    tracing/kprobes: Add bitfield type · 1ff511e3
    Masami Hiramatsu authored
    Add bitfield type for tracing arguments on kprobe-tracer.  The syntax of
    a bitfield type is:
    
     b<bit-size>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>
    
    e.g.
    
    Accessing 2 bits-width field with 4 bits-offset in 32 bits-width data at
    4 bytes offseted from the address pointed by AX register:
    
     +4(%ax):b2@4/32
    
    Since the width of container data depends on the arch, so I just added
    the container-size at the end.
