      tracing/events: Move TRACE_SYSTEM outside of include guard · d0b6e04a
      Li Zefan authored 
      

If TRACE_INCLDUE_FILE is defined, <trace/events/TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.h>
will be included and compiled, otherwise it will be
<trace/events/TRACE_SYSTEM.h>

So TRACE_SYSTEM should be defined outside of #if proctection,
just like TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.

Imaging this scenario:

 #include <trace/events/foo.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == foo
 ...
 #include <trace/events/bar.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == bar
 ...
 #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
 #include <trace/events/foo.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == bar !!!

and then bar.h will be included and compiled.

      tracing: update sample with TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE · 71e1c8ac
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      

When creating trace events for ftrace, the header file with the TRACE_EVENT
macros must also have a macro called TRACE_SYSTEM. This macro describes
the name of the system the TRACE_EVENTS are defined for. It also doubles
as a way for the define_trace.h file to include the file that included
it.

For example:

in irq.h

 #define TRACE_SYSTEM irq

[...]

 #include <trace/define_trace.h>

The define_trace will use TRACE_SYSTEM to include irq.h. But if the name
of the trace system does not match the name of the trace header file,
one can override it with:

Which will change define_trace.h to inclued foo_trace.h instead of foo.h

The sample comments this, but people that use the sample code will more
likely use the code and not read the comments. This patch changes the
sample code to use the TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE to better show developers how to
use it.

[ Impact: make sample less confusing to developers ]

      Linux Kernel Markers: support multiple probes · fb40bd78
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored 
      

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers.  Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.

- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.

Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.

Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.

- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
  armed.

Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.

This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".

If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.

It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :

Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.
