b111545d26 tracing: Remove the useless value assignment in test_create_synth_event()
The value of variable ret is overwritten on the delete branch in the
test_create_synth_event() and we care more about the above error than
this delete portion. Remove it.

bd82631d7c tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic events
Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as:

  # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event.

It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing
trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to
synthetic events via the trace() action.

With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined:

  # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either
dynamic or static strings:

  # echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events

The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as
the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file.

[ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes:

  I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings
  must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be
  parsed correctly. ]

3c18a9be7c tracing: Have synthetic event test use raw_smp_processor_id()
The test code that tests synthetic event creation pushes in as one of its
test fields the current CPU using "smp_processor_id()". As this is just
something to see if the value is correctly passed in, and the actual CPU
used does not matter, use raw_smp_processor_id(), otherwise with debug
preemption enabled, a warning happens as the smp_processor_id() is called
without preemption enabled.

279eef0531 tracing: Make sure synth_event_trace() example always uses u64
synth_event_trace() is the varargs version of synth_event_trace_array(),
which takes an array of u64, as do synth_event_add_val() et al.

To not only be consistent with those, but also to address the fact
that synth_event_trace() expects every arg to be of the same type
since it doesn't also pass in e.g. a format string, the caller needs
to make sure all args are of the same type, u64.  u64 is used because
it needs to accomodate the largest type available in synthetic events,
which is u64.

This fixes the bug reported by the kernel test robot/Rong Chen.

9fe41efaca tracing: Add synth event generation test module
Add a test module that checks the basic functionality of the in-kernel
synthetic event generation API by generating and tracing synthetic
events from a module.
