Hi,
I am doing an ftrace plugin for Babeltrace 2 [1], and while I was
parsing the event fields I had an error saying that `regcache_sync` has
2 fields named `type`. The problem seems to come from the
drivers/base/regmap/trace.h file [2]. This is the patch where this was
added: [3]. The `int field` type is not assigned, so I was wondering if
it is normal that the field is there.
This is the format of this event:
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/regmap/regcache_sync/format
name: regcache_sync
ID: 1216
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1;signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:__data_loc char[] name; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
field:__data_loc char[] status; offset:12; size:4; signed:1;
field:__data_loc char[] type; offset:16; size:4; signed:1;
field:int type; offset:20; size:4; signed:1;
print fmt: "%s type=%s status=%s", __get_str(name), __get_str(type),
__get_str(status)
Thank you,
Philippe

It looks like dumb luck that this ever worked. :-/
The correct fix is to nuke that "int type" field. It's not even assigned.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Sorry Steven I forgot to reply all.
This is the original message:
Perfect,
I can prepare a patch, I think this would be a good learning opportunity
for me.
Thank you,
Philippe
