2020-10-15tracing: support "bool" type in synthetic trace eventsAxel Rasmussen
It's common [1] to define tracepoint fields as "bool" when they contain a true / false value. Currently, defining a synthetic event with a "bool" field yields EINVAL. It's possible to work around this by using e.g. u8 (assuming sizeof(bool) is 1, and bool is unsigned; if either of these properties don't match, you get EINVAL [2]). Supporting "bool" explicitly makes hooking this up easier and more portable for userspace.

2020-10-15tracing: Handle synthetic event array field type checking correctlyTom Zanussi
Since synthetic event array types are derived from the field name, there may be a semicolon at the end of the type which should be stripped off. If there are more characters following that, normal type string checking will result in an invalid type. Without this patch, you can end up with an invalid field type string that gets displayed in both the synthetic event description and the event format: Before: # echo 'myevent char str[16]; int v' >> synthetic_events # cat synthetic_events myevent char[16]; str; int v name: myevent ID: 1936 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:char str[16];; offset:8; size:16; signed:1; field:int v; offset:40; size:4; signed:1; print fmt: "str=%s, v=%d", REC->str, REC->v After: # echo 'myevent char str[16]; int v' >> synthetic_events # cat synthetic_events myevent char[16] str; int v # cat events/synthetic/myevent/format name: myevent ID: 1936 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:char str[16]; offset:8; size:16; signed:1; field:int v; offset:40; size:4; signed:1; print fmt: "str=%s, v=%d", REC->str, REC->v Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/6587663b56c2d45ab9d8c8472a2110713cdec97d.1602598160.git.zanussi@kernel.org [ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: wrote parse_synth_field() snippet. ] Fixes: 4b147936fa50 (tracing: Add support for 'synthetic' events) Reported-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Tested-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2020-10-15tracing: Don't show dynamic string internals in synthetic event descriptionTom Zanussi
For synthetic event dynamic fields, the type contains "__data_loc", which is basically an internal part of the type which is only meant to be displayed in the format, not in the event description itself, which is confusing to users since they can't use __data_loc on the command-line to define an event field, which printing it would lead them to believe. So filter it out from the description, while leaving it in the type.

2020-10-05tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic eventsTom Zanussi
Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as: # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event. It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to synthetic events via the trace() action. With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined: # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either dynamic or static strings: # echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file. [ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes: I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be parsed correctly. ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1601588066.git.zanussi@kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/3ed35b6d0e390f5b94cb4a9ba1cc18f5982ab277.1601848695.git.zanussi@kernel.org Tested-by: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2020-10-05tracing: Fix parse_synth_field() error handlingTom Zanussi
synth_field_size() returns either a positive size or an error (zero or a negative value). However, the existing code assumes the only error value is 0. It doesn't handle negative error codes, as it assigns directly to field->size (a size_t; unsigned), thereby interpreting the error code as a valid size instead. Do the test before assignment to field->size.

Initialize boot-time tracing in core_initcall_sync instead of fs_initcall, and initialize required tracers (kprobes and synth) in core_initcall.

2020-06-01tracing: Move synthetic events to a separate fileTom Zanussi
With the addition of the in-kernel synthetic event API, synthetic events are no longer specifically tied to the histogram triggers. The synthetic event code is also making trace_event_hist.c very bloated, so for those reasons, move it to a separate file, trace_events_synth.c, along with a new trace_synth.h header file. Because synthetic events are now independent from hist triggers, add a new CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENTS config option, and have CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS select it, and have CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST depend on it.
