user_events: Add minimal support for trace_event into ftrace Minimal support for interacting with dynamic events, trace_event and ftrace. Core outline of flow between user process, ioctl and trace_event APIs. User mode processes that wish to use trace events to get data into ftrace, perf, eBPF, etc are limited to uprobes today. The user events features enables an ABI for user mode processes to create and write to trace events that are isolated from kernel level trace events. This enables a faster path for tracing from user mode data as well as opens managed code to participate in trace events, where stub locations are dynamic. User processes often want to trace only when it's useful. To enable this a set of pages are mapped into the user process space that indicate the current state of the user events that have been registered. User processes can check if their event is hooked to a trace/probe, and if it is, emit the event data out via the write() syscall. Two new files are introduced into tracefs to accomplish this: user_events_status - This file is mmap'd into participating user mode processes to indicate event status. user_events_data - This file is opened and register/delete ioctl's are issued to create/open/delete trace events that can be used for tracing. The typical scenario is on process start to mmap user_events_status. Processes then register the events they plan to use via the REG ioctl. The ioctl reads and updates the passed in user_reg struct. The status_index of the struct is used to know the byte in the status page to check for that event. The write_index of the struct is used to describe that event when writing out to the fd that was used for the ioctl call. The data must always include this index first when writing out data for an event. Data can be written either by write() or by writev(). For example, in memory: int index; char data[]; Psuedo code example of typical usage: struct user_reg reg; int page_fd = open("user_events_status", O_RDWR); char *page_data = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, page_fd, 0); close(page_fd); int data_fd = open("user_events_data", O_RDWR); reg.size = sizeof(reg); reg.name_args = (__u64)"test"; ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSREG, &reg); int status_id = reg.status_index; int write_id = reg.write_index; struct iovec io[2]; io[0].iov_base = &write_id; io[0].iov_len = sizeof(write_id); io[1].iov_base = payload; io[1].iov_len = sizeof(payload); if (page_data[status_id]) writev(data_fd, io, 2); User events are also exposed via the dynamic_events tracefs file for both create and delete. Current status is exposed via the user_events_status tracefs file. Simple example to register a user event via dynamic_events: echo u:test >> dynamic_events cat dynamic_events u:test If an event is hooked to a probe, the probe hooked shows up: echo 1 > events/user_events/test/enable cat user_events_status 1:test # Used by ftrace Active: 1 Busy: 1 Max: 4096 If an event is not hooked to a probe, no probe status shows up: echo 0 > events/user_events/test/enable cat user_events_status 1:test Active: 1 Busy: 0 Max: 4096 Users can describe the trace event format via the following format: name[:FLAG1[,FLAG2...] [field1[;field2...]] Each field has the following format: type name Example for char array with a size of 20 named msg: echo 'u:detailed char[20] msg' >> dynamic_events cat dynamic_events u:detailed char[20] msg Data offsets are based on the data written out via write() and will be updated to reflect the correct offset in the trace_event fields. For dynamic data it is recommended to use the new __rel_loc data type. This type will be the same as __data_loc, but the offset is relative to this entry. This allows user_events to not worry about what common fields are being inserted before the data. The above format is valid for both the ioctl and the dynamic_events file.

tracing/user_events: Use remote writes for event enablement As part of the discussions for user_events aligned with user space tracers, it was determined that user programs should register a aligned value to set or clear a bit when an event becomes enabled. Currently a shared page is being used that requires mmap(). Remove the shared page implementation and move to a user registered address implementation. In this new model during the event registration from user programs 3 new values are specified. The first is the address to update when the event is either enabled or disabled. The second is the bit to set/clear to reflect the event being enabled. The third is the size of the value at the specified address. This allows for a local 32/64-bit value in user programs to support both kernel and user tracers. As an example, setting bit 31 for kernel tracers when the event becomes enabled allows for user tracers to use the other bits for ref counts or other flags. The kernel side updates the bit atomically, user programs need to also update these values atomically. User provided addresses must be aligned on a natural boundary, this allows for single page checking and prevents odd behaviors such as a enable value straddling 2 pages instead of a single page. Currently page faults are only logged, future patches will handle these.
