2020-10-13tools lib traceevent: Hide non API functionsTzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)1-1/+1
There are internal library functions, which are not declared as a static. They are used inside the library from different files. Hide them from the library users, as they are not part of the API. These functions are made hidden and are renamed without the prefix "tep_": tep_free_plugin_paths tep_peek_char tep_buffer_init tep_get_input_buf_ptr tep_get_input_buf tep_read_token tep_free_token tep_free_event tep_free_format_field __tep_parse_format Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/[email protected]/ Reported-by: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

2020-07-06tools lib traceevent: Introduced new traceevent API, for adding new plugins ↵Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)1-0/+70
directories. Implement new traceevent plugin API, which can be used to add new plugins directories: enum tep_plugin_load_priority { TEP_PLUGIN_FIRST, TEP_PLUGIN_LAST, }; int tep_add_plugin_path(struct tep_handle *tep, char *path, enum tep_plugin_load_priority prio); It adds the "path" as new plugin directory, in the context of the handler "tep". The tep_load_plugins() API searches for plugins in this new location. Depending of the priority "prio", the plugins from this directory are loaded before (TEP_PLUGIN_FIRST) or after (TEP_PLUGIN_LAST) the ordinary libtraceevent plugin locations.

Add tep_plugin_add_option() and tep_plugin_print_options() to lib traceevent library that allows plugins to have their own options. For example, the function plugin by default does not print the parent, as it uses the parent to do the indenting. The "parent" option is created by the function plugin that will print the parent of the function like it does in the trace file. The tep_plugin_print_options() will print out the list of options that a Cc: Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) <[email protected]> plugin has defined.

2014-06-07tools 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.

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 <[email protected]> Cc: Corey Ashford <[email protected]> Cc: David Ahern <[email protected]> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
