This is also how to enable the tracepoint. * A function called trace_foo_bar() will be created. * * proto: the prototype of the function trace_foo_bar() * Here it is trace_foo_bar(char *foo, int bar). * * args: must match the arguments in the prototype. * Here it is simply "foo, bar". * * struct: This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer. * The items declared here become part of a special structure * called "__entry", which can be used in the fast_assign part of the * TRACE_EVENT macro. * * Here are the currently defined types you can use: * * __field : Is broken up into type and name. Where type can be any * primitive type (integer, long or pointer). * * __field(int, foo) * * __entry->foo = 5; * * __field_struct : This can be any static complex data type (struct, union * but not an array). Be careful using complex types, as each * event is limited in size, and copying large amounts of data * into the ring buffer can slow things down. * * __field_struct(struct bar, foo) * * __entry->bar.x = y; * __array: There are three fields (type, name, size). The type is the * type of elements in teh array, the name is the name of the array. * size is the number of items in the array (not the total size). * * __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying: char foo[10]; * * Assigning arrays can be done like any array: * * __entry->foo[0] = 'a'; * * memcpy(__entry->foo, bar, 10); * * __dynamic_array: This is similar to array, but can vary its size from * instance to instance of the tracepoint being called. * Like __array, this too has three elements (type, name, size); * type is the type of the element, name is the name of the array. * The size is different than __array. It is not a static number, * but the algorithm to figure out the length of the array for the * specific instance of tracepoint. Again, size is the numebr of * items in the array, not the total length in bytes. * * __dynamic_array( int, foo, bar) is similar to: int foo[bar]; * * Note, unlike arrays, you must use the __get_dynamic_array() macro * to access the array. * * memcpy(__get_dynamic_array(foo), bar, 10); * * Notice, that "__entry" is not needed here. * * __string: This is a special kind of __dynamic_array. It expects to * have a nul terminated character array passed to it (it allows * for NULL too, which would be converted into "(null)"). __string * takes two paramenter (name, src), where name is the name of * the string saved, and src is the string to copy into the * ring buffer. * * __string(foo, bar) is similar to: strcpy(foo, bar) * * To assign a string, use the helper macro __assign_str(). * * __assign_str(foo, bar); * * In most cases, the __assign_str() macro will take the same * parameters as the __string() macro had to declare the string. * * __bitmask: This is another kind of __dynamic_array, but it expects * an array of longs, and the number of bits to parse. It takes * two parameters (name, nr_bits), where name is the name of the * bitmask to save, and the nr_bits is the number of bits to record. * * __bitmask(target_cpu, nr_cpumask_bits) * * To assign a bitmask, use the __assign_bitmask() helper macro. * * __assign_bitmask(target_cpus, cpumask_bits(bar), nr_cpumask_bits); * * * fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items * into the ring buffer. A special variable called "__entry" will be the * structure that points into the ring buffer and has the same fields as * described by the struct part of TRACE_EVENT above. * * printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is * useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line, * the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method. * This is also used to print out the data from the trace files. * Again, the __entry macro is used to access the data from the ring buffer. * * Note, __dynamic_array, __string, and __bitmask require special helpers * to access the data. * * For __dynamic_array(int, foo, bar) use __get_dynamic_array(foo) * Use __get_dynamic_array_len(foo) to get the length of the array * saved. Note, __get_dynamic_array_len() returns the total allocated * length of the dynamic array; __print_array() expects the second * parameter to be the number of elements. To get that, the array length * needs to be divided by the element size. * * For __string(foo, bar) use __get_str(foo) * * For __bitmask(target_cpus, nr_cpumask_bits) use __get_bitmask(target_cpus) * * * Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler * to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the * TP_STRUCT__entry. */ /* * It is OK to have helper functions in the file, but they need to be protected * from being defined more than once.
