[PATCH 5.13 111/800] seq_buf: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() support data longer than 8

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-07-12 08:17:04
Also in: lkml

From: Yun Zhou <redacted>

commit 6a2cbc58d6c9d90cd74288cc497c2b45815bc064 upstream.

Since the raw memory 'data' does not go forward, it will dump repeated
data if the data length is more than 8. If we want to dump longer data
blocks, we need to repeatedly call macro SEQ_PUT_HEX_FIELD. I think it
is a bit redundant, and multiple function calls also affect the performance.
