Main user visible change:
- User events can now have "multi formats"
The current user events have a single format. If another event is created
with a different format, it will fail to be created. That is, once an
event name is used, it cannot be used again with a different format. This
can cause issues if a library is using an event and updates its format.
An application using the older format will prevent an application using
the new library from registering its event.
A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event names, and
it creates events with different formats.
The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
format. Both the event name and its format are the unique identifier.
This will allow two different applications to use the same user event name
but with different payloads.
- Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
not just the main top level tracing buffer.
Other changes:
- Add eventfs_root_inode
Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away) and
stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands of other
eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set in its
descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a eventfs_inode
descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root inode will use this.
- Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs
There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be hit,
but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to make sure that
they are never hit.
- Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid array
The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to hold its
mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already apart of it:
map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory can be saved by
also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as well.
- Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in TRACE_EVENT().
Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:
__string(name, source)
And assigned with:
__assign_str(name, source)
In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to get the
size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and __assign_str() is used to
copy the string into the ring buffer. There's a helper structure that is
created in the TRACE_EVENT() macro logic that will hold the string length
and its position in the ring buffer which is created by __string().
There are several trace events that have a function to create the string
to save. This function is executed twice. Once for __string() and again
for __assign_str(). There's no reason for this. The helper structure could
also save the string it used in __string() and simply copy that into
__assign_str() (it also already has its length).
By using the structure to store the source string for the assignment, it
means that the second argument to __assign_str() is no longer needed.
It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a warning if
the source string given to __string() is different than the source string
given to __assign_str(), as the source to __assign_str() isn't even used
and will be going away.
- Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the next
merge window.
Included fixes that the above check found.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes
