[PATCH RESEND v3 3/3] tracing/synthetic: allocate one additional element for size

From: Sven Schnelle
Date: Wed Aug 16 2023 - 11:50:51 EST


While debugging another issue i noticed that the stack trace contains
one invalid entry at the end:

<idle>-0 [008] d..4. 26.484201: wake_lat: pid=0 delta=2629976084 000000009cc24024 stack=STACK:
=> __schedule+0xac6/0x1a98
=> schedule+0x126/0x2c0
=> schedule_timeout+0x150/0x2c0
=> kcompactd+0x9ca/0xc20
=> kthread+0x2f6/0x3d8
=> __ret_from_fork+0x8a/0xe8
=> 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b

This is because the code failed to add the one element containing the
number of entries to field_size.
