Subject: [PoC PATCH v2 00/21] Add trace file compression
Date: Mon, 10 May 2021 09:16:15 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210510061636.1794357-1-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com> (raw)
A new PoC implementation, adding a compression to trace file.
A basic infrastructure for compression support is added into the trace-cmd
library. The zlib is used for compression, but more libraries and algorithms
can be added. Only part of the trace file metadata is compressed:
- ftrace events format
- format of recorded events
- information about the mapping of function addresses to the function names
- trace_printk() format strings
- information of the mapping a PID to a process name
- options
Note: not all trace-cmd commands are tested with these changes. These are
verified to work with compressed trace files:
trace-cmd record
trace-cmd report
trace-cmd dump
trace-cmd agent
Todo list, in order to have complete trace file compression:
- Compress trace data.
- Add support for more compression libraries.
- Add new trace-cmd command to convert trace files from version 6 to
version 7 and vise versa.
- Test all trace-cmd commands with trace file v7.
- Update trace-cmd documentation.
v2 changes:
- Refactored compression APIs.
- Moved the trace buffers description out of the trace options section.
- Added compression of "options" section of the trace file.
- Updated "trace-cmd list" to show available compression algorithms.
- Tested with host-guest tracing.
- Merged with the patchset that bumps the trace file version.
