[RFC][PATCH] vhost/vsock: Add vsock_list file to map cid with vhost tasks

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed May 05 2021 - 16:39:14 EST


The new trace-cmd 3.0 (which is almost ready to be released) allows for
tracing between host and guests with timestamp synchronization such that
the events on the host and the guest can be interleaved in the proper order
that they occur. KernelShark now has a plugin that visualizes this
interaction.

The implementation requires that the guest has a vsock CID assigned, and on
the guest a "trace-cmd agent" is running, that will listen on a port for
the CID. The on the host a "trace-cmd record -A guest@cid:port -e events"
can be called and the host will connect to the guest agent through the
cid/port pair and have the agent enable tracing on behalf of the host and
send the trace data back down to it.

The problem is that there is no sure fire way to find the CID for a guest.
Currently, the user must know the cid, or we have a hack that looks for the
qemu process and parses the --guest-cid parameter from it. But this is
prone to error and does not work on other implementation (was told that
crosvm does not use qemu).

As I can not find a way to discover CIDs assigned to guests via any kernel
interface, I decided to create this one. Note, I'm not attached to it. If
there's a better way to do this, I would love to have it. But since I'm not
an expert in the networking layer nor virtio, I decided to stick to what I
know and add a debugfs interface that simply lists all the registered CIDs
and the worker task that they are associated with. The worker task at
least has the PID of the task it represents.

Now I can find the cid / host process in charge of the guest pair:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/vsock_list

This is just an example of what I'm looking for. Just a way to find what
process is using what cid.
