From bdd6df6af98ce7e70702edfb5fd5dbbd8d1b0453 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:12:22 +0200 Subject: tracing: provide trace_seq_reserve() trace_seq_reserve() allows a caller to reserve space in a trace_seq and write directly into it. This makes it easier to export binary data to userspace via the tracing interface, by simply filling in a struct.
