tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()
__string() is limited:
- it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types
- a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size
We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.
Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:
TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
TP_ARGS(args),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field(int, namelen)
__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
...
),
TP_fast_assign(
char *name = __get_str(name);
if (args->namelen)
memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
name[args->namelen] = '\0';
__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
),
TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
__entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
__entry->namelen)
);

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old

experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: Fix double CPP substitution in TRACE_EVENT_FN
TRACE_EVENT_FN relays on TRACE_EVENT by reprocessing its parameters
into the ftrace events CPP macro. This leads to a double substitution
in some cases.
For example, a bad consequence is a format always prefixed by
"%s, %s\n" for every TRACE_EVENT_FN based events.
Eg:
cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter/format
[...]
print fmt: "%s, %s\n", "\"NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)\"",\
"REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3],\
REC->args[4], REC->args[5]"
This creates a failure in post-processing tools such as perf trace or
trace-cmd.
Then drop this double substitution and replace it by a new __cpparg()
macro that relays CPP arguments containing commas.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.
[ Impact: allow more compact memory usage for string tracing ]

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()

We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used

Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:

__field(int, namelen)

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()
__string() is limited:
- it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types
- a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size
We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.
Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:
TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
TP_ARGS(args),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field(int, namelen)
__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
...
),
TP_fast_assign(
char *name = __get_str(name);
if (args->namelen)
memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
name[args->namelen] = '\0';
__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
),
TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
__entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
__entry->namelen)
);

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()
__string() is limited:
- it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types
- a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size
We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.
Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:
TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
TP_ARGS(args),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field(int, namelen)
__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
...
),
TP_fast_assign(
char *name = __get_str(name);
if (args->namelen)
memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
name[args->namelen] = '\0';
__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
),
TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
__entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
__entry->namelen)
);

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()
__string() is limited:
- it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types
- a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size
We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.
Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:
TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
TP_ARGS(args),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field(int, namelen)
__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
...
),
TP_fast_assign(
char *name = __get_str(name);
if (args->namelen)
memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
name[args->namelen] = '\0';
__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
),
TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
__entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
__entry->namelen)
);

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure
Impact: lower overhead tracing
The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points
that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required
a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability
to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took
a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000
nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered
too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as
possible.
Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.
I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
locations.
This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.
The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
tracer.)
They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.
So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
Here's what usage looks like:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
TPPROTO(proto),
TPARGS(args),
TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
TRACE_STUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
[...]
),
TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
);
Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.
name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
args: the args in the proto type
fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
type: the C type of item.
item: the name of the item in the stucture
assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
An example of this would be:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
TPARGS(rq, p, success),
TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
),
TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
);
This creates us a unique struct of:
struct {
pid_t pid;
int success;
};
And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
entry->pid = p->pid;
entry->success = success;
The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.
The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h
Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
nice idea.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure
Impact: lower overhead tracing
The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points
that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required
a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability
to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took
a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000
nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered
too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as
possible.
Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.
I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
locations.
This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.
The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
tracer.)
They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.
So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
Here's what usage looks like:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
TPPROTO(proto),
TPARGS(args),
TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
TRACE_STUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
[...]
),
TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
);
Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.
name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
args: the args in the proto type
fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
type: the C type of item.
item: the name of the item in the stucture
assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
An example of this would be:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
TPARGS(rq, p, success),
TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
),
TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
);
This creates us a unique struct of:
struct {
pid_t pid;
int success;
};
And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
entry->pid = p->pid;
entry->success = success;
The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.
The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h
Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
nice idea.

tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array
Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events
section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all
the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like
the initcall sections) and the events are processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The _ftrace_event section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

tracing: new format for specialized trace points
Impact: clean up and enhancement
The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its
ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with
Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to
the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old
macro, and is more obvious to what it does.
Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the
sched_switch trace point.
The old method looked like this:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch,
TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
struct task_struct *next),
TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),
TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d",
prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio)
TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN],
next_comm,
TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm,
next->comm,
TASK_COMM_LEN)))
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio)
),
TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d")
);
The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields.
The new method:
/*
* Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler:
*
* (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events,
* but used by the latency tracer plugin. )
*/
TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch,
TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
struct task_struct *next),
TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),
TP_STRUCT__entry(

memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
__entry->next_pid = next->pid;
__entry->next_prio = next->prio;
)
);
This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts:
TP_PROTO: the proto type of the trace point
TP_ARGS: the arguments of the trace point
TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer
TP_printk: the printk format
TP_fast_assign: the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer
The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the
ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of
an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record
to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records
in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data
from the trace file.
The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function,
where the __entry is the handle to the record.

