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 Reported-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
