The trace_seq buffer is used to print out entire events. It's typically set to PAGE_SIZE * 2 as there's some events that can be quite large. As a side effect, writes to trace_marker is limited by both the size of the trace_seq buffer as well as the ring buffer's sub-buffer size (which is a power of PAGE_SIZE). By limiting the trace_seq size, it also limits the size of the largest string written to trace_marker. trace_seq does not need to be dependent on PAGE_SIZE like the ring buffer sub-buffers need to be. Hard code it to 8K which is PAGE_SIZE * 2 on most architectures. This will also limit the size of trace_marker on those architectures with greater than 4K PAGE_SIZE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