tracing: add TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL to record complex entries
Tom Zanussi pointed out that the simple TRACE_FIELD was not enough to
record trace data that required memcpy. This patch addresses this issue
by adding a TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL. The format is similar to TRACE_FIELD
but looks like so:
TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(type_item, item, cmd)
What TRACE_FIELD gave was:
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
The TRACE_FIELD would be used in declaring a structure:
struct {
type item;
};
And later assign it via:
entry->item = assign;
What TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL gives us is:
In the declaration of the structure:
struct {
type_item;
};
And the assignment:
cmd;
This change log will explain the one example used in the patch:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
struct task_struct *next),
TPARGS(rq, prev, next),
TPFMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d",
prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio)
TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN],
next_comm,
TPCMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm,
next->comm,
TASK_COMM_LEN)))
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio)
),
TPRAWFMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d")
);
The struct will be create as:
struct {
pid_t prev_pid;
int prev_prio;
char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];
pid_t next_pid;
int next_prio;
};
Note the TRACE_ENTRY in the cmd part of TRACE_SPECIAL. TRACE_ENTRY will
be set by the tracer to point to the structure inside the trace buffer.
entry->prev_pid = prev->pid;
entry->prev_prio = prev->prio;
memcpy(entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
entry->next_pid = next->pid;
entry->next_prio = next->prio

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()

We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()

Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure
Impact: lower overhead tracing
The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points
that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required
a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability
to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took
a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000
nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered
too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as
possible.
Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.
I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
locations.
This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.
The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
tracer.)
They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.
So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
Here's what usage looks like:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
TPPROTO(proto),
TPARGS(args),
TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
TRACE_STUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
[...]
),
TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
);
Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.
name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
args: the args in the proto type
fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
type: the C type of item.
item: the name of the item in the stucture
assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
An example of this would be:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
TPARGS(rq, p, success),
TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
),
TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
);
This creates us a unique struct of:
struct {
pid_t pid;
int success;
};
And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
entry->pid = p->pid;
entry->success = success;
The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.
The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h
Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
nice idea.

Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.
I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
locations.
This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.
The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
tracer.)
They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.
So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
Here's what usage looks like:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
TPPROTO(proto),
TPARGS(args),
TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
TRACE_STUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
[...]
),
TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
);
Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.
name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
args: the args in the proto type
fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
type: the C type of item.
item: the name of the item in the stucture
assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
An example of this would be:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
TPARGS(rq, p, success),
TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
),
TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
);
This creates us a unique struct of:
struct {
pid_t pid;
int success;
};
And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
entry->pid = p->pid;
entry->success = success;
The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.
The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h
Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
nice idea.

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()
__string() is limited:
- it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types
- a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size
We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.
Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:
TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
TP_ARGS(args),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field(int, namelen)
__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
...
),
TP_fast_assign(
char *name = __get_str(name);
if (args->namelen)
memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
name[args->namelen] = '\0';
__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
),
TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
__entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
__entry->namelen)
);

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support
This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure
Impact: lower overhead tracing
The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points
that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required
a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability
to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took
a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000
nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered
too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as
possible.
Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.
I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
locations.
This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.
The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
tracer.)
They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.
So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
Here's what usage looks like:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
TPPROTO(proto),
TPARGS(args),
TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
TRACE_STUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
[...]
),
TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
);
Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.
name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
args: the args in the proto type
fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
type: the C type of item.
item: the name of the item in the stucture
assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
An example of this would be:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
TPARGS(rq, p, success),
TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
),
TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
);
This creates us a unique struct of:
struct {
pid_t pid;
int success;
};
And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
entry->pid = p->pid;
entry->success = success;
The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.
The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h
Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
nice idea.

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()
__string() is limited:
- it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types
- a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size
We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.
Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:
TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
TP_ARGS(args),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field(int, namelen)
__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
...
),
TP_fast_assign(
char *name = __get_str(name);
if (args->namelen)
memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
name[args->namelen] = '\0';
__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
),
TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
__entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
__entry->namelen)
);
[ Impact: allow defining dynamic size arrays ]

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing/kvm: Use __print_hex() for kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint
The kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint used __print_insn()
for printing its instructions. However it makes the
format of the event hard to parse as it reveals TP
internals.
Fortunately, kernel provides __print_hex for almost
same purpose, we can use it instead of open coding
it. The user-space can be changed to parse it later.
That means raw kernel tracing will not be affected
by this change:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# cat events/kvm/kvm_emulate_insn/format
name: kvm_emulate_insn
ID: 29
format:
...

This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"

The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros

sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
Here's what usage looks like:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
TPPROTO(proto),
TPARGS(args),
TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
TRACE_STUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
[...]
),
TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
);
Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.
name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
args: the args in the proto type
fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
type: the C type of item.
item: the name of the item in the stucture
assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
An example of this would be:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
TPARGS(rq, p, success),
TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
),
TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
);
This creates us a unique struct of:
struct {
pid_t pid;
int success;
};
And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
entry->pid = p->pid;
entry->success = success;
The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.
The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h
Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
nice idea.

tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array
Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events
section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all
the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like
the initcall sections) and the events are processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The _ftrace_event section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure
Impact: lower overhead tracing
The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points
that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required
a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability
to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took
a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000
nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered
too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as
possible.
Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.
I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
locations.
This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.
The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
tracer.)
They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.
So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
Here's what usage looks like:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
TPPROTO(proto),
TPARGS(args),
TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
TRACE_STUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
[...]
),
TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
);
Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.
name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
args: the args in the proto type
fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
type: the C type of item.
item: the name of the item in the stucture
assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
An example of this would be:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
TPARGS(rq, p, success),
TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
),
TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
);
This creates us a unique struct of:
struct {
pid_t pid;
int success;
};
And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
entry->pid = p->pid;
entry->success = success;

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.
