13 * This file is called trace-events-sample.h but we want the system

63 * The TRACE_EVENT macro is broken up into 5 parts.
64 *
65 * name: name of the trace point. This is also how to enable the tracepoint.
66 * A function called trace_foo_bar() will be created.
67 *
68 * proto: the prototype of the function trace_foo_bar()
69 * Here it is trace_foo_bar(char *foo, int bar).
70 *
71 * args: must match the arguments in the prototype.
72 * Here it is simply "foo, bar".
73 *
74 * struct: This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
4e20e3a6
SRRH
75 * The items declared here become part of a special structure
76 * called "__entry", which can be used in the fast_assign part of the
77 * TRACE_EVENT macro.
78 *
79 * Here are the currently defined types you can use:
80 *
81 * __field : Is broken up into type and name. Where type can be any
82 * primitive type (integer, long or pointer).
83 *
84 * __field(int, foo)
85 *
86 * __entry->foo = 5;
87 *
88 * __field_struct : This can be any static complex data type (struct, union
89 * but not an array). Be careful using complex types, as each
90 * event is limited in size, and copying large amounts of data
91 * into the ring buffer can slow things down.
92 *
93 * __field_struct(struct bar, foo)
94 *
95 * __entry->bar.x = y;
96
97 * __array: There are three fields (type, name, size). The type is the
98 * type of elements in teh array, the name is the name of the array.
99 * size is the number of items in the array (not the total size).
100 *
101 * __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying: char foo[10];
102 *
103 * Assigning arrays can be done like any array:
104 *
105 * __entry->foo[0] = 'a';
106 *
107 * memcpy(__entry->foo, bar, 10);
108 *
109 * __dynamic_array: This is similar to array, but can vary is size from
110 * instance to instance of the tracepoint being called.
111 * Like __array, this too has three elements (type, name, size);
112 * type is the type of the element, name is the name of the array.
113 * The size is different than __array. It is not a static number,
114 * but the algorithm to figure out the length of the array for the
115 * specific instance of tracepoint. Again, size is the numebr of
116 * items in the array, not the total length in bytes.
117 *
118 * __dynamic_array( int, foo, bar) is similar to: int foo[bar];
119 *
120 * Note, unlike arrays, you must use the __get_dynamic_array() macro
121 * to access the array.
122 *
123 * memcpy(__get_dynamic_array(foo), bar, 10);
124 *
125 * Notice, that "__entry" is not needed here.
126 *
127 * __string: This is a special kind of __dynamic_array. It expects to
128 * have a nul terminated character array passed to it (it allows
129 * for NULL too, which would be converted into "(null)"). __string
130 * takes two paramenter (name, src), where name is the name of
131 * the string saved, and src is the string to copy into the
132 * ring buffer.
133 *
134 * __string(foo, bar) is similar to: strcpy(foo, bar)
135 *
136 * To assign a string, use the helper macro __assign_str().
137 *
138 * __assign_str(foo, bar);
139 *
140 * In most cases, the __assign_str() macro will take the same
141 * parameters as the __string() macro had to declare the string.
142 *
143 * __bitmask: This is another kind of __dynamic_array, but it expects
144 * an array of longs, and the number of bits to parse. It takes
145 * two parameters (name, nr_bits), where name is the name of the
146 * bitmask to save, and the nr_bits is the number of bits to record.
147 *
148 * __bitmask(target_cpu, nr_cpumask_bits)
149 *
150 * To assign a bitmask, use the __assign_bitmask() helper macro.
151 *
152 * __assign_bitmask(target_cpus, cpumask_bits(bar), nr_cpumask_bits);
9cfe06f8 153 *
9cfe06f8
SR
154 *
155 * fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
4e20e3a6
SRRH
156 * into the ring buffer. A special variable called "__entry" will be the
157 * structure that points into the ring buffer and has the same fields as
158 * described by the struct part of TRACE_EVENT above.
9cfe06f8
SR
159 *
160 * printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
161 * useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
162 * the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
4e20e3a6
SRRH
163 * This is also used to print out the data from the trace files.
164 * Again, the __entry macro is used to access the data from the ring buffer.
165 *
166 * Note, __dynamic_array, __string, and __bitmask require special helpers
167 * to access the data.
168 *
169 * For __dynamic_array(int, foo, bar) use __get_dynamic_array(foo)
170 * Use __get_dynamic_array_len(foo) to get the length of the array
171 * saved.
172 *
173 * For __string(foo, bar) use __get_str(foo)
174 *
175 * For __bitmask(target_cpus, nr_cpumask_bits) use __get_bitmask(target_cpus)
176 *
9cfe06f8
SR
177 *
178 * Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
179 * to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the
180 * TP_STRUCT__entry.

297 * There may be a case where a tracepoint should only be called if

303 *
304 * Would cause a little overhead when tracing is not enabled, and that
