tracing/treewide: Remove second parameter of __assign_str()

2024-05-23T00:14:47+00:00

With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper value and does not need to be passed in again. This means that with: __string(field, mystring) Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str() will now only get a single parameter. There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script: git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do sed -e 's/$__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]$ *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file; mv /tmp/test-file $a; done I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch. Note, the same updates will need to be done for: __assign_str_len() __assign_rel_str() __assign_rel_str_len() I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

tracing: initcall: Ordered comparison of function pointers

2018-04-26T19:02:46+00:00

Using initcall_t in the __field macro generates the following warning with clang version 6.0: include/trace/events/initcall.h:34:3: warning: ordered comparison of function pointers ('initcall_t' (aka 'int (*)(void)') and 'initcall_t') __field macro expands to __field_ext macro which does is_signed_type check on the type argument. Since initcall_t is defined as a function pointer, using it as the type in the __field macro, leads to an ordered comparison of function pointer warning, inside the check. Using __field_struct macro avoids the issue.

init, tracing: Add initcall trace events

2018-04-06T12:56:54+00:00

Being able to trace the start and stop of initcalls is useful to see where the timings are an issue. There is already an "initcall_debug" parameter, but that can cause a large overhead itself, as the printing of the information may take longer than the initcall functions. Adding in a start and finish trace event around the initcall functions, as well as a trace event that records the level of the initcalls, one can get a much finer measurement of the times and interactions of the initcalls themselves, as trace events are much lighter than printk()s.
