[RFC/PATCH] lib/vsprintf: Add support to store cpumask

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Tue Jun 28 2016 - 11:34:41 EST


When using trace_printk for cpumask I've got wrong results,
some bitmaps were completely different from what I expected.

Currently you get wrong results when using trace_printk
on local cpumask, like:

void test(void)
{
struct cpumask mask;
...
trace_printk("mask '%*pbl'\n", cpumask_pr_args(&mask));
}

The reason is that trace_printk stores the data into binary
buffer (pointer for cpumask), which is read after via read
handler of trace/trace_pipe files. At that time pointer for
local cpumask is no longer valid and you get wrong data.

Fixing this by storing complete cpumask into tracing buffer.
