[RFC Patch Ust 1/5] Update data structures to support CTF global structures

[RFC Patch Ust 1/5] Update data structures to support CTF global structures

[Geneviève Bastien]

The structures match those in LTTng-tools to support global structures.

The struct lttng_structure contains the global types required by the
structure, but not ustctl_structure because global types will be flattened
in the event description when serializing.

[RFC Patch Ust 2/5] Serialize the CTF global structures for ust-comm

[Geneviève Bastien]

It flatten the global types so that global types used by other global types
all belong to the event at serialization. This avoids recursive calls to the
send and receive functions and simplifies error handling (no recursive frees).

[RFC Patch Ust 3/5] Add the macros to generate the data structures for CTF global structures

[Geneviève Bastien]

The structure global type is very similar to an event, and thus reuse most of
the macros for the event fields.

why 368 bytes of padding ? What's so large that we could have to
add to this structure ?

Moreover, my other worry is the "const char *" we're adding for
enums and structures. I'm concerned that when we eventually choose
to dynamically allocate those (when we support dynamic probes), we
will have to do ugly cast to remove the "const".

Thoughts ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

It's USTCTL_UST_GLOBAL_TYPE_DECL_PADDING (640) minus the size of the 
content of this structure. Could be smaller though if it is not always 
used inside the ustctl_global_type_decl. But it leaves enough space for 
at least another string if need be (but I don't know why we would need 
that for structures).

No, I have no idea what to do with that piece of information... Sorry 
that's my limited knowledge of C. I've just seen const char * in many 
other places of the ust-events.h structures and did the same.

OK, it makes sense.

I just tried moving the "const char *" to "char *", and the compiler
complains. So let's continue using "const char *" in there, and we'll
cast to "char *" whenever we eventually allocate those structures
dynamically and need to free them. Allocating those objects in an object
stack could also do the trick.

flatten -> flattens

Is the structure and enum part of the event, or declared outside of
the event scope ?

Is there a downside to this approach ? For instance, if the same
structure is used in many events, do we have to send the structure info
many times ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

They are named structures so declared outside the scope of the event. 
But they are sent only if one event needs them.

Sending each structure (and enum) once would be enough, we could keep a 
hash table of global types that were sent, like we do before dumping the 
metadata of those global types, and that would avoid sending them many 
times. But it is not what is being done right now. We just send all the 
global types, but they are added to the metadata only once.

Repeating the integers, strings, etc on the "wire" (unix socket) for
every field between UST and sessiond was not so bad, since they were
small enough descriptions.

However, I figure that enumerations, structures and variant types will
grow to be much larger than their basic types counterparts.

Therefore, sending the global type separately, and then sending a
reference to that type (a string) when encountering the event field
using this global type seems like a more scalable solution to me.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Just to be clear. Your comment is about the number of times a global 
type is sent across the wire, not the way it is sent in the current 
implementation (an event is followed by the global types it uses)? So 
that event1 which uses struct1 will have 1 global type following it and 
later on, when event2 using also struct1 is sent, then it will have 0 
global types, right?

I'll see what I can do, probably something similar to what is done for 
the events.

Yes, all this is about not repeating global type descriptions over the
unix socket between applications and session daemon.

The issue here is that with the current approach, we have to repeat
possibly very long descriptions of structures, variants, and enums
because they need to be bundled after every event description.

Here is what I would envision instead:

- We add a "global type" notifier to the UST notfiers (there is currently
  only "event" and "channel"). Those notifier are sending the descriptions
  of channels and events as seen from within the application to
  lttng-sessiond, so it can put it in its ust registry to later generate
  the metadata,
- Those notifiers can be used to send descriptions of enums, structs, and
  variants,
- We'll probably want to have some way of verifying if the global
  type is exactly the same as global types with the same provider and
  global type names registered previously, thus dealing with different
  provider .so versions, each containing different versions of the global
  type. We'll have to find out what's the behavior when this check does
  not succeed (failure or versioning of the global type within sessiond ?).
  This verification will be needed once per global type, per application
  process. This verification needs to be done by sending the provider and
  global type name, along with the global type details (to see if it
  matches).
- Per global type, per application, we can keep a flag that knows whether
  the global type description has been successfully sent to the session
  daemon for each session.
