[PATCH v3 03/12] tracing: expose event tracing infrastructure
From: zhangwei(Jovi)
Date: Tue Apr 09 2013 - 23:27:48 EST
From: "zhangwei(Jovi)" <jovi.zhangwei@xxxxxxxxxx>
Currently event tracing only can be use for ftrace and perf,
there don't have any mechanism to let modules(like external tracing tool)
register callback tracing function.
Event tracing implement based on tracepoint, compare with raw tracepoint,
event tracing infrastructure provide built-in structured event annotate format,
this feature should expose to external user.
For example, simple pseudo ktap script demonstrate how to use this event
tracing expose change.
function event_trace(e)
{
printf("%s", e.annotate);
}
os.trace("sched:sched_switch", event_trace);
os.trace("irq:softirq_raise", event_trace);
The running result:
sched_switch: prev_comm=rcu_sched prev_pid=10 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
softirq_raise: vec=1 [action=TIMER]
...
This expose change can be use by other tracing tool, like systemtap/lttng,
if they would implement this.
This patch introduce struct event_trace_ops in trace_array, it have
two callback functions, pre_trace and do_trace.
when ftrace_raw_event_<call> function hit, it will call all
registered event_trace_ops.
the benefit of this change is kernel size shrink ~18K
(the kernel size will reduce more when perf tracing code
converting to use this mechanism in future)
