2 * If TRACE_SYSTEM is defined, that will be the directory created
088a4eed 3 * in the ftrace directory under /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/<system>
9cfe06f8 4 *
44ad18e0 5 * The define_trace.h below will also look for a file name of
9cfe06f8 6 * TRACE_SYSTEM.h where TRACE_SYSTEM is what is defined here.
44ad18e0 7 * In this case, it would look for sample.h

9 * If the header name will be different than the system name
10 * (as in this case), then you can override the header name that
11 * define_trace.h will look up by defining TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE

13 * This file is called trace-events-sample.h but we want the system
14 * to be called "sample". Therefore we must define the name of this
15 * file:
9cfe06f8 16 *
44ad18e0 17 * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE trace-events-sample
9cfe06f8 18 *
44ad18e0 19 * As we do an the bottom of this file.

22 * protection, just like TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.

45 * The TRACE_EVENT macro is broken up into 5 parts.
46 *
47 * name: name of the trace point. This is also how to enable the tracepoint.
48 * A function called trace_foo_bar() will be created.
49 *
50 * proto: the prototype of the function trace_foo_bar()
51 * Here it is trace_foo_bar(char *foo, int bar).
52 *
53 * args: must match the arguments in the prototype.
54 * Here it is simply "foo, bar".
55 *
56 * struct: This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
57 * There are currently two types of elements. __field and __array.
58 * a __field is broken up into (type, name). Where type can be any
59 * type but an array.
60 * For an array. there are three fields. (type, name, size). The
61 * type of elements in the array, the name of the field and the size
62 * of the array.
63 *
64 * __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying char foo[10].
65 *
66 * fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
67 * into the ring buffer.
68 *
69 * printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
70 * useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
71 * the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
72 *
73 * Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
74 * to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the
75 * TP_STRUCT__entry.

101 * There are several ways I could have done this. If I left out the
102 * TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH, then it would default to the kernel source
103 * include/trace/events directory.
104 *
105 * I could specify a path from the define_trace.h file back to this
106 * file.
107 *
108 * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH ../../samples/trace_events
109 *
44ad18e0
SR
110 * But the safest and easiest way to simply make it use the directory
111 * that the file is in is to add in the Makefile:
9cfe06f8 112 *
44ad18e0 113 * CFLAGS_trace-events-sample.o := -I$(src)
9cfe06f8
SR
114 *
115 * This will make sure the current path is part of the include
44ad18e0 116 * structure for our file so that define_trace.h can find it.
9cfe06f8
SR
117 *
118 * I could have made only the top level directory the include:
119 *
120 * CFLAGS_trace-events-sample.o := -I$(PWD)
121 *
122 * And then let the path to this directory be the TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH:
123 *
124 * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH samples/trace_events
125 *
44ad18e0
SR
126 * But then if something defines "samples" or "trace_events" as a macro
127 * then we could risk that being converted too, and give us an unexpected
9cfe06f8
SR
128 * result.
