[PATCH 6/7] kmemtrace: restore original tracing data binary format, improve ABI

From: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu
Date: Mon Mar 23 2009 - 09:14:26 EST


When kmemtrace was ported to ftrace, the marker strings were taken as an
indication of how the traced data was being exposed to the userspace.
However, the actual format had been binary, not text.

This restores the original binary format, while also adding an origin CPU
field (since ftrace doesn't expose the data per-CPU to userspace), and
re-adding the timestamp field. It also drops arch-independent field
sizing where it didn't make sense, so pointers won't always be 64 bits
wide like they used to.
