[PATCH v3 05/22] tracefs: add __get_str_strip_nl - RFC

[Łukasz Bartosik]

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

This variant of __get_str() removes the trailing newline. It is for
use by printk/debug-ish events which already have a trailing newline.
It is here to support [1] which taught dyndbg to send pr_debug() msgs
to tracefs, via -x/T flag. It "reused" the include/trace/events/printk.h
console event, which does the following:

       TP_fast_assign(
               /*
                * Each trace entry is printed in a new line.
                * If the msg finishes with '\n', cut it off
                * to avoid blank lines in the trace.
                */
               if (len > 0 && (msg[len-1] == '\n'))
                       len -= 1;

               memcpy(__get_str(s), msg, len);
               __get_str(s)[len] = 0;
	),

That trim work could be avoided, *if* all pr_debug() callers are
known to have no '\n' to strip.  While that's not true for *all*
callsites, it is 99+% true for DRM.debug callsites, and can be made
true for some subsets of prdbg/dyndbg callsites.

WANTED: macros to validate that a literal format-str has or doesn't
have a trailing newline, or to provide or trim trailing newline(s?).
Should be usable in TP_printk* defns, for use in new event defns.
