The trace events have a __bitmask field that can be used for anything that requires bitmasks. Although currently it is only used for CPU masks, it could be used in the future for any type of bitmasks. There is some user space tooling that wants to know if a field is a CPU mask and not just some random unsigned long bitmask. Introduce "__cpumask()" helper functions that work the same as the current __bitmask() helpers but displays in the format file: field:__data_loc cpumask_t *[] mask; offset:36; size:4; signed:0; Instead of: field:__data_loc unsigned long[] mask; offset:32; size:4; signed:0; The main difference is the type. Instead of "unsigned long" it is "cpumask_t *". Note, this type field needs to be a real type in the __dynamic_array() logic that both __cpumask and__bitmask use, but the comparison field requires it to be a scalar type whereas cpumask_t is a structure (non-scalar). But everything works when making it a pointer. Valentin added changes to remove the need of passing in "nr_bits" and the __cpumask will always use nr_cpumask_bits as its size.
