Hi,

This is v11 of the trace event triggers patchset.  Prompted by
Masami's mentioning of splitting out independent patches, I split out
3 of the patches into an independent patchset, posted earlier as
'tracing: add support for multibuffer event filters', which this
patchset depends on and should be applied on top of.

Moving things around meant fixing up some conflicts, but functionally
nothing changed.

v11:
 - moved 'Update event filters for multibuffer' patch to the 'add
   support for multibuffer event filters' patchset.
 - moved 'Make register/unregister_ftrace_command __init' to the 'add
   support for multibuffer event filters' patchset.
 - moved ' Add support for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall' to the 'add
   support for multibuffer event filters' patchset.
 - removed 'define trace_dump_stack() if !CONFIG_STACKTRACE' patch
 (not necessary)
 - removed 'fix tracing_snapshot kerneldoc' patch (queued for 3.13)

v10:
 - ifdef'ed out both the snapshot and stacktrace triggers if the
   corresponding config options aren't defined.
 - added a new tracing_alloc_snapshot() function instead of the
   ftrace_alloc_snapshot() of the previous patches.  This seems more
   in line with usage and what's already there.  Though the name of
   the new function is similar to the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc(),
   they're semantically different and documented as such -
   tracing_snapshot_alloc() means take a snapshot, allocating a
   snapshot buffer if needed, while tracing_alloc_snapshot() is just a
   standalone snapshot allocation function, and in fact is called by
   tracing_snapshot_alloc() underneath to allocate the snapshot.
 - changed the STACK_SKIP to 3, since 4 is one too many.
 - changed the overall trigger registration to not unregister all the
   triggers if one fails.
 - fixed the tracing_snapshot_alloc() kerneldoc from the incorrect
   trace_snapshot_alloc(). (new patch)
 - added a do-nothing trace_dump_stack() stub after getting link
   errors when building with CONFIG_STACKTRACE turned off. (new patch)

v9:
 - changed the comments in ftrace_syscall_enter/exit to reflect that
   the tracepoint handlers are inside rcu_read_lock_sched() rather
   than just rcu_read_lock() and changed rcu_dereference() calls just
   below them to rcu_dereference_sched() to match.
 - removed the unnecessary preempt_disable calls from
   event_triggers_call() and event_triggers_post_call().
 - changed register/unregister_event_command() to directly use
   trigger_cmd_mutex and trigger_commands instead of having them
   passed in, removing those params and fixing up callers.
 - removed the 'enabled' param on the event_command func() callback
   function and all callers and implementations after noticing it was
   pointless while documenting the params.
 - added kernel-doc comments for event_triggers_call() and
   event_triggers_post_call().
 - fixed up all the other kernel-doc comments to be compliant and
   complete.
 - fixed small typos mentioned.

v8:
 - changed rcu_dereference_raw() to rcu_dereference() and moved
   synchronize_sched() out from under the syscall_trace_lock mutex.
 - got rid of the various void ** usages in the basic framework and
   individual trigger patches.  Since triggers always expect an
   event_trigger_data instance, there's not even any reason to make it
   a void *, so those along with the void * usages were changed to use
   event_trigger_data * directly.  To allow for trigger-specific data,
   a new void * field named private_data was added to
   event_trigger_data; this is made use of by the enable/disable_event
   triggers.
 - fixed various style nitpicks.
 - added a new TRIGGER_COND flag to ftrace_file - this flag basically
   tracks whether or not an event has any triggers that have a
   condition associated with them that requires looking at the data
   being logged (or that would be in the case of soft-disable) for the
   current event.  If TRIGGER_COND is not set, then the triggers can
   be invoked immediately without forcing the ineffeciency of actually
   generating the log event when not necessary.
 - patch 8 removed the obsolete filter_current_check_discard() and
   replaced it with filter_check_discard() but accidentally made the
   new function static inline, which is obviously not what was
   intended.  That and the new call_filter_check_discard() functions
   are now normal functions as filter_current_check_discard() was.
 - isolated all the ugly 'if (USE_CALL_FILTER) else' usages in patch 8
   which significantly cleaned up that patch as a result.

v7:
 - moved find_event_file() extern declartion to patch 06.
 - moved helper functions from patch 02 to 03, where they're first
   used.
 - removed copies of cmd_ops fields from trigger_data and changed to
   use cmd_ops diretly instead.
 - renamed trigger_mode to trigger_type to avoid confusion with the
   FTRACE_EVENT_FL_TRIGGER_MODE_BIT bitflag, and fixed up
   usage/documentation, etc.

