Setting the hist_elt_data.field_var_str[] array unconditionally to a size of SYNTH_FIELD_MAX elements wastes space unnecessarily. The actual number of elements needed can be calculated at run-time instead. In most cases, this will save a lot of space since it's a per-elt array which isn't normally close to being full. It also allows us to increase SYNTH_FIELD_MAX without worrying about even more wastage when we do that.

The function `xbc_show_list should` handle the keys during the composition. Even the errors returned by the compose function. Instead of removing the `ret` variable, it should save the value and show the exact error. This missing variable is causing a compilation issue also.

migrate_disable() forbids task migration to another CPU. It is available since v5.11 and has already users such as highmem or BPF. It is useful to observe this task state in tracing which already has other states like the preemption counter. Instead of adding the migrate disable counter as a new entry to struct trace_entry, which would extend the whole struct by four bytes, it is squashed into the preempt-disable counter. The lower four bits represent the preemption counter, the upper four bits represent the migrate disable counter. Both counter shouldn't exceed 15 but if they do, there is a safety net which caps the value at 15. Add the migrate-disable counter to the trace entry so it shows up in the trace. Due to the users mentioned above, it is already possible to observe it: | bash-1108 [000] ...21 73.950578: rss_stat: mm_id=2213312838 curr=0 type=MM_ANONPAGES size=8192B | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: irq_disable: caller=flush_tlb_mm_range+0x115/0x130 parent=ptep_clear_flush+0x42/0x50 | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: tlb_flush: pages:1 reason:local mm shootdown (3) The last value is the migrate-disable counter. Things that popped up: - trace_print_lat_context() does not print the migrate counter. Not sure if it should. It is used in "verbose" mode and uses 8 digits and I'm not sure ther is something processing the value. - trace_define_common_fields() now defines a different variable. This probably breaks things. No ide what to do in order to preserve the old behaviour. Since this is used as a filter it should be split somehow to be able to match both nibbles here.

A new dynamic event is introduced: event probe. The event is attached to an existing tracepoint and uses its fields as arguments. The user can specify custom format string of the new event, select what tracepoint arguments will be printed and how to print them. An event probe is created by writing configuration string in 'dynamic_events' ftrace file: e[:[SNAME/]ENAME] SYSTEM/EVENT [FETCHARGS] - Set an event probe -:SNAME/ENAME - Delete an event probe Where: SNAME - System name, if omitted 'eprobes' is used. ENAME - Name of the new event in SNAME, if omitted the SYSTEM_EVENT is used. SYSTEM - Name of the system, where the tracepoint is defined, mandatory. EVENT - Name of the tracepoint event in SYSTEM, mandatory. FETCHARGS - Arguments: <name>=$<field>[:TYPE] - Fetch given filed of the tracepoint and print it as given TYPE with given name. Supported types are: (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), basic type (x8/x16/x32/x64), hexadecimal types "string", "ustring" and bitfield. Example, attach an event probe on openat system call and print name of the file that will be opened: echo "e:esys/eopen syscalls/sys_enter_openat file=\$filename:string" >> dynamic_events A new dynamic event is created in events/esys/eopen/ directory. It can be deleted with: echo "-:esys/eopen" >> dynamic_events Filters, triggers and histograms can be attached to the new event, it can be matched in synthetic events. There is one limitation - an event probe can not be attached to kprobe, uprobe or another event probe.

Since kprobe_events and uprobe_events only check whether the other same-type probe event has the same name or not, if the user gives the same name of the existing tracepoint event (or the other type of probe events), it silently fails to create the tracefs entry (but registered.) as below. /sys/kernel/tracing # ls events/task/task_rename enable filter format hist id trigger /sys/kernel/tracing # echo p:task/task_rename vfs_read >> kprobe_events [ 113.048508] Could not create tracefs 'task_rename' directory /sys/kernel/tracing # cat kprobe_events p:task/task_rename vfs_read To fix this issue, check whether the existing events have the same name or not in trace_probe_register_event_call(). If exists, it rejects to register the new event. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/162936876189.187130.17558311387542061930.stgit@devnote2Signed-off-by:

In preparation to allow event probes to use the process_fetch_insn() callback in trace_probe_tmpl.h, change the data passed to it from a pointer to pt_regs, as the event probe will not be using regs, and make it a void pointer instead. Update the process_fetch_insn() callers for kprobe and uprobe events to have the regs defined in the function and just typecast the void pointer parameter.

