From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
The hist trigger action code currently implements two essentially
hard-coded pairs of 'actions' - onmax(), which tracks a variable and
saves some event fields when a max is hit, and onmatch(), which is
hard-coded to generate a synthetic event.
These hardcoded pairs (track max/save fields and detect match/generate
synthetic event) should really be decoupled into separate components
that can then be arbitrarily combined. The first component of each
pair (track max/detect match) is called a 'handler' in the new code,
while the second component (save fields/generate synthetic event) is
called an 'action' in this scheme.
This change refactors the action code to reflect this split by adding
two handlers, HANDLER_ONMATCH and HANDLER_ONMAX, along with two
actions, ACTION_SAVE and ACTION_TRACE.
The new code combines them to produce the existing ONMATCH/TRACE and
ONMAX/SAVE functionality, but doesn't implement the other combinations
now possible. Future patches will expand these to further useful
cases, such as ONMAX/TRACE, as well as add additional handlers and
actions such as ONCHANGE and SNAPSHOT.

Currently, the onmatch action data binds the onmatch action to data
related to synthetic event generation. Since we want to allow the
onmatch handler to potentially invoke a different action, and because
we expect other handlers to generate synthetic events, we need to
separate the data related to these two functions.
Also rename the onmatch data to something more descriptive, and create
and use common action data destroy function.

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
The action refactor code allowed actions and handlers to be separated,
but the existing onmax handler and save action code is still not
flexible enough to handle arbitrary coupling. This change generalizes
them and in the process makes additional handlers and actions easier
to implement.
The onmax action can be broken up and thought of as two separate
components - a variable to be tracked (the parameter given to the
onmax($var_to_track) function) and an invisible variable created to
save the ongoing result of doing something with that variable, such as
saving the max value of that variable so far seen.
Separating it out like this and renaming it appropriately allows us to
use the same code for similar tracking functions such as
onchange($var_to_track), which would just track the last value seen
rather than the max seen so far, which is useful in some situations.
Additionally, because different handlers and actions may want to save
and access data differently e.g. save and retrieve tracking values as
local variables vs something more global, save_val() and get_val()
interface functions are introduced and max-specific implementations
are used instead.
The same goes for the code that checks whether a maximum has been hit
- a generic check_val() interface and max-checking implementation is
used instead, which allows future patches to make use of he same code
using their own implemetations of similar functionality.

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
Currently, tracing snapshots are context-free - they capture the ring
buffer contents at the time the tracing_snapshot() function was
invoked, and nothing else. Additionally, they're always taken
unconditionally - the calling code can decide whether or not to take a
snapshot, but the data used to make that decision is kept separately
from the snapshot itself.
This change adds the ability to associate with each trace instance
some user data, along with an 'update' function that can use that data
to determine whether or not to actually take a snapshot. The update
function can then update that data along with any other state (as part
of the data presumably), if warranted.
Because snapshots are 'global' per-instance, only one user can enable
and use a conditional snapshot for any given trace instance. To
enable a conditional snapshot (see details in the function and data
structure comments), the user calls tracing_snapshot_cond_enable().
Similarly, to disable a conditional snapshot and free it up for other
users, tracing_snapshot_cond_disable() should be called.
To actually initiate a conditional snapshot, tracing_snapshot_cond()
should be called. tracing_snapshot_cond() will invoke the update()
callback, allowing the user to decide whether or not to actually take
the snapshot and update the user-defined data associated with the
snapshot. If the callback returns 'true', tracing_snapshot_cond()
will then actually take the snapshot and return.
This scheme allows for flexibility in snapshot implementations - for
example, by implementing slightly different update() callbacks,
snapshots can be taken in situations where the user is only interested
in taking a snapshot when a new maximum in hit versus when a value
changes in any way at all. Future patches will demonstrate both
cases.