v6:
 - fixed up the conflicts in trace_events.c related to the actual
   creation of the per-event 'trigger' files.

v5:
 - got rid of the trigger_iterator, a vestige of the first patchset,
   which attempted to abstract the ftrace_iterator for triggers, and
   cleaned up related code simplified as a result.
 - replaced the void *cmd_data everywhere with ftrace_event_file *,
   another vestige of the initial patchset.
 - updated the patchset to use event_file_data() to grab the i_private
   ftrace_event_files where appropriate (this was a separate patch in
   the previous patchset, but was merged into the basic framework
   patch as suggested by Masami.  The only interesting part about this
   is that it moved event_file_data() from kernel/trace/trace_events.c
   to kernel/trace/trace.h so it can be used in
   e.g. trace_events_trigger.c as well.)
 - add missing grab of event_mutex in event_trigger_regex_write().
 - realized when making the above changes that the trigger filters
   weren't being freed when the trigger was freed, so added a
   trigger_data_free() to do that.  It also ensures that trigger_data
   won't be freed until nothing is using it.
 - added clear_event_triggers(), which clears all triggers in a trace
   array (and soft-disable associated with event_enable/disable
   events).
 - added a comment to ftrace_syscall_enter/exit to document the use of
   rcu_dereference_raw() there.

v4:
 - made some changes to the soft-disable for syscall patch, according
   to Masami's suggestions.  Actually, since there's now an array of
   ftrace_files for syscalls that can serve the same purpose, the
   enabled_enter/exit_syscalls bit arrays became redundant and were
   removed.
 - moved all the remaining common functions out of the
   traceon/traceoff patch and into the basic trigger framework patch
   and added comments to all the common functions.
 - extensively commented the event_trigger_ops and event_command ops.
 - made the register/unregister_command functions __init.  Since that
   code was originally inspired by similar ftrace code, a new patch
   was added to do the same thing for the register/unregister of the
   ftrace commands (patch 10/11).
 - fixed the event_trigger_regex_open i_private problem noted by
   Masami that's currently being addressed by Oleg Nesterov's fixes
   for this.  Note that that patchset also affects patch 8/11 (update
   filters for multi-buffer, since it touches event filters as well).
   Patch 11/11 depends on that patchset and also moves
   event_file_data() to trace.h.b

v3:
 - added a new patch to the series (patch 8/9 - update event filters
   for multibuffer) to bring the event filters up-to-date wrt the
   multibuffer changes - without this patch, the same filter is
   applied to all buffers regardless of which instance sets it; this
   patch allows you to set per-instance filters as you'd expect.  The
   one exception to this is the 'ftrace subsystem' events, which are
   special and retain their current behavior.
 - changed the syscall soft enabling to keep a per-trace-array array
   of trace_event_files alongside the 'enabled' bitmaps there.  This
   keeps them in a place where they're only allocated for tracing
   and which I think addresses all the previous comments for that
   patch.

v2:
 - removed all changes to __ftrace_event_enable_disable() (except
   for patch 04/11 which clears the soft_disabled bit as discussed)
   and created a separate trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() that
   calls it after setting/clearing the TRIGGER_MODE_BIT.
 - added a trigger_mode enum for future patches that break up the
   trigger calls for filtering, but that's also now used as a command
   id for registering/unregistering commands.
 - removed the enter_file/exit_file members that were added to
   syscall_metadata after realizing that they were unnecessary if
   ftrace_syscall_enter/exit() were modified to receive a pointer
   to the ftrace_file instead of the pointer to the trace_array in
   the ftrace_file.
 - broke up the trigger invocation into two parts so that triggers
   like 'stacktrace' that themselves log into the trace buffer can
   defer the actual trigger invocation until after the current
   record is closed, which is needed for the filter check that
   in turn determines whether the trigger gets invoked.
 - other minor cleanup


This patchset implements 'trace event triggers', which are similar to
the function triggers implemented for 'ftrace filter commands' (see
'Filter commands' in Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt), but instead of
being invoked from function calls are invoked by trace events.
Basically the patchset allows 'commands' to be triggered whenever a
given trace event is hit.  The set of commands implemented by this
patchset are:

 - enable/disable_event - enable or disable another event whenever
   the trigger event is hit

 - stacktrace - dump a stacktrace to the trace buffer whenever the
   trigger event is hit

 - snapshot - create a snapshot of the current trace buffer whenever
   the trigger event is hit

 - traceon/traceoff - turn tracing on or off whenever the trigger
   event is hit

Triggers can also be conditionally invoked by associating a standard
trace event filter with them - if the given event passes the filter,
the trigger is invoked, otherwise it's not. (see 'Event filtering' in
Documentation/trace/events.txt for info on event filters).

