The __string() helper macro of the TRACE_EVENT() macro is used to
determine how much of the ring buffer needs to be allocated to fit the
given source string. Some trace events have a string that is dependent on
another variable that could be NULL, and in those cases the string is
passed in to be NULL.
The __string() macro can handle being passed in a NULL pointer for which
it will turn it into "(null)". It does that with:
strlen((src) ? (const char *)(src) : "(null)") + 1
But if src itself has the same conditional type it can confuse the
compiler. That is:
__string(r ? dev(r)->name : NULL)
Would turn into:
strlen((r ? dev(r)->name : NULL) ? (r ? dev(r)->name : NULL) : "(null)" + 1
For which the compiler thinks that NULL is being passed to strlen() and
gives this kind of warning:
./include/trace/stages/stage5_get_offsets.h:50:21: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]
50 | strlen((src) ? (const char *)(src) : "(null)") + 1)
Instead, create a static inline function that takes the src string and
will return the string if it is not NULL and will return "(null)" if it
is. This will then make the strlen() line:
strlen(__string_src(src)) + 1
Where the compiler can see that strlen() will not end up with NULL and
does not warn about it.
Note that this depends on commit 51270d573a8d ("tracing/net_sched: Fix
tracepoints that save qdisc_dev() as a string") being applied, as passing
the qdisc_dev() into __string_src() will give an error.

The TRACE_EVENT macros has some dependency if a __string() field is NULL,
where it will save "(null)" as the string. This string is also used by
__assign_str(). It's better to create a single macro instead of having
something that will not be caught by the compiler if there is an
unfortunate typo.

Instead of having:
#define __assign_str(dst, src) \
memcpy(__get_str(dst), __data_offsets.dst##_ptr_ ? \
__data_offsets.dst##_ptr_ : "(null)", \
__get_dynamic_array_len(dst))
Use the ? : shortcut and compact it down to:
#define __assign_str(dst, src) \
memcpy(__get_str(dst), __data_offsets.dst##_ptr_ ? : "(null)", \
__get_dynamic_array_len(dst))

string
The TRACE_EVENT() macro handles dynamic strings by having:
TP_PROTO(struct some_struct *s),
TP_ARGS(s),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(my_string, s->string)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(my_string, s->string);
)
TP_printk("%s", __get_str(my_string))
There's even some code that may call a function helper to find the
s->string value. The problem with the above is that the work to get the
s->string is done twice. Once at the __string() and again in the
__assign_str().
But the __string() uses dynamic_array() which has a helper structure that
is created holding the offsets and length of the string fields. Instead of
finding the string twice, just save it off in another field from that
helper structure, and have __assign_str() use that instead.
Note, this also means that the second parameter of __assign_str() isn't
even used anymore, and may be removed in the future.

A __field() in the TRACE_EVENT() macro is used to set up the fields of the
trace event data. It is for single storage units (word, char, int,
pointer, etc) and not for complex structures or arrays. Unfortunately,
there's nothing preventing the build from accepting:
__field(int, arr[5]);
from building. It will turn into a array value. This use to work fine, as
the offset and size use to be determined by the macro using the field name,
but things have changed and the offset and size are now determined by the
type. So the above would only be size 4, and the next field will be
located 4 bytes from it (instead of 20).
The proper way to declare static arrays is to use the __array() macro.
Instead of __field(int, arr[5]) it should be __array(int, arr, 5).
Add some macro tricks to the building of a trace event from the
TRACE_EVENT() macro such that __field(int, arr[5]) will fail to build. A
comment by the failure will explain why the build failed.

The trace events have a __bitmask field that can be used for anything
that requires bitmasks. Although currently it is only used for CPU
masks, it could be used in the future for any type of bitmasks.
There is some user space tooling that wants to know if a field is a CPU
mask and not just some random unsigned long bitmask. Introduce
"__cpumask()" helper functions that work the same as the current
__bitmask() helpers but displays in the format file:
field:__data_loc cpumask_t *[] mask; offset:36; size:4; signed:0;
Instead of:
field:__data_loc unsigned long[] mask; offset:32; size:4; signed:0;
The main difference is the type. Instead of "unsigned long" it is
"cpumask_t *". Note, this type field needs to be a real type in the
__dynamic_array() logic that both __cpumask and__bitmask use, but the
comparison field requires it to be a scalar type whereas cpumask_t is a
structure (non-scalar). But everything works when making it a pointer.
Valentin added changes to remove the need of passing in "nr_bits" and the
__cpumask will always use nr_cpumask_bits as its size.

There's several places that open code the following logic:
TP_STRUCT__entry(__dynamic_array(char, msg, MSG_MAX)),
TP_fast_assign(vsnprintf(__get_str(msg), MSG_MAX, vaf->fmt, *vaf->va);)
To load a string created by variable array va_list.
The main issue with this approach is that "MSG_MAX" usage in the
__dynamic_array() portion. That actually just reserves the MSG_MAX in the
event, and even wastes space because there's dynamic meta data also saved
in the event to denote the offset and size of the dynamic array. It would
have been better to just use a static __array() field.
Instead, create __vstring() and __assign_vstr() that work like __string
and __assign_str() but instead of taking a destination string to copy,
take a format string and a va_list pointer and fill in the values.
It uses the helper:
#define __trace_event_vstr_len(fmt, va) \
({ \
va_list __ap; \
int __ret; \
\
va_copy(__ap, *(va)); \
__ret = vsnprintf(NULL, 0, fmt, __ap) + 1; \
va_end(__ap); \
\
min(__ret, TRACE_EVENT_STR_MAX); \
})
To figure out the length to store the string. It may be slightly slower as
it needs to run the vsnprintf() twice, but it now saves space on the ring
buffer.

When looking for implementation of different phases of the creation of the
TRACE_EVENT() macro, it is pretty useless when all helper macro
redefinitions are in files labeled "stageX_defines.h". Rename them to
state which phase the files are for. For instance, when looking for the
defines that are used to create the event fields, seeing
"stage4_event_fields.h" gives the developer a good idea that the defines
are in that file.
