TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...
Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.
- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.
And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
# ls -l -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out

Changelog from v2 -> v3:
- use the newly introduced __dynamic_array().
Changelog from v1 -> v2:
- use __string() instead of __array() to minimize the memory required
to store hex dump of rq->cmd().
- support large pc requests.
- add missing blk_fill_rwbs_rq() in block_rq_requeue TRACE_EVENT.
- some cleanups.