See the last patch in the series for more complete documention on
event triggers and the available trigger commands, and below for some
simple examples of each of the above commands along with conditional
filtering.

The first four patches are bugfix patches or minor improvements which
can be applied regardless; the rest contain the basic framework and
implementations for each command.

This patchset was based on some ideas from Steve Rostedt, which he
outlined during a couple discussions at ELC and follow-on e-mails.
Code- and interface-wise, it's also partially based on the existing
function triggers implementation and essentially works on top of the
SOFT_DISABLE mode introduced for that.  Both Steve and Masami
Hiramatsu took a look at a couple early versions of this patchset, and
offered some very useful suggestions reflected in this patchset -
thanks to them both for the ideas and for taking the time to do some
basic sanity reviews!

Below are a few concrete examples demonstrating each of the available
commands.

The first example attempts to capture all the kmalloc events that
happen as a result of reading a particular file.

The first part of the set of commands below adds a kmalloc
'enable_event' trigger to the sys_enter_read trace event - as a
result, when the sys_enter_read event occurs, kmalloc events are
enabled, resulting in those kmalloc events getting logged into the
trace buffer.  The :1 at the end of the kmalloc enable_event specifies
that the enabling of kmalloc events on sys_enter_read will only happen
once - subsequent reads won't trigger the kmalloc logging.  The next
part of the example reads a test file, which triggers the
sys_enter_read tracepoint and thus turns on the kmalloc events, and
once done, adds a trigger to sys_exit_read that disables kmalloc
events.  The disable_event doesn't have a :1 appended, which means it
happens on every sys_exit_read.

# echo 'enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger; \
  cat ~/junk.txt > /dev/null; \
  echo 'disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger

Just to show a bit of what happens under the covers, if we display the
kmalloc 'enable' file, we see that it's 'soft disabled' (the asterisk
after the enable flag).  This means that it's actually enabled but is
in the SOFT_DISABLED state, and is essentially held back from actually
logging anything to the trace buffer, but can be made to log into the
buffer by simply flipping a bit :

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/enable
0*

If we look at the 'enable' file for the triggering sys_enter_read
trace event, we can see that it also has the 'soft disable' flag set.
This is because in the case of the triggering event, we also need to
have the trace event invoked regardless of whether or not its actually
being logged, so we can process the triggers.  This functionality is
also built on top of the SOFT_DISABLE flag and is reflected in the
enable state as well:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/enable
0*

To find out which triggers are set for a particular event, we can look
at the 'trigger' file for the event.  Here's what the 'trigger' file
for the sys_enter_read event looks like:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:count=0

The 'count=0' field at the end shows that this trigger has no more
triggering ability left - it's essentially fired all its shots - if
it was still active, it would have a non-zero count.

Looking at the sys_exit_read, we see that since we didn't specify a
number at the end, the number of times it can fire is unlimited:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
disable_event:kmem:kmalloc:unlimited

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/enable
0*

Finally, let's look at the results of the above set of commands by
cat'ing the 'trace' file:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

# tracer: nop
#

As you can see, we captured all the kmallocs from our 'cat' reads, but
also any other kmallocs that happened for other processes between the
time we turned on kmalloc events and turned them off.  Future work
should add a way to screen out unwanted events e.g. the abilitiy to
capture the triggering pid in a simple variable and use that variable
in event filters to screen out other pids.

To turn off the events we turned on, simply reinvoke the commands
prefixed by '!':

# echo '!enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
# echo '!disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger

You can verify that the events have been turned off by again examining
the 'enable' and 'trigger' files:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/enable
0
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/enable
0


The next example shows how to use the 'stacktrace' command.  To have a
stacktrace logged every time a particular event occurs, simply echo
'stacktrace' into the 'trigger' file for that event:

# echo 'stacktrace' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
stacktrace:unlimited

Looking at the 'trace' output, we indeed see stack traces for every
kmalloc:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

          compiz-1769  [003] ....  2422.614630: <stack trace>

For an event like kmalloc, however, we don't typically want to see a
stack trace for every single event, since the amount of data produced
is overwhelming.  What we'd typically want to do is only log a stack
trace for particular events of interest.  We can accomplish that by
appending an 'event filter' to the trigger.  The event filters used to
filter triggers are exactly the same as those implemented for the
existing trace event 'filter' files - see the trace event
documentation for details.

