[PATCH] tracing: Sample module to demonstrate kernel access to Ftrace
Hi,
This patch is for a sample module to demonstrate the use of APIs that
were introduced/exported in order to access Ftrace instances from within the kernel.
Please Note: This module is dependent on -
- commit: f45d122 tracing: Kernel access to Ftrace instances
- Patches pending review: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
The sample module creates/lookup a trace array called sample-instance on module load time.
We then start a kernel thread(simple-thread) to -
1) Enable tracing for event "sample_event" to buffer associated with the trace array - "sample-instance".
2) Start a timer that will disable tracing to this buffer after 5 sec. (Tracing disabled after 5 sec ie at count=4)
3) Write to the buffer using trace_array_printk()
4) Stop the kernel thread and destroy the buffer during module unload.
A sample output for the same -
# tracer: nop

# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 16/16 #P:4

Let me know if you have any questions.

This is a sample module to demostrate the use of the newly introduced and
exported APIs to access Ftrace instances from within the kernel.
Newly introduced APIs used here -
1. Create a new trace array if it does not exist.
struct trace_array *trace_array_create(const char *name)
2. Destroy/Remove a trace array.
int trace_array_destroy(struct trace_array *tr)
3. Lookup a trace array, given its name.
struct trace_array *trace_array_lookup(const char *name)
4. Enable/Disable trace events:
int trace_array_set_clr_event(struct trace_array *tr, const char *system,
const char *event, int set);
Exported APIs -
1. trace_printk equivalent for instances.
int trace_array_printk(struct trace_array *tr,
unsigned long ip, const char *fmt, ...);
2. Helper function.
void trace_printk_init_buffers(void);
3. To decrement the reference counter.
void trace_array_put(struct trace_array *tr)

Hi Steven,
Thanks for taking a look.
This sample module is dependent on -

I mentioned it in the cover page, but will add to this patch as well to avoid confusion.
So, I think the messages you are seeing is due to the absence of
Patches pending review: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

For reference, adding the cover page details here -

The sample module creates/lookup a trace array called sample-instance on module load time.
We then start a kernel thread(simple-thread) to -
1) Enable tracing for event "sample_event" to buffer associated with the trace array - "sample-instance".
2) Start a timer that will disable tracing to this buffer after 5 sec. (Tracing disabled after 5 sec ie at count=4)
