64
* The TRACE_EVENT macro is broken up into 5 parts.
65
*
66
* name: name of the trace point. This is also how to enable the tracepoint.
67
* A function called trace_foo_bar() will be created.
68
*
69
* proto: the prototype of the function trace_foo_bar()
70
* Here it is trace_foo_bar(char *foo, int bar).
71
*
72
* args: must match the arguments in the prototype.
73
* Here it is simply "foo, bar".
74
*
75
* struct: This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
76
* The items declared here become part of a special structure
77
* called "__entry", which can be used in the fast_assign part of the
78
* TRACE_EVENT macro.
79
*
80
* Here are the currently defined types you can use:
81
*
82
* __field : Is broken up into type and name. Where type can be any
83
* primitive type (integer, long or pointer).
84
*
85
* __field(int, foo)
86
*
87
* __entry->foo = 5;
88
*
89
* __field_struct : This can be any static complex data type (struct, union
90
* but not an array). Be careful using complex types, as each
91
* event is limited in size, and copying large amounts of data
92
* into the ring buffer can slow things down.
93
*
94
* __field_struct(struct bar, foo)
95
*
96
* __entry->bar.x = y;
97
98
* __array: There are three fields (type, name, size). The type is the
99
* type of elements in the array, the name is the name of the array.
100
* size is the number of items in the array (not the total size).
101
*
102
* __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying: char foo[10];
103
*
104
* Assigning arrays can be done like any array:
105
*
106
* __entry->foo[0] = 'a';
107
*
108
* memcpy(__entry->foo, bar, 10);
109
*
110
* __dynamic_array: This is similar to array, but can vary its size from
111
* instance to instance of the tracepoint being called.
112
* Like __array, this too has three elements (type, name, size);
113
* type is the type of the element, name is the name of the array.
114
* The size is different than __array. It is not a static number,
115
* but the algorithm to figure out the length of the array for the
116
* specific instance of tracepoint. Again, size is the number of
117
* items in the array, not the total length in bytes.
118
*
119
* __dynamic_array( int, foo, bar) is similar to: int foo[bar];
120
*
121
* Note, unlike arrays, you must use the __get_dynamic_array() macro
122
* to access the array.
123
*
124
* memcpy(__get_dynamic_array(foo), bar, 10);
125
*
126
* Notice, that "__entry" is not needed here.
127
*
128
* __string: This is a special kind of __dynamic_array. It expects to
129
* have a null terminated character array passed to it (it allows
130
* for NULL too, which would be converted into "(null)"). __string
131
* takes two parameter (name, src), where name is the name of
132
* the string saved, and src is the string to copy into the
133
* ring buffer.
134
*
135
* __string(foo, bar) is similar to: strcpy(foo, bar)
136
*
137
* To assign a string, use the helper macro __assign_str().
138
*
139
* __assign_str(foo);
140
*
141
* The __string() macro saves off the string that is passed into
142
* the second parameter, and the __assign_str() will store than
143
* saved string into the "foo" field.
144
*
145
* __vstring: This is similar to __string() but instead of taking a
146
* dynamic length, it takes a variable list va_list 'va' variable.
147
* Some event callers already have a message from parameters saved
148
* in a va_list. Passing in the format and the va_list variable
149
* will save just enough on the ring buffer for that string.
150
* Note, the va variable used is a pointer to a va_list, not
151
* to the va_list directly.
152
*
153
* (va_list *va)
154
*
155
* __vstring(foo, fmt, va) is similar to: vsnprintf(foo, fmt, va)
156
*
157
* To assign the string, use the helper macro __assign_vstr().
158
*
159
* __assign_vstr(foo, fmt, va);
160
*
161
* In most cases, the __assign_vstr() macro will take the same
162
* parameters as the __vstring() macro had to declare the string.
163
* Use __get_str() to retrieve the __vstring() just like it would for
164
* __string().
165
*
166
* __string_len: This is a helper to a __dynamic_array, but it understands
167
* that the array has characters in it, it will allocate 'len' + 1 bytes
168
* in the ring buffer and add a '\0' to the string. This is
169
* useful if the string being saved has no terminating '\0' byte.