First, let's turn off the existing stacktrace event, and clear the
trace buffer:

# echo '!stacktrace' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Now, we can add a new stacktrace trigger which will fire 5 times, but
only if the number of bytes requested by the caller was greater than
or equal to 512:

# echo 'stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 512' > \
     /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
stacktrace:count=0 if bytes_req >= 512

>From looking at the trigger, we can see the event fired 5 times
(count=0) and looking at the 'trace' file, we can verify that:

# cat trace
# tracer: nop

So the trace output shows exactly 5 stacktraces, as expected.

Just for comparison, let's look at an event that's harder to trigger,
to see a count that isn't 0 in the trigger description:

# echo 'stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
     /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
stacktrace:count=5 if bytes_req >= 65536


The next example shows how to use the 'snapshot' command to capture a
snapshot of the trace buffer when an 'interesting' event occurs.

In this case, we'll first start the entire block subsystem tracing:

# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/enable

Next, we add a 'snapshot' trigger that will take a snapshot of all the
events leading up to the particular event we're interested in, which
is a block queue unplug with a depth > 1.  In this case we're
interested in capturing the snapshot just one time, the first time it
occurs:

# echo 'snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
     /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

It may take awhile for the condition to occur, but once it does, we
can see the entire sequence of block events leading up to in in the
'snapshot' file:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/snapshot

The final example shows something very similer but using the
'traceoff' command to stop tracing when an 'interesting' event occurs.
The traceon and traceoff commands can be used together to toggle
tracing on and off in creative ways to capture different traces in the
'trace' buffer, but this example just shows essentially the same use
case as the previous example but using 'traceoff' to capture trace
data of interest in the standard 'trace' buffer.

Again, we'll start the entire block subsystem tracing:

# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/enable

# echo 'traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
     /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

Add a 'trigger' file for each trace event, enabling 'trace event
triggers' to be set for trace events.

'trace event triggers' are patterned after the existing 'ftrace
function triggers' implementation except that triggers are written to
per-event 'trigger' files instead of to a single file such as the
'set_ftrace_filter' used for ftrace function triggers.

The implementation is meant to be entirely separate from ftrace
function triggers, in order to keep the respective implementations
relatively simple and to allow them to diverge.

The event trigger functionality is built on top of SOFT_DISABLE
functionality.  It adds a TRIGGER_MODE bit to the ftrace_event_file
flags which is checked when any trace event fires.  Triggers set for a
particular event need to be checked regardless of whether that event
is actually enabled or not - getting an event to fire even if it's not
enabled is what's already implemented by SOFT_DISABLE mode, so trigger
mode directly reuses that.  Event trigger essentially inherit the soft
disable logic in __ftrace_event_enable_disable() while adding a bit of
logic and trigger reference counting via tm_ref on top of that in a
new trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() function.  Because the base
__ftrace_event_enable_disable() code now needs to be invoked from
outside trace_events.c, a wrapper is also added for those usages.

The triggers for an event are actually invoked via a new function,
event_triggers_call(), and code is also added to invoke them for
ftrace_raw_event calls as well as syscall events.

The main part of the patch creates a new trace_events_trigger.c file
to contain the trace event triggers implementation.

The standard open, read, and release file operations are implemented
here.

The open() implementation sets up for the various open modes of the
'trigger' file.  It creates and attaches the trigger iterator and sets
up the command parser.  If opened for reading set up the trigger
seq_ops.

The read() implementation parses the event trigger written to the
'trigger' file, looks up the trigger command, and passes it along to
that event_command's func() implementation for command-specific
processing.

The release() implementation does whatever cleanup is needed to
release the 'trigger' file, like releasing the parser and trigger
iterator, etc.

A couple of functions for event command registration and
unregistration are added, along with a list to add them to and a mutex
to protect them, as well as an (initially empty) registration function
to add the set of commands that will be added by future commits, and
call to it from the trace event initialization code.

also added are a couple trigger-specific data structures needed for
these implementations such as a trigger iterator and a struct for
trigger-specific data.

A couple structs consisting mostly of function meant to be implemented
in command-specific ways, event_command and event_trigger_ops, are
used by the generic event trigger command implementations.  They're
being put into trace.h alongside the other trace_event data structures
and functions, in the expectation that they'll be needed in several
trace_event-related files such as trace_events_trigger.c and
trace_events.c.

