[PATCH v2 7/7] tracing: Add hist trigger onchange() handler
From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Mon Jul 02 2018 - 16:22:55 EST
From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add support for a hist:onchange($var) handler, similar to the onmax()
handler but triggering whenever there's any change in $var, not just a
max.

+ - onchange(var).save(field,.. .)
+
+ The 'onchange(var).save(field,...)' hist trigger action is invoked
+ whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
+ changes.
+
+ The end result is that the trace event fields specified as the
+ onchange.save() params will be saved if 'var' changes for that
+ hist trigger entry. This allows context from the event that
+ changed the value to be saved for later reference. When the
+ histogram is displayed, additional fields displaying the saved
+ values will be printed.
+
+ - onchange(var).snapshot()
+
+ The 'onchange(var).snapshot()' hist trigger action is invoked
+ whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
+ changes.
+
+ The end result is that a global snapshot of the trace buffer will
+ be saved in the tracing/snapshot file if 'var' changes for any
+ hist trigger entry.
+
+ Note that in this case the changed value is a global variable
+ associated withe current trace instance. The key of the specific
+ trace event that caused the value to change and the global value
+ itself are displayed, along with a message stating that a snapshot
+ has been taken and where to find it. The user can use the key
+ information displayed to locate the corresponding bucket in the
+ histogram for even more detail.
+
+ As an example the below defines a hist trigger on the tcp_probe
+ event, keyed on dport. Whenever a tcp_probe event occurs, the
+ cwnd field is checked against the current value stored in the
+ $cwnd variable. If the value has changed, a snapshot is taken.
+ As part of the setup, all the scheduler and tcp events are also
+ enabled, which are the events that will show up in the snapshot
+ when it is taken at some point:
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/enable
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=dport:cwnd=snd_cwnd: \
+ onchange($cwnd).save(snd_wnd,srtt,rcv_wnd): \
+ onchange($cwnd).snapshot()' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_probe/trigger
+
+ When the histogram is displayed, for each bucket the tracked value
+ and the saved values corresponding to that value are displayed
+ following the rest of the fields.
+
+ If a snaphot was taken, there is also a message indicating that,
+ along with the value and event that triggered the snapshot:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_probe/hist
+ { dport: 1521 } hitcount: 8
+ changed: 10 snd_wnd: 35456 srtt: 154262 rcv_wnd: 42112
+
+ { dport: 80 } hitcount: 23
+ changed: 10 snd_wnd: 28960 srtt: 19604 rcv_wnd: 29312
+
+ { dport: 9001 } hitcount: 172
+ changed: 10 snd_wnd: 48384 srtt: 260444 rcv_wnd: 55168
+
+ { dport: 443 } hitcount: 211
+ changed: 10 snd_wnd: 26960 srtt: 17379 rcv_wnd: 28800
+
+ Snapshot taken (see tracing/snapshot). Details:
+ triggering value { onchange($cwnd) }: 10
+ triggered by event with key: { dport: 80 }
+
+ Totals:
+ Hits: 414
+ Entries: 4
+ Dropped: 0
+
+ In the above case, the event that triggered the snapshot has the
+ key with dport == 80. If you look at the bucket that has 80 as
+ the key, you'll find the additional values save()'d along with the
+ changed value for that bucket, which should be the same as the
+ global changed value (since that was the same value that triggered
+ the global snapshot).
+
+ And finally, looking at the snapshot data should show at or near
+ the end the event that triggered the snapshot:
