Tracefs is the ideal candidate for this task: * It is simple to use and to script. * It is supported by various tools, from the trace-cmd CLI to the Android web-based perfetto. * The ring-buffer, where are stored trace events consists of linked pages, making it an ideal structure for sharing between kernel and hypervisor. This series first introduces a new generic way of creating remote events and remote buffers. Then it adds support to the pKVM hypervisor. 1. ring-buffer -------------- To setup the per-cpu ring-buffers, a new interface is created: ring_buffer_remote: Describes what the kernel needs to know about the remote writer, that is, the set of pages forming the ring-buffer and a callback for the reader/head swapping (enables consuming read) ring_buffer_remote(): Creates a read-only ring-buffer from a ring_buffer_remote. To keep the internals of `struct ring_buffer` in sync with the remote, the meta-page is used. It was originally introduced to enable user-space mapping of the ring-buffer [1]. In this case, the kernel is not the producer anymore but the reader. The function to read that meta-page is: ring_buffer_poll_remote(): Update `struct ring_buffer` based on the remote meta-page. Wake-up readers if necessary. The kernel has to poll the meta-page to be notified of newly written events. 2. Tracefs ---------- This series introduce a new trace_remote that does the link between tracefs and the remote ring-buffer. The interface is found in the remotes/ directory at the root of the tracefs mount point. Each remote is like an instance and you'll find there a subset of the regular Tracefs user-space interface: remotes/test/ buffer_size_kb trace_clock trace_pipe trace per_cpu/ cpuX/ trace trace_pipe events/ test/ selftest/ enable id Behind the scenes, kernel/trace/trace_remote.c creates this tracefs hierarchy without relying on kernel/trace/trace.c. This is due to fundamental differences: * Remote tracing doesn't support trace_array's system-specific features (snapshots, tracers, etc.). * Logged event formats differ (e.g., no PID for remote events). * Buffer operations require specific remote interactions. 3. Simple Ring-Buffer --------------------- As the current ring-buffer.c implementation has too many dependencies to be used directly by the pKVM hypervisor. A new simple implementation is created and can be found in kernel/trace/simple-ring-buffer.c. This implementation is write-only and is used by both the pKVM hypervisor and a trace_remote test module. 4. Events --------- A new REMOTE_EVENT() macro is added to simplify the creation of events on the kernel side. As remote tracing buffer are read only, only the event structure and a way of printing must be declared. The prototype of the macro is very similar to the well-known TRACE_EVENT() REMOTE_EVENT(my_event, id, RE_STRUCT( re_field(u64, foobar) ), RE_PRINTK("foobar=%lld", __entry->foobar) ) ) 5. pKVM ------- The pKVM support simply creates a "hypervisor" trace_remote on the kernel side and inherits from simple-ring-buffer.c on the hypervisor side. A new event macro is created HYP_EVENT() that is under the hood re-using REMOTE_EVENT() (defined in the previous paragaph) as well as generate hypervisor specific struct and trace_() functions. 5. Limitations: --------------- Non-consuming reading of the buffer isn't supported (i.e. cat trace -> -EPERM) due to current the lack of support in the ring-buffer meta-page.