The event_command.func() function is meant to be called by the trigger
parsing code in order to add a trigger instance to the corresponding
event.  It essentially coordinates adding a live trigger instance to
the event, and arming the triggering the event.

Every event_command func() implementation essentially does the
same thing for any command:

   - choose ops - use the value of param to choose either a number or
     count version of event_trigger_ops specific to the command
   - do the register or unregister of those ops
   - associate a filter, if specified, with the triggering event

The reg() and unreg() ops allow command-specific implementations for
event_trigger_op registration and unregistration, and the
get_trigger_ops() op allows command-specific event_trigger_ops
selection to be parameterized.  When a trigger instance is added, the
reg() op essentially adds that trigger to the triggering event and
arms it, while unreg() does the opposite.  The set_filter() function
is used to associate a filter with the trigger - if the command
doesn't specify a set_filter() implementation, the command will ignore
filters.

Each command has an associated trigger_type, which serves double duty,
both as a unique identifier for the command as well as a value that
can be used for setting a trigger mode bit during trigger invocation.

The signature of func() adds a pointer to the event_command struct,
used to invoke those functions, along with a command_data param that
can be passed to the reg/unreg functions.  This allows func()
implementations to use command-specific blobs and supports code
re-use.

The event_trigger_ops.func() command corrsponds to the trigger 'probe'
function that gets called when the triggering event is actually
invoked.  The other functions are used to list the trigger when
needed, along with a couple mundane book-keeping functions.

This also moves event_file_data() into trace.h so it can be used
outside of trace_events.c.

+/**
+ * struct event_command - callbacks and data members for event commands
+ *
+ * Event commands are invoked by users by writing the command name
+ * into the 'trigger' file associated with a trace event.  The
+ * parameters associated with a specific invocation of an event
+ * command are used to create an event trigger instance, which is
+ * added to the list of trigger instances associated with that trace
+ * event.  When the event is hit, the set of triggers associated with
+ * that event is invoked.
+ *
+ * The data members in this structure provide per-event command data
+ * for various event commands.
+ *
+ * All the data members below, except for @post_trigger, must be set
+ * for each event command.
+ *
+ * @name: The unique name that identifies the event command.  This is
+ *	the name used when setting triggers via trigger files.
+ *
+ * @trigger_type: A unique id that identifies the event command
+ *	'type'.  This value has two purposes, the first to ensure that
+ *	only one trigger of the same type can be set at a given time
+ *	for a particular event e.g. it doesn't make sense to have both
+ *	a traceon and traceoff trigger attached to a single event at
+ *	the same time, so traceon and traceoff have the same type
+ *	though they have different names.  The @trigger_type value is
+ *	also used as a bit value for deferring the actual trigger
+ *	action until after the current event is finished.  Some
+ *	commands need to do this if they themselves log to the trace
+ *	buffer (see the @post_trigger() member below).  @trigger_type
+ *	values are defined by adding new values to the trigger_type
+ *	enum in include/linux/ftrace_event.h.
+ *
+ * @post_trigger: A flag that says whether or not this command needs
+ *	to have its action delayed until after the current event has
+ *	been closed.  Some triggers need to avoid being invoked while
+ *	an event is currently in the process of being logged, since
+ *	the trigger may itself log data into the trace buffer.  Thus
+ *	we make sure the current event is committed before invoking
+ *	those triggers.  To do that, the trigger invocation is split
+ *	in two - the first part checks the filter using the current
+ *	trace record; if a command has the @post_trigger flag set, it
+ *	sets a bit for itself in the return value, otherwise it
+ *	directly invokes the trigger.  Once all commands have been
+ *	either invoked or set their return flag, the current record is
+ *	either committed or discarded.  At that point, if any commands
+ *	have deferred their triggers, those commands are finally
+ *	invoked following the close of the current event.  In other
+ *	words, if the event_trigger_ops @func() probe implementation
+ *	itself logs to the trace buffer, this flag should be set,
+ *	otherwise it can be left unspecified.
+ *
+ * All the methods below, except for @set_filter(), must be
+ * implemented.
+ *
+ * @func: The callback function responsible for parsing and
+ *	registering the trigger written to the 'trigger' file by the
+ *	user.  It allocates the trigger instance and registers it with
+ *	the appropriate trace event.  It makes use of the other
+ *	event_command callback functions to orchestrate this, and is
+ *	usually implemented by the generic utility function
+ *	@event_trigger_callback() (see trace_event_triggers.c).
+ *
+ * @reg: Adds the trigger to the list of triggers associated with the
+ *	event, and enables the event trigger itself, after
+ *	initializing it (via the event_trigger_ops @init() function).
+ *	This is also where commands can use the @trigger_type value to
+ *	make the decision as to whether or not multiple instances of
+ *	the trigger should be allowed.  This is usually implemented by
+ *	the generic utility function @register_trigger() (see
+ *	trace_event_triggers.c).
+ *
+ * @unreg: Removes the trigger from the list of triggers associated
+ *	with the event, and disables the event trigger itself, after
+ *	initializing it (via the event_trigger_ops @free() function).
+ *	This is usually implemented by the generic utility function
+ *	@unregister_trigger() (see trace_event_triggers.c).
+ *
+ * @set_filter: An optional function called to parse and set a filter
+ *	for the trigger.  If no @set_filter() method is set for the
+ *	event command, filters set by the user for the command will be
+ *	ignored.  This is usually implemented by the generic utility
+ *	function @set_trigger_filter() (see trace_event_triggers.c).
+ *
+ * @get_trigger_ops: The callback function invoked to retrieve the
+ *	event_trigger_ops implementation associated with the command.

