With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.
This means that with:
__string(field, mystring)
Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.
There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:
git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file;
mv /tmp/test-file $a;
done
I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.
Note, the same updates will need to be done for:
__assign_str_len()
__assign_rel_str()
__assign_rel_str_len()
I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

Often userspace won't request the extack information, or they don't log it
because of log level or so, and even when they do, sometimes it's not
enough to know exactly what caused the error.
Netlink extack is the standard way of reporting erros with descriptive
error messages. With a trace point on it, we then can know exactly where
the error happened, regardless of userspace app. Also, we can even see if
the err msg was overwritten.
The wrapper do_trace_netlink_extack() is because trace points shouldn't be
called from .h files, as trace points are not that small, and the function
call to do_trace_netlink_extack() on the macros is not protected by
tracepoint_enabled() because the macros are called from modules, and this
would require exporting some trace structs. As this is error path, it's
better to export just the wrapper instead.
v2: removed leftover tracepoint declaration
