Developers have been asking for the ability in the ftrace event tracer
to display names of bits in a flags variable.
Instead of printing out c2, it would be easier to read FOO|BAR|GOO,

switch, kmalloc flags, and even permision flags in accessing files.

The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between
signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the
event field struct/trace_define_fields(). Also define a simple macro,
is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the
trace macros. If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific
type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called
TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

In case a module uses the TRACE_EVENT macro for creating automated
events in ftrace, it may choose to use a different file name
than the defined system name, or choose to use a different path than
the default "include/trace/events" include path.
If this is done, then before including trace/define_trace.h the
header would define either "TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE" for the file
name or "TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH" for the include path.
If it does not define these, then the define_trace.h defines them
instead. If define trace defines them, then define_trace.h should
also undefine them before exiting. To do this a macro is used
to note this:
#ifndef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE TRACE_SYSTEM
# define UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
#endif
[...]
#ifdef UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# undef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# undef UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
#endif
The UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE acts as a CPP variable to know to undef
the TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE before leaving define_trace.h.
Unfortunately, due to cut and paste errors, the macros between
FILE and PATH got mixed up.

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.

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/mytrace.h>
This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.
Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/foo.h>
#include <trace/bar.h>
#include <trace/fido.h>

Impact: clean up
Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up
into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out
the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used.
It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the
TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined.
The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not
then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates
all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

While trying to optimize the new lock on reiserfs to replace
the bkl, I find the lock tracing very useful though it lacks
something important for performance (and latency) instrumentation:
the time a task waits for a lock.
That's what this patch implements:
bash-4816 [000] 202.652815: lock_contended: lock_contended: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key
bash-4816 [000] 202.652819: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
<...>-4787 [000] 202.652825: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
<...>-4787 [000] 202.652829: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
bash-4816 [000] 202.652833: lock_acquired: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key (16.005 us)
As shown above, the "lock acquired" field is followed by the time
it has been waiting for the lock. Usually, a lock contended entry
is followed by a near lock_acquired entry with a non-zero time waited.

The tracing header needs to include definitions for the macros used and
the types referenced. This lets automated tracing tools like SystemTap
make use of the tracepoint without any specific knowledge of its
meaning (leaving that to the user).

Introduce softirq entry/exit tracepoints. These are useful for
augmenting existing tracers, and to figure out softirq frequencies and
timings.

Impact: clean up
In trying to stay consistant with the C style format in the TRACE_EVENT
macro, it makes more sense to do the printk after the assigning of
the variables.

Impact: clean up
The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is no longer used by trace points
and only the DECLARE_TRACE, TRACE_FORMAT or TRACE_EVENT macros should
be used by them. Although the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is still used
by the internal tracing utility, it should not be used in core
kernel code.

Impact: enhancement
Converted the two irq trace point macros. The entry macro copies
the name of the irq handler, thus it is better to simply use the
TRACE_FORMAT macro which uses the trace_printk.
The return of the handler does not need to record the name, thus
the faster C style handler is more approriate.

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(
__array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN )
__field( pid_t, prev_pid )
__field( int, prev_prio )
__array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN )
__field( pid_t, next_pid )
__field( int, next_prio )
),
TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]",
__entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio,
__entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio),
TP_fast_assign(
memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
__entry->prev_pid = prev->pid;
__entry->prev_prio = prev->prio;
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.

Impact: clean up
The macros TPPROTO, TPARGS, TPFMT, TPRAWFMT, and TPCMD all look a bit
ugly. This patch adds an underscore to their names.

Impact: build fix
The 'struct power_trace' definition is needed (for the event tracer) even if
the power-tracer plugin is turned off in the .config.
