Hi Steve and Daniel,
Following our discussion last week about more parseable hist trigger
output, I started trying to implement the 'csv' output you had
mentioned, but realized that since it was more than just table output
that was needed, JSON would be a better fit, so implemented that in
this patch instead.
I designed it so that more files/formats could be easily added as
desired, so if you still want the csv output, let me know. If so,
though, please give me some more detailed idea as to what you think
that should look like.
Here are some examples of the JSON output for various histograms:
A simple straighforward histogram:
# echo 'hist:key=id.syscall,common_pid.execname:val=hitcount:sort=id,hitcount' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/hist_json

Add a file named hist_json for each trace event. Reading it will dump
the contents of all current histogram(s) defined on the event in json
format.
The file contents include not only the histogram bucket contents but
also related data associated with the histogram such as histogram
info, totals, and the values of any action variables that may be
associated with it.
If there are multiple histograms associated with an event, each
histogram is dumped in its entirety before the next starts.
The same functions that print the histogram to the 'hist' file are
used to print the 'hist_json' contents. Other formats can easily be
added by adding a new show_format in addition to the TEXT and JSON
formats implemented here.

Thanks Tom!
BTW, I have off tomorrow, so I wont be looking at this until next week.
Although, tomorrow I'll probably spend my "free" time finishing up
slides that were due two weeks ago :-/

This seems really good feature! BTW, what about adding an tracing
option to switch the hist output format?
e.g.
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/options/hist-json
This will no need to add additional pseudo file but just add an option to
the ftrace.
Thank you,

My only worry about this approach is that it affects all events in the

than to bloat the directories with yet-another-file.
Yeah, make it an option.
Thanks!
