A few people have asked for this in the past, and I finally got around
to implementing it. What this does is to allow writes into trace_marker
to initiate a trigger.
The trace_marker event is described in:
tracefs/events/ftrace/print
Thus the trigger file is added there:
tracefs/events/ftrace/print/trigger
As there's already a "hist" file there, everything appears to work
just like any other trigger to an event. See the last patch for
documentation on how to use the triggers to a trace_marker write.
By the way, the patch:
tracing: Prevent further users of zero size static arrays in trace events
May prevent your kernel from building if you include Xen. You will need
to add this patch to make it work.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) (14):
tracing: Do not reference event data in post call triggers
tracing: Add __find_event_file() to find event files without restrictions
tracing: Have event_trace_init() called by trace_init_tracefs()

----
Changes since v1:
- Fixed comment about length (Masami Hiramatsu)

If it has been called after the commit, there's a possibility that the event no longer exists. Currently, the two post callers is the trigger to disable tracing (traceoff) and the one that will record a stack dump (stacktrace). Neither of them reference the trace event entry record, as that would lead to a race condition that could pass in corrupted data. To prevent any other users of the post data triggers from using the trace event record, pass in NULL to the post call trigger functions for the event record, as they should never need to use them in the first place. This does not fix any bug, but prevents bugs from happening by new post call trigger users.

I thought about doing this too. But when I had to manually create the trigger file, I'll have to also manually create the hist file. As the hist file is read only and rather harmless, I figured I'd just leave it as is. The filter file is a command file and this patch wants to remove the confusion of writing into the file and having no effect. -- Steve ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 30+ messages in thread

This will allow of user space to trigger the same type of triggers (including histograms) that the trace events use. Had to create a ftrace_event_register() function that will become the trace_marker print event's reg() function. This is required because of how triggers are enabled: event_trigger_write() { event_trigger_regex_write() { trigger_process_regex() { for p in trigger_commands { p->func(); /* trigger_snapshot_cmd->func */ event_trigger_callback() { cmd_ops->reg() /* register_trigger() */ { trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() { trace_event_enable_disable() { call->class->reg(); Without the reg() function, the trigger code will call a NULL pointer and crash the system.

278 + Dropped: 0 + +Note, the writes are around the sleep, so ideally they will all be of 250 +microseconds. If you are wondering how there are several that are under +250 microseconds, that is because the way cyclictest works, is if one +iteration comes in late, the next one will set the timer to wake up less that +250. That is, if an iteration came in 50 microseconds late, the next wake up +will be at 200 microseconds. + +But this could easily be done in userspace. To make this even more +interesting, we can mix the histogram between events that happened in the +kernel with trace_marker. + + # cd /sys/kernel/tracing + # echo 'latency u64 lat' > synthetic_events + # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger + # echo '!hist:keys=common_pid:vals=hitcount:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:sort=hitcount:size=2048:clock=global:onmatch(sched.sched_switch).latency($lat) if buf == "end"' > events/ftrace/print/trigger + # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).latency($lat) if buf == "end"' > events/ftrace/print/trigger + # echo 'hist:keys=lat,common_pid:sort=lat' > events/synthetic/latency/trigger + +The difference this time is that instead of using the trace_marker to start +the latency, the sched_waking event is used, matching the common_pid for the +trace_marker write with the pid that is being worken by sched_waking. + +After running cyclictest again with the same parameters, we now have: + + # cat events/synthetic/latency/hist +# event

I wonder if I should break this into two patches then. One for the actions before attached, and one for synthetic events? Hmm, maybe not. As it can handle not having synthetic events, it should be OK to let the update go to a time when they were not there.

I think the latest test-set can be run on the any stable kernel, and this correctly checks existence of the knob, so you don't need to split it.
