[PATCH v2 0/7] trace-cmd: split: Handle splitting files with multiple instances

[PATCH v2 0/7] trace-cmd: split: Handle splitting files with multiple instances

[Pierre Gondois]

V2:
- Add 'trace-cmd split: Enable support for buffer selection' to
  handle instance selection with the 'trace-cmd' split command.
- Rename patches as 'trace-cmd: split' -> 'trace-cmd split'.
- Correctly free allocated memory in different lists.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218357

Splitting trace files having multiple buffer instances discards
side-buffers . I.e., only the main buffer is preserved in the
resulting split trace files. This patch-set intends to fix this.

As a continuation of the bugzilla, support to allow selecting
buffer instances is added to the 'trace-cmd split' command [1].
This support implies adding new '-B/--top' parameters.

Also:
- Fix a side issue preventing to provide start/end timestamps
  along with a time-window parameters.
- Update trace-cmd split usage

[PATCH v2 2/7] trace-cmd split: Correctly split with start/end/time-window parameters

[Pierre Gondois]

With a trace.dat file having events timestamped between
[284443.0, 284448.0] seconds, the following command:
  trace-cmd split -i trace.dat -o trace2.dat -r -m 100 284444 284445
should produce ten trace2.dat.XXX files between [284444.0, 284445.0],
each one lasting 100ms.

Currently only one trace2.dat.001 file is produced, with events
within the [284444.0, 284445.1] time window.

Don't stop splitting the input file after the first iteration.
Add a end_reached to detect when the end timestamp is reached.

[PATCH v2 3/7] trace-cmd split: Store instances in local list

[Pierre Gondois]

To prepare handling of multiple instances, store instance
handles in a local list, similarly to what is currently
done in tracecmd/trace-read.c.

To help achieve this goal, add a 'struct handle_list' and
add_handle()/free_handles() functions. 'struct handle' elements
are added to the static list, but not used in this patch.

[PATCH v2 4/7] trace-cmd split: Add functions to generate temp files

[Pierre Gondois]

To prepare handling of multiple instances and storing them
in temporary files, add utility functions generating file names,
removing files, creating files:
- get_temp_file()
- delete_temp_file()
- put_temp_file()
- touch_file()

Also make use these functions.

[PATCH v2 5/7] trace-cmd split: Handle splitting files with multiple instances

[Pierre Gondois]

trace-cmd can record events in multiple instances:
  $ trace-cmd record -e sched_wakeup -B test_instance -e sched_switch

When trying to split a trace.dat file recorded with the above command,
only the events located in the main buffer seems to be split. The
events recorded in the test_instance buffer seem to be discarded:
  $ trace-cmd split -i trace.dat -o trace_2.dat 284443 284444
  $ trace-cmd report trace_2.dat
    cpus=8
           <...>-525991 [004] 284443.173879: sched_wakeup: [...]
           <...>-525991 [004] 284443.173879: sched_wakeup: [...]
           <...>-525990 [007] 284443.173885: sched_wakeup: [...]
           <...>-525990 [007] 284443.173885: sched_wakeup: [...]
(no sign of sched_switch events)

Keep all instances/buffers of a trace when it is split.
Also add a 'get_handle()' function.

[PATCH v2 6/7] trace-cmd split: Enable support for buffer selection

[Pierre Gondois]

The 'trace-cmd split' command conserves all buffers/instances
of the input .dat file. Add support to select the instances to
keep and to place as the top instance in an output .dat file.

Multiple .dat files can be generated with different combinations
of the instances to keep. The first instance in the command line
is selected as the top instance in an output .dat file.

For example, with a trace recorded with:
  $ trace-cmd record -e sched_wakeup -B switch_instance \
    -e sched_switch -B timer_instance -e timer

Creating a test.dat file containing the top instance and
the switch_instance:
  $ trace-cmd split --top -B switch_instance -o test.dat

Creating a test.dat file containing the switch_instance as
the top instance, and the initial top instance as an instance
named 'old_top':
  $ trace-cmd split -B switch_instance --top=old_top -o test.dat

Splitting all instances in different .dat files:
  $ trace-cmd split --top -o top.dat -B switch_instance \
    -o switch.dat -B timer_instance -o timer.dat

To achieve this, new 'struct name_list', 'struct output_file_list'
structures are created, with associated functions.

Nit on strdup() error checking again.

I know that I have forgotten to do this too, but lets not add more ;-)
and lets add the checks if they were missing when we modify that code.

Doing a clean up on that is on my todo list.

I had two trace.dat files I was checking on. One that just had the top
level instance being traced, and the other that only had an instance.

Until now, my instance trace.dat file did not have any output when doing a
split. Now it does. BUT! I tried the command you had shown in a previous patch:

  ./tracecmd/trace-cmd split -i trace.dat -o /tmp/trace2.dat -r -m 100 3122478 3122479

and it it kept going!

That is, this change broke the fix of the previous change.

FYI, I applied the first two patches of your series. You don't need to
include them in future versions.

Yes indeed,
The problem should be fixed in the v3. Thanks for the tests,

I tried running the code with valgrind, and it it went into an infinite
loop, saying that the code at line 728 had a conditional jump based on an
uninitialized variable. That line is here:

	do {
		if (repeat)
			sprintf(output_file, "%s.%04d", output, c++);
		else
			strcpy(output_file, output);
			
		current = parse_file(handle, output_file, start_ns, end_ns,
				     percpu, cpu, count, type, &end_reached);

		if (!repeat)
			break;
		start_ns = 0;
	} while (!end_reached && (current && (!end_ns || current < end_ns)));  <<<<-- Line 728

Debugging it, I found that the above "current = end;" removal removed the
only initialization of current.

Just an FYI, I'll write a fix.

Thanks,

I tried this with a trace.dat file that has a instance called "tast" and it
didn't work. Note, the top instance had no data.

  $ trace-cmd split -i /work/traces/trace-tast.dat -o /tmp/trace-tast2.dat -B tast

  $ trace-cmd report /tmp/trace-tast2.dat
cpus=2
tast:        trace-cmd-3559  [001] 59413.154884: sched_waking:         comm=kworker/u4:2 pid=1324 prio=120 target_cpu=000

Still has "tast" as an instance and not the top.

I replied to the wrong email. This should have been sent to the v3 version.
