I thought about that too, but it actually makes it more confusing.
Because, looking at this with a fresh POV, I would think that after I
declare a class, I would use DEFINE_CLASS_EVENT with that class.

But that is looking at it out of context. Since the parameters show
exactly what is going on, it may be fine.

I really would like to get a comment from somebody not developing
tracers but using them. Because I think we are so ingrained in this,
that we have lost the outsider's POV.


So, with the above names, this is an example:

DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(sched_wakeup_template,

        TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),

        TP_ARGS(rq, p, success),

        TP_STRUCT__entry(
                __array(        char,   comm,   TASK_COMM_LEN   )
                __field(        pid_t,  pid                     )
                __field(        int,    prio                    )
                __field(        int,    success                 )
                __field(        int,    target_cpu              )
        ),

        TP_fast_assign(
                memcpy(__entry->comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
                __entry->pid            = p->pid;
                __entry->prio           = p->prio;
                __entry->success        = success;
                __entry->target_cpu     = task_cpu(p);
        ),

        TP_printk("comm=%s pid=%d prio=%d success=%d target_cpu=%03d",
                  __entry->comm, __entry->pid, __entry->prio,
                  __entry->success, __entry->target_cpu)
);

DEFINE_EVENT(sched_wakeup_template, sched_wakeup,
             TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
             TP_ARGS(rq, p, success));

DEFINE_CLASS_EVENT(sched_switch,

        TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
                 struct task_struct *next),

        TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),

        TP_STRUCT__entry(
                __array(        char,   prev_comm,      TASK_COMM_LEN   )
                __field(        pid_t,  prev_pid                        )
                __field(        int,    prev_prio                       )
                __field(        long,   prev_state                      )
                __array(        char,   next_comm,      TASK_COMM_LEN   )
                __field(        pid_t,  next_pid                        )
                __field(        int,    next_prio                       )
        ),

        TP_fast_assign(
                memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
                __entry->prev_pid       = prev->pid;
                __entry->prev_prio      = prev->prio;
                __entry->prev_state     = prev->state;
                memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
                __entry->next_pid       = next->pid;
                __entry->next_prio      = next->prio;
        ),

        TP_printk("prev_comm=%s prev_pid=%d prev_prio=%d prev_state=%s ==> next_comm=%s next_pid=%d next_prio=%d",
                __entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio,
                __entry->prev_state ?
                  __print_flags(__entry->prev_state, "|",
                                { 1, "S"} , { 2, "D" }, { 4, "T" }, { 8, "t" },
                                { 16, "Z" }, { 32, "X" }, { 64, "x" },
                                { 128, "W" }) : "R",
                __entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio)
);

Anyone have any comments to whether or not the above is good or bad?