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
Add support for hist:handlerXXX($var).snapshot(), which will take a
snapshot of the current trace buffer whenever handlerXXX is hit.
As a first user, this also adds snapshot() action support for the
onmax() handler i.e. hist:onmax($var).snapshot().

+ - onmax(var).snapshot()
+
+ The 'onmax(var).snapshot()' hist trigger action is invoked
+ whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
+ exceeds the current maximum contained in that variable.
+
+ The end result is that a global snapshot of the trace buffer will
+ be saved in the tracing/snapshot file if 'var' exceeds the current
+ maximum for any hist trigger entry.
+
+ Note that in this case the maximum is a global maximum for the
+ current trace instance, which is the maximum across all buckets of
+ the histogram. The key of the specific trace event that caused
+ the global maximum and the global maximum itself are displayed,
+ along with a message stating that a snapshot has been taken and
+ where to find it. The user can use the key information displayed
+ to locate the corresponding bucket in the histogram for even more
+ detail.
+
+ As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for
+ sched_waking and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid. Whenever
+ a sched_waking event occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry
+ corresponding to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches
+ back to that pid, the timestamp difference is calculated. If the
+ resulting latency, stored in wakeup_lat, exceeds the current
+ maximum latency, a snapshot is taken. As part of the setup, all
+ the scheduler events are also enabled, which are the events that
+ will show up in the snapshot when it is taken at some point:
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \
+ if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0: \
+ onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_prio,next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio, \
+ prev_comm):onmax($wakeup_lat).snapshot() \
+ if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
+
+ When the histogram is displayed, for each bucket the max value
+ and the saved values corresponding to the max are displayed
+ following the rest of the fields.
+
+ If a snaphot was taken, there is also a message indicating that,
+ along with the value and event that triggered the global maximum:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist
+ { next_pid: 2101 } hitcount: 200
+ max: 52 next_prio: 120 next_comm: cyclictest \
+ prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/6
+
+ { next_pid: 2103 } hitcount: 1326
+ max: 572 next_prio: 19 next_comm: cyclictest \
+ prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/1
+
+ { next_pid: 2102 } hitcount: 1982 \
+ max: 74 next_prio: 19 next_comm: cyclictest \
+ prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/5
+
+ Snapshot taken (see tracing/snapshot). Details:
+ triggering value { onmax($wakeup_lat) }: 572 \
+ triggered by event with key: { next_pid: 2103 }
+
+ Totals:
+ Hits: 3508
+ Entries: 3
+ Dropped: 0
+
+ In the above case, the event that triggered the global maximum has
+ the key with next_pid == 2103. If you look at the bucket that has
+ 2103 as the key, you'll find the additional values save()'d along
+ with the local maximum for that bucket, which should be the same
+ as the global maximum (since that was the same value that
+ triggered the global snapshot).
+
+ And finally, looking at the snapshot data should show at or near
+ the end the event that triggered the snapshot (in this case you
+ can verify the timestamps between the sched_waking and
+ sched_switch events, which should match the time displayed in the
+ global maximum):

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
Add support for a hist:onchange($var) handler, similar to the onmax()
handler but triggering whenever there's any change in $var, not just a
max.

