tracing: Make ftrace packed events have align of 1
When using trace-cmd on 5.6-rt for the function graph tracer, the output was corrupted. It gave output like this: funcgraph_entry: func=0xffffffff depth=38982 funcgraph_entry: func=0x1ffffffff depth=16044 funcgraph_exit: func=0xffffffff overrun=0x92539aaf00000000 calltime=0x92539c9900000072 rettime=0x100000072 depth=11084 funcgraph_exit: func=0xffffffff overrun=0x9253946e00000000 calltime=0x92539e2100000072 rettime=0x72 depth=26033702 funcgraph_entry: func=0xffffffff depth=85798 funcgraph_entry: func=0x1ffffffff depth=12044 The reason was because the tracefs/events/ftrace/funcgraph_entry/exit format file was incorrect. The -rt kernel adds more common fields to the trace events. Namely, common_migrate_disable and common_preempt_lazy_count. Each is one byte in size. This changes the alignment of the normal payload. Most events are aligned normally, but the function and function graph events are defined with a "PACKED" macro, that packs their payload. As the offsets displayed in the format files are now calculated by an aligned field, the aligned field for function and function graph events should be 1, not their normal alignment. With aligning of the funcgraph_entry event, the format file has: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:unsigned char common_migrate_disable; offset:8; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_lazy_count; offset:9; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned long func; offset:16; size:8; signed:0; field:int depth; offset:24; size:4; signed:1; But the actual alignment is: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:unsigned char common_migrate_disable; offset:8; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_lazy_count; offset:9; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned long func; offset:12; size:8; signed:0; field:int depth; offset:20; size:4; signed:1; Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200609220041.2a3b527f@oasis.local.home Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 04ae87a5 ("ftrace: Rework event_create_dir()") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
