  2. * If TRACE_SYSTEM is defined, that will be the directory created
  3. * in the ftrace directory under /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/<system>
  4. *
  5. * The define_trace.h below will also look for a file name of
  6. * TRACE_SYSTEM.h where TRACE_SYSTEM is what is defined here.
  7. * In this case, it would look for sample.h
  8. *
  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
  12. *
  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:
  16. *
  17. * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE trace-events-sample
  18. *
  19. * As we do an the bottom of this file.
  20. *
  21. * Notice that TRACE_SYSTEM should be defined outside of #if
  22. * protection, just like TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.

  42. * The TRACE_EVENT macro is broken up into 5 parts.
  43. *
  44. * name: name of the trace point. This is also how to enable the tracepoint.
  45. * A function called trace_foo_bar() will be created.
  46. *
  47. * proto: the prototype of the function trace_foo_bar()
  48. * Here it is trace_foo_bar(char *foo, int bar).
  49. *
  50. * args: must match the arguments in the prototype.
  51. * Here it is simply "foo, bar".
  52. *
  53. * struct: This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
  54. * There are currently two types of elements. __field and __array.
  55. * a __field is broken up into (type, name). Where type can be any
  56. * type but an array.
  57. * For an array. there are three fields. (type, name, size). The
  58. * type of elements in the array, the name of the field and the size
  59. * of the array.
  60. *
  61. * __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying char foo[10].
  62. *
  63. * fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
  64. * into the ring buffer.
  65. *
  66. * printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
  67. * useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
  68. * the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
  69. *
  70. * Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
  71. * to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the
  72. * TP_STRUCT__entry.

  90. * There are several ways I could have done this. If I left out the
  91. * TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH, then it would default to the kernel source
  92. * include/trace/events directory.

  94. * I could specify a path from the define_trace.h file back to this
  95. * file.

  97. * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH ../../samples/trace_events
  98. *
  99. * But the safest and easiest way to simply make it use the directory
  100. * that the file is in is to add in the Makefile:
  101. *
  102. * CFLAGS_trace-events-sample.o := -I$(src)
  103. *
  104. * This will make sure the current path is part of the include
  105. * structure for our file so that define_trace.h can find it.

  107. * I could have made only the top level directory the include:
  108. *
  109. * CFLAGS_trace-events-sample.o := -I$(PWD)

  111. * And then let the path to this directory be the TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH:
  112. *
  113. * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH samples/trace_events

  117. * result.
