Federico Vaga 67dfc376f3 tools lib traceevent: Use asprintf when possible
It makes the code clearer and less error prone.

clearer:
- less code
- the code is now using the same format to create strings dynamically

less error prone:
- no magic number +2 +9 +5 to compute the size
- no copy&paste of the strings to compute the size and to concatenate

The function `asprintf` is not POSIX standard but the program
was already using it. Later it can be decided to use only POSIX
functions, then we can easly replace all the `asprintf(3)` with a local
implementation of that function.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
