[PATCH 2/9 - v2][RFC] tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacks

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon May 03 2010 - 23:43:53 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch allows data to be passed to the tracepoint callbacks
if the tracepoint was created to do so.

The DECLARE_TRACE() now adds two new functions:

register_trace_mytracepoint_data()
unregister_trace_mytracepoint_data()

These two are the same as the original

register_trace_mytracepoint()
unregister_trace_mytracepoint()

But now allow you to pass a private data pointer that will
be passed to the callback handle. For example:

DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value);

will create a function called trace_mytracepoint()

void trace_mytracepoint(int value);

If the user wants to pass data to register a function to this tracepoint
and have data also passed to this callback, they can use:

int mycallback(int value, void *data);

register_trace_mytracepoint_data(mycallback, mydata);

Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the parameter after
the args.

A more detailed example:

DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

/* In the C file */

DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

[...]

trace_mytacepoint(status);

/* In a file registering this tracepoint */

int my_callback(int status, void *data)
{
struct my_struct my_data = data;
[...]
}

[...]
my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
init_my_data(my_data);
register_trace_mytracepoint_data(my_callback, my_data);

The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is the different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:

unregister_trace_mytracepoint_data(my_callback, my_data);

Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:

DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());

will cause an error.

If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:

DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);

Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.

This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:

text data bss dec hex filename
5788186 1337252 9351592 16477030 fb6b66 vmlinux.orig
5792282 1333796 9351592 16477670 fb6de6 vmlinux.class
5793448 1333780 9351592 16478820 fb7264 vmlinux.tracepoint

Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.

v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
do not need any arguments.