  To: rostedt; +Cc: masami.hiramatsu.pt, linux-kernel, Tom Zanussi

Add 'traceon' and 'traceoff' event_command commands.  traceon and
traceoff event triggers are added by the user via these commands in a
similar way and using practically the same syntax as the analagous
'traceon' and 'traceoff' ftrace function commands, but instead of
writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the traceon and traceoff
triggers are written to the per-event 'trigger' files:

    echo 'traceon' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger
    echo 'traceoff' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger

The above command will turn tracing on or off whenever someevent is
hit.

This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the
command will be invoked:

    echo 'traceon:N' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger
    echo 'traceoff:N' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger

Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked.

The above commands will will turn tracing on or off whenever someevent
is hit, but only N times.

Some common register/unregister_trigger() implementations of the
event_command reg()/unreg() callbacks are also provided, which add and
remove trigger instances to the per-event list of triggers, and
arm/disarm them as appropriate.  event_trigger_callback() is a
general-purpose event_command func() implementation that orchestrates
command parsing and registration for most normal commands.

Most event commands will use these, but some will override and
possibly reuse them.

The event_trigger_init(), event_trigger_free(), and
event_trigger_print() functions are meant to be common implementations
of the event_trigger_ops init(), free(), and print() ops,
respectively.

Most trigger_ops implementations will use these, but some will
override and possibly reuse them.

From: Tom Zanussi @ 2013-10-24 13:59 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: rostedt; +Cc: masami.hiramatsu.pt, linux-kernel, Tom Zanussi

Add 'snapshot' event_command.  snapshot event triggers are added by
the user via this command in a similar way and using practically the
same syntax as the analogous 'snapshot' ftrace function command, but
instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the snapshot event
trigger is written to the per-event 'trigger' files:

    echo 'snapshot' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger

The above command will turn on snapshots for someevent i.e. whenever
someevent is hit, a snapshot will be done.

This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the
command will be invoked:

    echo 'snapshot:N' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger

Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked.

The above command will snapshot N times for someevent i.e. whenever
someevent is hit N times, a snapshot will be done.

Also adds a new tracing_alloc_snapshot() function - the existing
tracing_snapshot_alloc() function is a special version of
tracing_snapshot() that also does the snapshot allocation - the
snapshot triggers would like to be able to do just the allocation but
not take a snapshot; the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc() in turn now
also calls tracing_alloc_snapshot() underneath to do that allocation.

Add 'stacktrace' event_command.  stacktrace event triggers are added
by the user via this command in a similar way and using practically
the same syntax as the analogous 'stacktrace' ftrace function command,
but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the stacktrace
event trigger is written to the per-event 'trigger' files:

    echo 'stacktrace' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger

The above command will turn on stacktraces for someevent i.e. whenever
someevent is hit, a stacktrace will be logged.

This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the
command will be invoked:

    echo 'stacktrace:N' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger

Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked.

The above command will log N stacktraces for someevent i.e. whenever
someevent is hit N times, a stacktrace will be logged.

