[PATCH v2 6/7] tracing: Add snapshot action
From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Mon Jul 02 2018 - 16:23:25 EST
From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add support for hist:handlerXXX($var).snapshot(), which will take a
snapshot of the current trace buffer whenever handlerXXX is hit.
As a first user, this also adds snapshot() action support for the
onmax() handler i.e. hist:onmax($var).snapshot().

+ - onmax(var).snapshot()
+
+ The 'onmax(var).snapshot()' hist trigger action is invoked
+ whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
+ exceeds the current maximum contained in that variable.
+
+ The end result is that a global snapshot of the trace buffer will
+ be saved in the tracing/snapshot file if 'var' exceeds the current
+ maximum for any hist trigger entry.
+
+ Note that in this case the maximum is a global maximum for the
+ current trace instance, which is the maximum across all buckets of
+ the histogram. The key of the specific trace event that caused
+ the global maximum and the global maximum 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 couple of hist triggers, one for
+ sched_waking and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid. Whenever
+ a sched_waking event occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry
+ corresponding to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches
+ back to that pid, the timestamp difference is calculated. If the
+ resulting latency, stored in wakeup_lat, exceeds the current
+ maximum latency, a snapshot is taken. As part of the setup, all
+ the scheduler 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 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \
+ if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0: \
+ onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_prio,next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio, \
+ prev_comm):onmax($wakeup_lat).snapshot() \
+ if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
+
+ When the histogram is displayed, for each bucket the max value
+ and the saved values corresponding to the max are displayed
+ following the rest of the fields.
+
+ If a snaphot was taken, there is also a message indicating that,
+ along with the value and event that triggered the global maximum:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist
+ { next_pid: 2101 } hitcount: 200
+ max: 52 next_prio: 120 next_comm: cyclictest \
+ prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/6
+
+ { next_pid: 2103 } hitcount: 1326
+ max: 572 next_prio: 19 next_comm: cyclictest \
+ prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/1
+
+ { next_pid: 2102 } hitcount: 1982 \
+ max: 74 next_prio: 19 next_comm: cyclictest \
+ prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/5
+
+ Snapshot taken (see tracing/snapshot). Details:
+ triggering value { onmax($wakeup_lat) }: 572 \
+ triggered by event with key: { next_pid: 2103 }
+
+ Totals:
+ Hits: 3508
+ Entries: 3
+ Dropped: 0
+
+ In the above case, the event that triggered the global maximum has
+ the key with next_pid == 2103. If you look at the bucket that has
+ 2103 as the key, you'll find the additional values save()'d along
+ with the local maximum for that bucket, which should be the same
+ as the global maximum (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 (in this case you
+ can verify the timestamps between the sched_waking and
+ sched_switch events, which should match the time displayed in the
+ global maximum):