Instead of a boolean "is_return" have traceprobe_set_print_fmt() take a type (currently just PROBE_PRINT_NORMAL and PROBE_PRINT_RETURN). This will simplify adding different types. For example, the development of the event_probe, will need its own type as it prints an event, and not an IP. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210819041842.104626301@goodmis.orgAcked-by:

Kprobe and uprobe events can add a "system" to the events that are created via the kprobe_events and uprobe_events files respectively. If they do not include a "system" in the name, then the default "kprobes" or "uprobes" is used. The current notation to specify a system for one of these probe events is to add a '/' delimiter in the name, where the content before the '/' will be the system to use, and the content after will be the event name. echo 'p:my_system/my_event' > kprobe_events But this is inconsistent with the way histogram triggers separate their system / event names. The histogram triggers use a '.' delimiter, which can be confusing. To allow this to be more consistent, as well as keep backward compatibility, allow the kprobe and uprobe events to denote a system name with either a '/' or a '.'. That is: echo 'p:my_system/my_event' > kprobe_events is equivalent to: echo 'p:my_system.my_event' > kprobe_events Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20210813004448.51c7de69ce432d338f4d226b@kernel.org/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210817035027.580493202@goodmis.orgSuggested-by:

The two places that call traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() allocate a temporary buffer to copy the argv[i] into, because argv[i] is constant and the traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() will modify it to do the parsing. These two places allocate this buffer and then free it right after calling this function, leaving the onus of this allocation to the caller. As there's about to be a third user of this function that will have to do the same thing, instead of having the caller allocate the temporary buffer, simply move that allocation into the traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() itself, which will simplify the code of the callers.

As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep the dynamic event from going away. Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure, make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

To differentiate between static and dynamic events, add a new flag DYNAMIC to the event flags that all dynamic events have set. This will allow to differentiate when attaching to a dynamic event from a static event. Static events have a mod pointer that references the module they were created in (or NULL for core kernel). This can be incremented when the event has something attached to it. But there exists no such mechanism for dynamic events. This is dangerous as the dynamic events may now disappear without the "attachment" knowing that it no longer exists. To enforce the dynamic flag, change dyn_event_add() to pass the event that is being created such that it can set the DYNAMIC flag of the event. This helps make sure that no location that creates a dynamic event misses setting this flag.

Support multiple handlers for per-event histogram in boot-time tracing. Since the histogram can register multiple same handler-actions with different parameters, this expands the syntax to support such cases. With this update, the 'onmax', 'onchange' and 'onmatch' handler subkeys under per-event histogram option will take a number subkeys optionally as below. (see [.N]) ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]event.GROUP.EVENT.hist { onmax|onchange[.N] { var = <VAR>; <ACTION> [= <PARAM>] } onmatch[.N] { event = <EVENT>; <ACTION> [= <PARAM>] } } The 'N' must be a digit (or digit started word). Thus user can add several handler-actions to the histogram, for example, ftrace.event.SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT.hist { keys = SOME_ID; lat = common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 onmatch.1 { event = GROUP1.STARTEVENT1 trace = latency_event, SOME_ID, $lat } onmatch.2 { event = GROUP2.STARTEVENT2 trace = latency_event, SOME_ID, $lat } } Then, it can trace the elapsed time from GROUP1.STARTEVENT1 to SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT, and from GROUP2.STARTEVENT2 to SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT with SOME_ID key.