Add 'enable_event' and 'disable_event' event_command commands.

enable_event and disable_event event triggers are added by the user
via these commands in a similar way and using practically the same
syntax as the analagous 'enable_event' and 'disable_event' ftrace
function commands, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter
file, the enable_event and disable_event triggers are written to the
per-event 'trigger' files:

    echo 'enable_event:system:event' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger
    echo 'disable_event:system:event' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger

The above commands will enable or disable the 'system:event' trace
events whenever the othersys:otherevent events are hit.

This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the
command will be invoked:

    echo 'enable_event:system:event:N' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger
    echo 'disable_event:system:event:N' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger

Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked.

The above commands will will enable or disable the 'system:event'
trace events whenever the othersys:otherevent events are hit, but only
N times.

This also makes the find_event_file() helper function extern, since
it's useful to use from other places, such as the event triggers code,
so make it accessible.

Add a generic event_command.set_trigger_filter() op implementation and
have the current set of trigger commands use it - this essentially
gives them all support for filters.

Syntactically, filters are supported by adding 'if <filter>' just
after the command, in which case only events matching the filter will
invoke the trigger.  For example, to add a filter to an
enable/disable_event command:

    echo 'enable_event:system:event if common_pid == 999' > \
              .../othersys/otherevent/trigger

The above command will only enable the system:event event if the
common_pid field in the othersys:otherevent event is 999.

As another example, to add a filter to a stacktrace command:

    echo 'stacktrace if common_pid == 999' > \
                   .../somesys/someevent/trigger

The above command will only trigger a stacktrace if the common_pid
field in the event is 999.

The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event
filtering' section of Documentation/trace/events.txt.

Because triggers can now use filters, the trigger-invoking logic needs
to be moved in those cases - e.g. for ftrace_raw_event_calls, if a
trigger has a filter associated with it, the trigger invocation now
needs to happen after the { assign; } part of the call, in order for
the trigger condition to be tested.

There's still a SOFT_DISABLED-only check at the top of e.g. the
ftrace_raw_events function, so when an event is soft disabled but not
because of the presence of a trigger, the original SOFT_DISABLED
behavior remains unchanged.

There's also a bit of trickiness in that some triggers need to avoid
being invoked while an event is currently in the process of being
logged, since the trigger may itself log data into the trace buffer.
Thus we make sure the current event is committed before invoking those
triggers.  To do that, we split the trigger invocation in two - the
first part (event_triggers_call()) checks the filter using the current
trace record; if a command has the post_trigger flag set, it sets a
bit for itself in the return value, otherwise it directly invoks the
trigger.  Once all commands have been either invoked or set their
return flag, event_triggers_call() returns.  The current record is
then either committed or discarded; if any commands have deferred
their triggers, those commands are finally invoked following the close
of the current event by event_triggers_post_call().

To simplify the above and make it more efficient, the TRIGGER_COND bit
is introduced, which is set only if a soft-disabled trigger needs to
use the log record for filter testing or needs to wait until the
current log record is closed.

The syscall event invocation code is also changed in analogous ways.

Because event triggers need to be able to create and free filters,
this also adds a couple external wrappers for the existing
create_filter and free_filter functions, which are too generic to be
made extern functions themselves.

