printk, tracing: Avoiding unneeded blank lines
Printk messages often finish with '\n' to cause a new line.
But as each tracepoint is already printed in a new line,
printk messages that finish with '\n' ends up adding a blank
line to the trace output. For example:
kworker/0:1-86 [000] d... 46.006949: console: [ 46.006946] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 3
kworker/2:2-374 [002] d... 48.699342: console: [ 48.699339] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
kworker/2:2-374 [002] d... 49.041450: console: [ 49.041448] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=5986, idProduct=0
To avoid unneeded blank lines, this patch checks if the printk
message finishes with '\n', if so, it cut is off the '\n' to
avoid blank lines.
In a patched kernel, the same messages are printed without
extra blank lines. For example:
kworker/0:4-185 [000] d... 23.641738: console: [ 23.641736] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 3
kworker/0:4-185 [000] d... 24.918703: console: [ 24.918700] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
kworker/0:4-185 [000] d... 25.228308: console: [ 25.228306] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=5986, idProduct=02d5
