[PATCH v6 1/3] tracing/hist: Add poll(POLLIN) support on hist file
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Wed Oct 16 2024 - 06:50:05 EST
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add poll syscall support on the `hist` file. The Waiter will be waken
up when the histogram is updated with POLLIN.
Currently, there is no way to wait for a specific event in userspace.
So user needs to peek the `trace` periodicaly, or wait on `trace_pipe`.
But that is not good idea to peek the `trace` for the event randomely
happens. And `trace_pipe` is not coming back until a page is filled
with events.
This allows user to wait for a specific events on `hist` file. User
can set a histogram trigger on the event which they want to monitor.
And poll() on its `hist` file. Since this poll() returns POLLIN,
the next poll() will return soon unless you do read() on hist file.
NOTE: To read the hist file again, you must set the file offset to 0,
but just for monitoring the event, you may not need to read the
histogram.