+ - onchange(var).save(field,.. .)
+
+ The 'onchange(var).save(field,...)' hist trigger action is invoked
+ whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
+ changes.
+
+ The end result is that the trace event fields specified as the
+ onchange.save() params will be saved if 'var' changes for that
+ hist trigger entry. This allows context from the event that
+ changed the value to be saved for later reference. When the
+ histogram is displayed, additional fields displaying the saved
+ values will be printed.
+
+ - onchange(var).snapshot()
+
+ The 'onchange(var).snapshot()' hist trigger action is invoked
+ whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
+ changes.
+
+ The end result is that a global snapshot of the trace buffer will
+ be saved in the tracing/snapshot file if 'var' changes for any
+ hist trigger entry.
+
+ Note that in this case the changed value is a global variable
+ associated withe current trace instance. The key of the specific
+ trace event that caused the value to change and the global value
+ itself are displayed, along with a message stating that a snapshot
+ has been taken and where to find it. The user can use the key
+ information displayed to locate the corresponding bucket in the
+ histogram for even more detail.
+
+ As an example the below defines a hist trigger on the tcp_probe
+ event, keyed on dport. Whenever a tcp_probe event occurs, the
+ cwnd field is checked against the current value stored in the
+ $cwnd variable. If the value has changed, a snapshot is taken.
+ As part of the setup, all the scheduler and tcp events are also
+ enabled, which are the events that will show up in the snapshot
+ when it is taken at some point:
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/enable
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=dport:cwnd=snd_cwnd: \
+ onchange($cwnd).save(snd_wnd,srtt,rcv_wnd): \
+ onchange($cwnd).snapshot()' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_probe/trigger
+
+ When the histogram is displayed, for each bucket the tracked value
+ and the saved values corresponding to that value are displayed
+ following the rest of the fields.
+
+ If a snaphot was taken, there is also a message indicating that,
+ along with the value and event that triggered the snapshot:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_probe/hist
+ { dport: 1521 } hitcount: 8
+ changed: 10 snd_wnd: 35456 srtt: 154262 rcv_wnd: 42112
+
+ { dport: 80 } hitcount: 23
+ changed: 10 snd_wnd: 28960 srtt: 19604 rcv_wnd: 29312
+
+ { dport: 9001 } hitcount: 172
+ changed: 10 snd_wnd: 48384 srtt: 260444 rcv_wnd: 55168
+
+ { dport: 443 } hitcount: 211
+ changed: 10 snd_wnd: 26960 srtt: 17379 rcv_wnd: 28800
+
+ Snapshot taken (see tracing/snapshot). Details:
+ triggering value { onchange($cwnd) }: 10
+ triggered by event with key: { dport: 80 }
+
+ Totals:
+ Hits: 414
+ Entries: 4
+ Dropped: 0
+
+ In the above case, the event that triggered the snapshot has the
+ key with dport == 80. If you look at the bucket that has 80 as
+ the key, you'll find the additional values save()'d along with the
+ changed value for that bucket, which should be the same as the
+ global changed value (since that was the same value that triggered
+ the global snapshot).
+
+ And finally, looking at the snapshot data should show at or near
+ the end the event that triggered the snapshot:

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to
synthetic_event_name(params).
Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to
invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name
as a function call.
Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the
synthetic event is in effect being traced. In this version, a new
'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in
as the first argument.

Hmm, what is the advantage of adding this new form?

There's no real advantage other than user preference - Namhyung thought
that since the event-name-as-function-call actions are all defined as
ACTION_TRACE, there should also be an explicit 'trace' action.
So I added it as alternative syntax - the event-name-as-function-call
form remains unchanged.
By the way, I also have a patch implementing your alternative syntax
change, where if you have only one handler, you can do away with the
explicit action.handler form e.g.
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-ts0: \
onmax($wakeup_lat): \
save(next_prio,next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio,prev_comm):snapshot() \
if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
It just wasn't ready to go in with the v4 patches yet, so I decided
to submit it later as a follow-on.

Ah, got it. Would this needs documentation and testcase update too?

Hmm, in this case, I think comma-connected syntax will be clearer when
the action is kicked.
onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_prio,next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio,prev_comm),snapshot()
any thought?
Thank you,

The first part of the patch does contain the Documentation change to
trace/histograms.txt.
But I didn't do a testcase for it, will do that in the next iteration.

With the above I was trying to implement something close to your
original suggestion of:
<actions> onchange(<var>)
So what I described was:
<actions>:onchange(<var>)
where <actions> would expand to action1[:action2:..]
But as I mentioned both only make sense if you only have one
onchange(<var>).
Your new version:
onchange(<var>).action1[,action2,..]
is probably better as it would allow for multiple onchange<var> and/or
other handlers.
Thanks,
Tom
