    tracing: show proper address for trace-printk format · 4c739ff0
    Steven Rostedt authored
    Since the trace_printk may use pointers to the format fields
    in the buffer, they are exported via debugfs/tracing/printk_formats.
    This is used by utilities that read the ring buffer in binary format.
    It helps the utilities map the address of the format in the binary
    buffer to what the printf format looks like.
    
    Unfortunately, the way the output code works, it exports the address
    of the pointer to the format address, and not the format address
    itself. This makes the file totally useless in trying to figure
    out what format string a binary address belongs to.
