blkftrace: binary tracing, synthesizing old format
Impact: new feature
With this and a blkrawverify modified not to verify the sequence numbers
we can start using the userspace tools to verify that the data produced
with the ftrace plugin works as expected.
Example:
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo bin > /d/tracing/trace_options
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo blk > /d/tracing/current_tracer
[root@f10-1 ~]# cat /d/tracing/trace_pipe > sda1.blktrace.0
^C
[root@f10-1 ~]# ./blkrawverify --noseq sda1
Verifying sda1

Wrote output to sda1.verify.out
