Subject: [RFC][PATCH 01/12 v3] x86/kvm/tracing: Use helper function trace_seq_buffer_ptr()

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <[email protected]>

To allow for the restructiong of the trace_seq code, we need users
of it to use the helper functions instead of accessing the internals
of the trace_seq structure itself.

I think the above should not be a const char *, because the location pointed to is surely being changed. It should either be a char * or a char * const.

Ah right. It should be 'char * const'.

Thanks, I'll update it.

Actually, I take that back. The contents of saved_ptr should not be
modified.

It may seem strange, but the update is done via the trace_seq_printf().
Then that content is return back to the user. The user should
definitely *not* modify the contents of saved_ptr.

This patch is good as is. It should not be a char *, or char * const.

At least not by the caller of the macro. The subsequent call to trace_seq_printf will be changing the contents at that address, but not through use of that pointer.

Agreed.

Yes. I did further checking and agree. Although that memory will be written, it isn't written through that pointer and it is the best type as a return value.
