Subject: [PATCH] kthread: Add kthread_work tracepoints

From: Rob Clark <[email protected]>

While migrating some code from wq to kthread_worker, I found that I
missed the execute_start/end tracepoints. So add similar tracepoints
for kthread_work. And for completeness, queue_work tracepoint (although
this one differs slightly from the matching workqueue tracepoint).

Please combine the above into:

DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(sched_kthread_work_execute_template,

TP_PROTO(struct kthread_work *work),

TP_ARGS(work),

TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field( void *, work )
__field( void *, function)
),

TP_fast_assign(
__entry->work = work;
__entry->function = work->func;
),

TP_printk("work struct %p: function %ps", __entry->work, __entry->function)
);

DEFINE_EVENT(sched_kthread_work_execute_template, sched_kthread_work_execute_start,
TP_PROTO(struct kthread_work *work),
TP_ARGS(work));

DEFINE_EVENT(sched_kthread_work_execute_template, sched_kthread_work_execute_end,
TP_PROTO(struct kthread_work *work),
TP_ARGS(work));

As events are cheap, classes are expensive (size wise), and a TRACE_EVENT()
is really just a CLASS and EVENT for a single instance.

I think we cannot quite do this, because we should not rely on being
able to dereference work after it finishes. Although I suppose I
could just define it to explicitly pass the fxn ptr to both
tracepoints..

Ah I missed seeing that one used work->func and the other passed in the
function.

But yes, I would rather see that. It could save up to 5K in text and data.
