net: skb: export skb drop reaons to user by TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM
As Eric reported, the 'reason' field is not presented when trace the kfree_skb event by perf: $ perf record -e skb:kfree_skb -a sleep 10 $ perf script ip_defrag 14605 [021] 221.614303: skb:kfree_skb: skbaddr=0xffff9d2851242700 protocol=34525 location=0xffffffffa39346b1 reason: The cause seems to be passing kernel address directly to TP_printk(), which is not right. As the enum 'skb_drop_reason' is not exported to user space through TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), perf can't get the drop reason string from the 'reason' field, which is a number. Therefore, we introduce the macro DEFINE_DROP_REASON(), which is used to define the trace enum by TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(). With the help of DEFINE_DROP_REASON(), now we can remove the auto-generate that we introduced in the commit ec43908d ("net: skb: use auto-generation to convert skb drop reason to string"), and define the string array 'drop_reasons'. Hmmmm...now we come back to the situation that ha...