+
+6. Event triggers
+=================
+
+Trace events can be made to conditionally invoke trigger 'commands'
+which can take various forms and are described in detail below;
+examples would be enabling or disabling other trace events or invoking
+a stack trace whenever the trace event is hit.  Whenever a trace event
+with attached triggers is invoked, the set of trigger commands
+associated with that event is invoked.  Any given trigger can
+additionally have an event filter of the same form as described in
+section 5 (Event filtering) associated with it - the command will only
+be invoked if the event being invoked passes the associated filter.
+If no filter is associated with the trigger, it always passes.
+
+Triggers are added to and removed from a particular event by writing
+trigger expressions to the 'trigger' file for the given event.
+
+A given event can have any number of triggers associated with it,
+subject to any restrictions that individual commands may have in that
+regard.
+
+Event triggers are implemented on top of "soft" mode, which means that
+whenever a trace event has one or more triggers associated with it,
+the event is activated even if it isn't actually enabled, but is
+disabled in a "soft" mode.  That is, the tracepoint will be called,
+but just will not be traced, unless of course it's actually enabled.
+This scheme allows triggers to be invoked even for events that aren't
+enabled, and also allows the current event filter implementation to be
+used for conditionally invoking triggers.
+
+The syntax for event triggers is roughly based on the syntax for
+set_ftrace_filter 'ftrace filter commands' (see the 'Filter commands'
+section of Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt), but there are major
+differences and the implementation isn't currently tied to it in any
+way, so beware about making generalizations between the two.
+
+6.1 Expression syntax
+---------------------
+
+Triggers are added by echoing the command to the 'trigger' file:
+
+  # echo 'command[:count] [if filter]' > trigger
+
+Triggers are removed by echoing the same command but starting with '!'
+to the 'trigger' file:
+
+  # echo '!command[:count] [if filter]' > trigger
+
+The [if filter] part isn't used in matching commands when removing, so
+leaving that off in a '!' command will accomplish the same thing as
+having it in.
+
+The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event
+filtering' section above.
+
+For ease of use, writing to the trigger file using '>' currently just
+adds or removes a single trigger and there's no explicit '>>' support
+('>' actually behaves like '>>') or truncation support to remove all
+triggers (you have to use '!' for each one added.)
+
+6.2 Supported trigger commands
+------------------------------
+
+The following commands are supported:
+
+- enable_event/disable_event
+
+  These commands can enable or disable another trace event whenever
+  the triggering event is hit.  When these commands are registered,
+  the other trace event is activated, but disabled in a "soft" mode.
+  That is, the tracepoint will be called, but just will not be traced.
+  The event tracepoint stays in this mode as long as there's a trigger
+  in effect that can trigger it.
+
+  For example, the following trigger causes kmalloc events to be
+  traced when a read system call is entered, and the :1 at the end
+  specifies that this enablement happens only once:
+
+  # echo 'enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
+      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
+
+  The following trigger causes kmalloc events to stop being traced
+  when a read system call exits.  This disablement happens on every
+  read system call exit:
+
+  # echo 'disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
+      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
+
+  The format is:
+
+      enable_event:<system>:<event>[:count]
+      disable_event:<system>:<event>[:count]
+
+  To remove the above commands:
+
+  # echo '!enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
+      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
+
+  # echo '!disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
+      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
+
+  Note that there can be any number of enable/disable_event triggers
+  per triggering event, but there can only be one trigger per
+  triggered event. e.g. sys_enter_read can have triggers enabling both
+  kmem:kmalloc and sched:sched_switch, but can't have two kmem:kmalloc
+  versions such as kmem:kmalloc and kmem:kmalloc:1 or 'kmem:kmalloc if
+  bytes_req == 256' and 'kmem:kmalloc if bytes_alloc == 256' (they
+  could be combined into a single filter on kmem:kmalloc though).
+
+- stacktrace
+
+  This command dumps a stacktrace in the trace buffer whenever the
+  triggering event occurs.
+
+  For example, the following trigger dumps a stacktrace every time the
+  kmalloc tracepoint is hit:
+
+  # echo 'stacktrace' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  The following trigger dumps a stacktrace the first 5 times a kmalloc
+  request happens with a size >= 64K
+
+  # echo 'stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  The format is:
+
+      stacktrace[:count]
+
+  To remove the above commands:
+
+  # echo '!stacktrace' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  # echo '!stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  The latter can also be removed more simply by the following (without
+  the filter):
+
+  # echo '!stacktrace:5' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  Note that there can be only one stacktrace trigger per triggering
+  event.
+
+- snapshot
+
+  This command causes a snapshot to be triggered whenever the
+  triggering event occurs.
+
+  The following command creates a snapshot every time a block request
+  queue is unplugged with a depth > 1.  If you were tracing a set of
+  events or functions at the time, the snapshot trace buffer would
+  capture those events when the trigger event occured:
+
+  # echo 'snapshot if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  To only snapshot once:
+
+  # echo 'snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  To remove the above commands:
+
+  # echo '!snapshot if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  # echo '!snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  Note that there can be only one snapshot trigger per triggering
+  event.
+
+- traceon/traceoff
+
+  These commands turn tracing on and off when the specified events are
+  hit. The parameter determines how many times the tracing system is
+  turned on and off. If unspecified, there is no limit.
+
+  The following command turns tracing off the first time a block
+  request queue is unplugged with a depth > 1.  If you were tracing a
+  set of events or functions at the time, you could then examine the
+  trace buffer to see the sequence of events that led up to the
+  trigger event:
+
+  # echo 'traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  To always disable tracing when nr_rq  > 1 :
+
+  # echo 'traceoff if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  To remove the above commands:
+
+  # echo '!traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  # echo '!traceoff if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  Note that there can be only one traceon or traceoff trigger per
+  triggering event.
