tracing/synthetic: Fix order of struct trace_dynamic_info
To make handling BIG and LITTLE endian better the offset/len of dynamic fields of the synthetic events was changed into a structure of: struct trace_dynamic_info { #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN u16 offset; u16 len; #else u16 len; u16 offset; #endif }; to replace the manual changes of: data_offset = offset & 0xffff; data_offest = len << 16; But if you look closely, the above is: <len> << 16 | offset Which in little endian would be in memory: offset_lo offset_hi len_lo len_hi and in big endian: len_hi len_lo offset_hi offset_lo Which if broken into a structure would be: struct trace_dynamic_info { #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN u16 len; u16 offset; #else u16 offset; u16 len; #endif }; Which is the opposite of what was defined. Fix this and just to be safe also add "__packed".
