libtraceevent from pevent to tep "pevent" to "tep" renaming of: - all "pevent" input arguments of libtraceevent internal functions. - all local "pevent" variables of libtraceevent.

2018-01-17tools lib traceevent: Use asprintf when possibleFederico Vaga1-15/+9
It makes the code clearer and less error prone. clearer: - less code - the code is now using the same format to create strings dynamically less error prone: - no magic number +2 +9 +5 to compute the size - no copy&paste of the strings to compute the size and to concatenate The function `asprintf` is not POSIX standard but the program was already using it. Later it can be decided to use only POSIX functions, then we can easly replace all the `asprintf(3)` with a local implementation of that function.

2015-03-24tools lib traceevent: Make plugin options either string or booleanSteven Rostedt1-6/+54
When a plugin option is defined, by default it is a boolean (true or false). If the option is something else, then it needs to set its "value" field to a default string other than NULL (can be just ""). If the value is not set then the option is considered boolean, and the updating of the option value will be handled accordingly.

2014-06-08tools lib traceevent: Add options to pluginsSteven Rostedt1-0/+196
The traceevent plugins allows developers to have their events print out information that is more advanced than what can be achieved by the trace event format files. As these plugins are used on the userspace side of the tracing tools, it is only logical that the tools should be able to produce different types of output for the events. The types of events still need to be defined by the plugins thus we need a way to pass information from the tool to the plugin to specify what type of information to be shown. Not only does the information need to be passed by the tool to plugin, but the plugin also requires a way to notify the tool of what options it can provide. This builds the plugin option infrastructure that is taken from trace-cmd that is used to allow plugins to produce different output based on the options specified by the tool.

Add a flag to pevent that will let the callers be able to set it and keep the system, and perhaps even normal plugins from being loaded.

2013-12-04tools lib traceevent: Add plugin supportJiri Olsa1-0/+202
Backporting plugin support for traceevent lib. Backported from Steven Rostedt's trace-cmd repo (HEAD 0f2c2fb): git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/trace-cmd.git It's now possible to use following interface to load plugins (shared objects) to enhance pevent object functionality. The plugin interface/hooks are as follows: (taken from event-parse.h comments) - 'pevent_plugin_loader' (required) The function name to initialized the plugin. int pevent_plugin_loader(struct pevent *pevent) - 'pevent_plugin_unloader' (optional) The function called just before unloading int pevent_plugin_unloader(void) - 'pevent_plugin_options' (optional) Plugin options that can be set before loading struct plugin_option pevent_plugin_options[] = { { .name = "option-name", .plugin_alias = "overide-file-name", (optional) .description = "description of option to show users", }, { .name = NULL, }, }; Array must end with .name = NULL; The plugin_alias (below) can be used to give a shorter name to access the variable. Useful if a plugin handles more than one event. NOTE options support is not backported yet. - 'pevent_plugin_alias' (optional) The name to use for finding options (uses filename if not defined) New traceevent functions are added to search and load available plugins: struct plugin_list* traceevent_load_plugins(struct pevent *pevent) - loads plusing for 'struct pevent' object and returns loaded plugins list void traceevent_unload_plugins(struct plugin_list *plugin_list); - unload plugin list Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1386076182-14484-3-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
