Jiri Olsa was writing a plugin for the cfg80211_tx_mlme_mgmt trace
event, and was not able to get the implemented function working.
The event's print fmt looks like:
"netdev:%s(%d), ftype:0x%.2x", REC->name, REC->ifindex,
__le16_to_cpup((__le16 *)__get_dynamic_array(frame))
As there's no helper function for __le16_to_cpup(), Jiri was creating one
with a plugin. But unfortunately, it would not work even though he set
up the plugin correctly.
The problem is that the function parameters do not handle the helper
function "__get_dynamic_array()", and that passes in a NULL pointer.
Adding PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY direct support to eval_num_arg() allows the
use of __get_dynamic_array() in function parameters.

Add the flags EVENT_FL_NOHANDLE and EVENT_FL_PRINTRAW to the event flags
to have the event either ignore the register handler or to ignore the
handler and also print the raw format respectively.
This allows a tool to force a raw format or non handle for an event.

Currently when using the raw format for fields, when looking at a
character array, to determine if it is a string or not, we make sure all
characters are "isprint()". If not, then we consider it a numeric array,
and print the hex numbers of the characters instead.
But it seems that '\n' fails the isprint() check! Add isspace() to the
check as well, such that if all characters pass isprint() or isspace()
it will assume the character array is a string.

The kernel has a few events with a format similar to this excerpt:
field:unsigned int len; offset:12; size:4; signed:0;
field:__data_loc unsigned char[] data_array; offset:16; size:4; signed:0;
print fmt: "%s", __print_hex(__get_dynamic_array(data_array), REC->len)
trace-cmd could already parse that arg correctly, but print_str_arg()
was unable to handle the first parameter being a dynamic array. (It
just printed a "field not found" warning).
Teach print_str_arg's PRINT_HEX case to handle the nested
PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY correctly. The output now matches the kernel's own
formatting for this case.

Fixing the dynamic array format field parsing.
Currently the event_read_fields function could segfault while parsing
dynamic array other than string type. The reason is the event->pevent
does not need to be set and gets dereferenced unconditionaly.
Also adding proper initialization of field->elementsize based on the
parsed dynamic type.

For some reason the libtraceevent tracepoint-parsing code is missing
the FIELD_IS_SIGNED flag-setting code, which causes problems for the
Perl trace event binding at least, since it ends up unable to
recognize negative numbers.
Things like checking for negative return values therefore fail, causing
scripts like rwtop to instead interpret the negative return value as a
large positive value, which in turn get added to e.g. read totals with
insanely invalid results.
So set the FIELD_IS_SIGNED flag for tracepoint events that specify
"signed:1".

Ingo reported (again!) that 'make clean' on perf/traceevent does not
work due to some reason with system header file. Quotes Ingo:
"Note that the old dependency related build failure thought to be
fixed in commit 860df5833e is back:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/stddef.h', needed by `.trace-seq.d'. Stop.
'make clean' itself does not work in libtraceevent:
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent> make clean
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/stddef.h', needed by `.trace-seq.d'. Stop.
So I had to clean it out manually:
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent> git ls-files --others | xargs rm
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent>
and then things build fine."
Try to fix it by excluding system headers from dependency generation.

Even though with the change of commit commit 2b29175 "tools lib
traceevent: Carve out events format parsing routine", allowed
__pevent_parse_format() to parse an event without the need of a pevent
handler, the event still needs to assign the pevent handed to it.
There's no problem with assigning it if the pevent is NULL, as the
event->pevent would be NULL without the assignment. But function parsing
handlers may be assigned to the pevent handler to help in parsing the
event. If there's no pevent then there would not be any function
handlers, but if the pevent isn't assigned first before parsing the
event, it wont honor the function handlers that were assigned.
Worse yet, the current code crashes if an event has a function that it
tries to parse. For example:
# perf record -e scsi:scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This happens because the scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout event format has the following:
scsi_trace_parse_cdb(p, __get_dynamic_array(cmnd), REC->cmd_len)
which hasn't been defined by the pevent code.

If __pevent_parse_format() succeeded but add_event() failed, 'ret' didn't
have a proper error code. Set it to PEVENT_ERRNO__MEM_ALLOC_FAILED.
In addition, at that point 'event' also has fields and format
information and they all need to be freed. Call pevent_free_format() to
handle it.
