[PATCH] tracing/selftests: Add test to test max subbuf size with trace_marker

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Dec 12 2023 - 13:54:04 EST


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

Now that the trace_marker can write up to the max size of the sub buffer.
Add a test to see if it actually can happen.

The README is updated to state that the trace_marker writes can be broken
up, and the test checks the README for that statement so that it does not
fail on older kernels that does not support this.

If the README does not have the specified update, the test will still test
if all the string is written (although it would be broken up), as that
should work with older kernels.
