Sample: Trace_event: Correct the comments

2015-11-02T19:09:15+00:00

The commit 889204278ccf ("tracing: Update trace-event-sample with
TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR documentation") changed TRACE_SYSTEM to 'sample-trace',
but didn't make the according change of its name in the comments.

tracing: Fix sample output of dynamic arrays

2015-07-17T18:15:13+00:00

He Kuang noticed that the trace event samples for arrays was broken:

"The output result of trace_foo_bar event in traceevent samples is
 wrong. This problem can be reproduced as following:

  (Build kernel with SAMPLE_TRACE_EVENTS=m)

  $ insmod trace-events-sample.ko

  $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/foo_bar/enable

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

  event-sample-980 [000] ....  43.649559: foo_bar: foo hello 21 0x15
  BIT1|BIT3|0x10 {0x1,0x6f6f6e53,0xff007970,0xffffffff} Snoopy
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                 The array length is not right, should be {0x1}.
  (ffffffff,ffffffff)

  event-sample-980 [000] ....  44.653827: foo_bar: foo hello 22 0x16
  BIT2|BIT3|0x10
  {0x1,0x2,0x646e6147,0x666c61,0xffffffff,0xffffffff,0x750aeffe,0x7}
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                 The array length is not right, should be {0x1,0x2}.
  Gandalf (ffffffff,ffffffff)"

This was caused by an update to have __print_array()'s second parameter
be the count of items in the array and not the size of the array.

As there is already users of __print_array(), it can not change. But
the sample code can and we can also improve on the documentation about
__print_array() and __get_dynamic_array_len().

tracing/samples: Update the trace-event-sample.h with TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM()

2015-04-08T13:39:58+00:00

Document the use of TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() by adding enums to the
trace-event-sample.h and using this macro to convert them in the format
files.

Also update the comments and sho the use of __print_symbolic() and
__print_flags() as well as adding comments abount __print_array().

tracing: Update trace-event-sample with TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR documentation

2015-04-08T13:39:55+00:00

Add documentation about TRACE_SYSTEM needing to be alpha-numeric or with
underscores, and that if it is not, then the use of TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR is
required to make something that is.

An example of this is shown in samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.h

tracing: Add samples of DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT()

2015-02-09T23:05:51+00:00

Add to samples/trace_events/ the macros DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and
DEFINE_EVENT() and recommend using them over multiple TRACE_EVENT()
macros if the multiple events have the same format.

tracing: Add TRACE_EVENT_FN example

2015-02-09T23:05:39+00:00

If a function should be called before a tracepoint is enabled
and/or after it is disabled, the TRACE_EVENT_FN() serves this
purpose. But it is not well documented. Having it as a sample would
help developers to know how to use it.

tracing: Add TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION sample

2015-02-09T21:05:55+00:00

The sample code lacks an example of TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION, and it
has been expressed to me that this feature for TRACE_EVENT is not
well known and not used when it could be.

tracing: Update the TRACE_EVENT fields available in the sample code

2015-02-09T20:27:04+00:00

The sample code in samples/trace_events/ is extremely out of date and does
not show all the new fields that have been added since the sample code
was written. As most people are unaware of these new fields, adding sample
code and explanations of those fields should help out.

tracing: Change trace event sample to use strlcpy instead of strncpy

2014-07-01T11:13:33+00:00

Strings should be copied with strlcpy instead of strncpy when they will
later be printed via %s. This guarantees that they terminate with a
NUL '\0' character and do not run pass the end of the allocated string.

This is only for sample code, but it should stil represent a good
role model.

tracing: Add __field_struct macro for TRACE_EVENT()

2014-06-21T04:18:42+00:00

Currently the __field() macro in TRACE_EVENT is only good for primitive
values, such as integers and pointers, but it fails on complex data types
such as structures or unions. This is because the __field() macro
determines if the variable is signed or not with the test of:

  (((type)(-1)) < (type)1)

Unfortunately, that fails when type is a structure.

Since trace events should support structures as fields a new macro
is created for such a case called __field_struct() which acts exactly
the same as __field() does but it does not do the signed type check
and just uses a constant false for that answer.
