From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
When printing a dynamic array in a trace event, the method is rather ugly.
It has the format of:
__print_array(__get_dynamic_array(array),
__get_dynmaic_array_len(array) / el_size, el_size)
Since dynamic arrays are known to the tracing infrastructure, create a
helper macro that does the above for you.
__print_dynamic_array(array, el_size)
Which would expand to the same output.

I'm currently adding code where I need this patch too ;-)
I can make a branch that only has this patch based off of v6.12-rc1 where
we can both use it. Can we do that?

Can we do that? I take this back. I'm doing something a little different (updating ftrace specific events, which has their own macros). Feel free to keep using it and pulling it into your tree. -- Steve
