tipc: enable tracepoints in tipc
As for the sake of debugging/tracing, the commit enables tracepoints in TIPC along with some general trace_events as shown below. It also defines some 'tipc_*_dump()' functions that allow to dump TIPC object data whenever needed, that is, for general debug purposes, ie. not just for the trace_events. The following trace_events are now available: - trace_tipc_skb_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC msg & skb data, e.g. message type, user, droppable, skb truesize, cloned skb, etc. - trace_tipc_list_dump(): allows to trace and dump any TIPC buffers or queues, e.g. TIPC link transmq, socket receive queue, etc. - trace_tipc_sk_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC socket data, e.g. sk state, sk type, connection type, rmem_alloc, socket queues, etc. - trace_tipc_link_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC link data, e.g. link state, silent_intv_cnt, gap, bc_gap, link queues, etc. - trace_tipc_node_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC node data, e.g. node state, active links, capabilities, link entries, etc. How to use: Put the trace functions at any places where we want to dump TIPC data or events. Note: a) The dump functions will generate raw data only, that is, to offload the trace event's processing, it can require a tool or script to parse the data but this should be simple. b) The trace_tipc_*_dump() should be reserved for a failure cases only (e.g. the retransmission failure case) or where we do not expect to happen too often, then we can consider enabling these events by default since they will almost not take any effects under normal conditions, but once the rare condition or failure occurs, we get the dumped data fully for post-analysis. For other trace purposes, we can reuse these trace classes as template but different events. c) A trace_event is only effective when we enable it. To enable the TIPC trace_events, echo 1 to 'enable' files in the events/tipc/ directory in the 'debugfs' file system. Normally, they are located at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/ For example: To enable the tipc_link_dump event: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/tipc_link_dump/enable To enable all the TIPC trace_events: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/enable To collect the trace data: cat trace or cat trace_pipe > /trace.out & To disable all the TIPC trace_events: echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/enable To clear the trace buffer: echo > trace d) Like the other trace_events, the feature like 'filter' or 'trigger' is also usable for the tipc trace_events.
