336 * tracepoint_string - register constant persistent string to trace system
337 * @str - a constant persistent string that will be referenced in tracepoints
338 *
339 * If constant strings are being used in tracepoints, it is faster and
340 * more efficient to just save the pointer to the string and reference
341 * that with a printf "%s" instead of saving the string in the ring buffer
342 * and wasting space and time.
343 *
344 * The problem with the above approach is that userspace tools that read
345 * the binary output of the trace buffers do not have access to the string.
346 * Instead they just show the address of the string which is not very
347 * useful to users.
348 *
349 * With tracepoint_string(), the string will be registered to the tracing
350 * system and exported to userspace via the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats
351 * file that maps the string address to the string text. This way userspace
352 * tools that read the binary buffers have a way to map the pointers to
353 * the ASCII strings they represent.
354 *
355 * The @str used must be a constant string and persistent as it would not
356 * make sense to show a string that no longer exists. But it is still fine
357 * to be used with modules, because when modules are unloaded, if they
358 * had tracepoints, the ring buffers are cleared too. As long as the string

457 * * The declared 'local variable' is called '__entry'
458 * *
459 * * __field(pid_t, prev_prid) is equivalent to a standard declariton:
460 * *
461 * * pid_t prev_pid;
462 * *
463 * * __array(char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN) is equivalent to:
464 * *
465 * * char prev_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];
466 * *
467 *
468 * TP_STRUCT__entry(
469 * __array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN )
470 * __field( pid_t, prev_pid )
471 * __field( int, prev_prio )
472 * __array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN )
473 * __field( pid_t, next_pid )
474 * __field( int, next_prio )
475 * ),
476 *
477 * *
478 * * Assign the entry into the trace record, by embedding
479 * * a full C statement block into TP_fast_assign(). You
480 * * can refer to the trace record as '__entry' -
481 * * otherwise you can put arbitrary C code in here.
482 * *
483 * * Note: this C code will execute every time a trace event
484 * * happens, on an active tracepoint.

511 * tracing setup, it is used to construct a function pointer based
512 * tracepoint callback (this is used by programmatic plugins and
513 * can also by used by generic instrumentation like SystemTap), and
514 * it is also used to expose a structured trace record in
156f5a78 515 * /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/.

517 * A set of (un)registration functions can be passed to the variant
518 * TRACE_EVENT_FN to perform any (un)registration work.
