[PATCH v4 05/39] tracefs: add __get_str_strip_nl

From: Łukasz Bartosik

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

This variant of __get_str() removes the trailing newline. It is for
use by printk/debug-ish events which already have a trailing newline.
It is here to support [1] which taught dyndbg to send pr_debug() msgs
to tracefs, via -T flag. It "reused" the include/trace/events/printk.h
console event, which does the following:

TP_fast_assign(
/*
* Each trace entry is printed in a new line.
* If the msg finishes with '\n', cut it off
* to avoid blank lines in the trace.
*/
if (len > 0 && (msg[len-1] == '\n'))
len -= 1;

memcpy(__get_str(s), msg, len);
__get_str(s)[len] = 0;
),

We can avoid trimming the last \n during write into the tracebuf, by
instead stripping it when reading the tracebuf. So do that.
