__print_symbolic() is designed for exporting the print formatting table to userspace and allows parsing tool, such as trace-cmd and perf, to analyze trace log according to this print formatting table, meanwhile, by using __print_symbolic()s, save space in the trace ring buffer. original print format: print fmt: "%s: %s: HDR:%s, CDB:%s", __get_str(str), __get_str(dev_name), __print_hex(REC->hdr, sizeof(REC->hdr)), __print_hex(REC->tsf, sizeof(REC->tsf)) after this change: print fmt: "%s: %s: HDR:%s, CDB:%s", print_symbolic(REC->str_t, {0, "send"}, {1, "complete"}, {2, "dev_complete"}, {3, "query_send"}, {4, "query_complete"}, {5, "query_complete_err"}, {6, "tm_send"}, {7, "tm_complete"}, {8, "tm_complete_err"}), __get_str(dev_name), __print_hex(REC->hdr, sizeof(REC->hdr)), __print_hex(REC->tsf, sizeof(REC->tsf)) Note: This patch just converts current __get_str(str) to __print_symbolic(), the original tracing log will not be affected by this change, so it doesn't break what current parsers expect.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