170
* It requires that the length of the string is known as it acts
171
* like a memcpy().
172
*
173
* Declared with:
174
*
175
* __string_len(foo, bar, len)
176
*
177
* To assign this string, use the helper macro __assign_str().
178
* The length is saved via the __string_len() and is retrieved in
179
* __assign_str().
180
*
181
* __assign_str(foo);
182
*
183
* Then len + 1 is allocated to the ring buffer, and a nul terminating
184
* byte is added. This is similar to:
185
*
186
* memcpy(__get_str(foo), bar, len);
187
* __get_str(foo)[len] = 0;
188
*
189
* The advantage of using this over __dynamic_array, is that it
190
* takes care of allocating the extra byte on the ring buffer
191
* for the '\0' terminating byte, and __get_str(foo) can be used
192
* in the TP_printk().
193
*
194
* __bitmask: This is another kind of __dynamic_array, but it expects
195
* an array of longs, and the number of bits to parse. It takes
196
* two parameters (name, nr_bits), where name is the name of the
197
* bitmask to save, and the nr_bits is the number of bits to record.
198
*
199
* __bitmask(target_cpu, nr_cpumask_bits)
200
*
201
* To assign a bitmask, use the __assign_bitmask() helper macro.
202
*
203
* __assign_bitmask(target_cpus, cpumask_bits(bar), nr_cpumask_bits);
204
*
205
* __cpumask: This is pretty much the same as __bitmask but is specific for
206
* CPU masks. The type displayed to the user via the format files will
207
* be "cpumaks_t" such that user space may deal with them differently
208
* if they choose to do so, and the bits is always set to nr_cpumask_bits.
209
*
210
* __cpumask(target_cpu)
211
*
212
* To assign a cpumask, use the __assign_cpumask() helper macro.
213
*
214
* __assign_cpumask(target_cpus, cpumask_bits(bar));
215
*
216
* fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
217
* into the ring buffer. A special variable called "__entry" will be the
218
* structure that points into the ring buffer and has the same fields as
219
* described by the struct part of TRACE_EVENT above.
220
*
221
* printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
222
* useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
223
* the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
224
* This is also used to print out the data from the trace files.
225
* Again, the __entry macro is used to access the data from the ring buffer.
226
*
227
* Note, __dynamic_array, __string, __bitmask and __cpumask require special
228
* helpers to access the data.
229
*
230
* For __dynamic_array(int, foo, bar) use __get_dynamic_array(foo)
231
* Use __get_dynamic_array_len(foo) to get the length of the array
232
* saved. Note, __get_dynamic_array_len() returns the total allocated
233
* length of the dynamic array; __print_array() expects the second
234
* parameter to be the number of elements. To get that, the array length
235
* needs to be divided by the element size.
236
*
237
* For __string(foo, bar) use __get_str(foo)
238
*
239
* For __bitmask(target_cpus, nr_cpumask_bits) use __get_bitmask(target_cpus)
240
*
241
* For __cpumask(target_cpus) use __get_cpumask(target_cpus)
242
*
243
*
244
* Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
245
* to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the
246
* TP_STRUCT__entry.

* if there are more than one tracepoint that uses the same format
487
* for the proto, args, struct, assign and printk, and only the name
488
* is different, it is highly recommended to use the DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS
489
*
490
* DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() macro creates most of the functions for the
491
* tracepoint. Then DEFINE_EVENT() is use to hook a tracepoint to those
492
* functions. This DEFINE_EVENT() is an instance of the class and can
493
* be enabled and disabled separately from other events (either TRACE_EVENT
494
* or other DEFINE_EVENT()s).
495
*
496
* Note, TRACE_EVENT() itself is simply defined as:
497
*
498
* #define TRACE_EVENT(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, printk) \
499
* DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, printk); \
500
* DEFINE_EVENT(name, name, proto, args)
501
*
502
* The DEFINE_EVENT() also can be declared with conditions and reg functions:
503
*
504
* DEFINE_EVENT_CONDITION(template, name, proto, args, cond);
505
* DEFINE_EVENT_FN(template, name, proto, args, reg, unreg);
