+ * The trace_seq is a handy tool that allows you to pass a descriptor around
+ * to a buffer that other functions can write to. It is similar to the
+ * seq_file functionality but has some differences.
+ *
+ * To use it, the trace_seq must be initialized with trace_seq_init().
+ * This will set up the counters within the descriptor. You can call
+ * trace_seq_init() more than once to reset the trace_seq to start
+ * from scratch.
+ *
+ * The buffer size is currently PAGE_SIZE, although it may become dynamic
+ * in the future.
+ *
+ * A write to the buffer will either succed or fail. That is, unlike
+ * sprintf() there will not be a partial write (well it may write into
+ * the buffer but it wont update the pointers). This allows users to
+ * try to write something into the trace_seq buffer and if it fails
+ * they can flush it and try again.
