94 - the 'execname' modifier can only be used 90 - the 'execname' modifier can only be used on a 'common_pid'. The
95 reason for this is that the execname is 91 reason for this is that the execname is simply the 'comm' value
96 saved for the 'current' process when an 92 saved for the 'current' process when an event was triggered,

1010 hist trigger can also be started in a pause 1000 hist trigger can also be started in a paused state by initially
1011 starting the trigger with ':pause' appended 1001 starting the trigger with ':pause' appended. This allows you to
1012 start the trigger only when you're ready to 1002 start the trigger only when you're ready to start collecting data
1013 and not before. For example, you could sta 1003 and not before. For example, you could start the trigger in a
1014 paused state, then unpause it and do someth 1004 paused state, then unpause it and do something you want to measure,
1015 then pause the trigger again when done. 1005 then pause the trigger again when done.

1017 Of course, doing this manually can be diffi 1007 Of course, doing this manually can be difficult and error-prone, but
1018 it is possible to automatically start and s 1008 it is possible to automatically start and stop a hist trigger based

1021 For example, suppose we wanted to take a lo 1011 For example, suppose we wanted to take a look at the relative
1022 weights in terms of skb length for each cal 1012 weights in terms of skb length for each callpath that leads to a
1023 netif_receive_skb event when downloading a 1013 netif_receive_skb event when downloading a decent-sized file using
1024 wget. 1014 wget.
1025 1015
1026 First we set up an initially paused stacktr 1016 First we set up an initially paused stacktrace trigger on the
1027 netif_receive_skb event:: 1017 netif_receive_skb event::
1028 1018

1032 Next, we set up an 'enable_hist' trigger on 1022 Next, we set up an 'enable_hist' trigger on the sched_process_exec
1033 event, with an 'if filename==/usr/bin/wget' 1023 event, with an 'if filename==/usr/bin/wget' filter. The effect of
1034 this new trigger is that it will 'unpause' 1024 this new trigger is that it will 'unpause' the hist trigger we just
1035 set up on netif_receive_skb if and only if 1025 set up on netif_receive_skb if and only if it sees a
1036 sched_process_exec event with a filename of 1026 sched_process_exec event with a filename of '/usr/bin/wget'. When
1037 that happens, all netif_receive_skb events 1027 that happens, all netif_receive_skb events are aggregated into a
1038 hash table keyed on stacktrace:: 1028 hash table keyed on stacktrace::

1043 The aggregation continues until the netif_r 1033 The aggregation continues until the netif_receive_skb is paused
1044 again, which is what the following disable_ 1034 again, which is what the following disable_hist event does by
1045 creating a similar setup on the sched_proce 1035 creating a similar setup on the sched_process_exit event, using the
1046 filter 'comm==wget':: 1036 filter 'comm==wget'::

1050 1040
1051 Whenever a process exits and the comm field 1041 Whenever a process exits and the comm field of the disable_hist
1052 trigger filter matches 'comm==wget', the ne 1042 trigger filter matches 'comm==wget', the netif_receive_skb hist
1053 trigger is disabled. 1043 trigger is disabled.
1054 1044
1055 The overall effect is that netif_receive_sk 1045 The overall effect is that netif_receive_skb events are aggregated
1056 into the hash table for only the duration o 1046 into the hash table for only the duration of the wget. Executing a

1642 features have been added to the hist trigger 1632 features have been added to the hist trigger support:
1643 1633
1644 - In order to compute an inter-event quanti 1634 - In order to compute an inter-event quantity, a value from one
1645 event needs to saved and then referenced 1635 event needs to saved and then referenced from another event. This
1646 requires the introduction of support for 1636 requires the introduction of support for histogram 'variables'.

1648 - The computation of inter-event quantities 1638 - The computation of inter-event quantities and their combination
1649 require some minimal amount of support fo 1639 require some minimal amount of support for applying simple
1650 expressions to variables (+ and -). 1640 expressions to variables (+ and -).
1651 1641
1652 - A histogram consisting of inter-event qua 1642 - A histogram consisting of inter-event quantities isn't logically a
1653 histogram on either event (so having the 1643 histogram on either event (so having the 'hist' file for either
1654 event host the histogram output doesn't r 1644 event host the histogram output doesn't really make sense). To
1655 address the idea that the histogram is as 1645 address the idea that the histogram is associated with a
1656 combination of events, support is added a 1646 combination of events, support is added allowing the creation of
1657 'synthetic' events that are events derive 1647 'synthetic' events that are events derived from other events.
1658 These synthetic events are full-fledged e 1648 These synthetic events are full-fledged events just like any other
1659 and can be used as such, as for instance 1649 and can be used as such, as for instance to create the
1660 'combination' histograms mentioned previo 1650 'combination' histograms mentioned previously.
1661 1651
1662 - A set of 'actions' can be associated with 1652 - A set of 'actions' can be associated with histogram entries -
1663 these can be used to generate the previou 1653 these can be used to generate the previously mentioned synthetic
1664 events, but can also be used for other pu 1654 events, but can also be used for other purposes, such as for
1665 example saving context when a 'max' laten 1655 example saving context when a 'max' latency has been hit.
1666 1656
1667 - Trace events don't have a 'timestamp' ass 1657 - Trace events don't have a 'timestamp' associated with them, but
1668 there is an implicit timestamp saved alon 1658 there is an implicit timestamp saved along with an event in the
1669 underlying ftrace ring buffer. This time 1659 underlying ftrace ring buffer. This timestamp is now exposed as a
1670 a synthetic field named 'common_timestamp 1660 a synthetic field named 'common_timestamp' which can be used in
1671 histograms as if it were any other event 1661 histograms as if it were any other event field; it isn't an actual
1672 field in the trace format but rather is a 1662 field in the trace format but rather is a synthesized value that
1673 nonetheless can be used as if it were an 1663 nonetheless can be used as if it were an actual field. By default
1674 it is in units of nanoseconds; appending 1664 it is in units of nanoseconds; appending '.usecs' to a
1675 common_timestamp field changes the units 1665 common_timestamp field changes the units to microseconds.

1678 histogram, the trace buffer is automatically 1668 histogram, the trace buffer is automatically switched over to using
1679 absolute timestamps and the "global" trace cl 1669 absolute timestamps and the "global" trace clock, in order to avoid
1680 bogus timestamp differences with other clocks 1670 bogus timestamp differences with other clocks that aren't coherent
1681 across CPUs. This can be overridden by speci 1671 across CPUs. This can be overridden by specifying one of the other
1682 trace clocks instead, using the "clock=XXX" h 1672 trace clocks instead, using the "clock=XXX" hist trigger attribute,
1683 where XXX is any of the clocks listed in the 1673 where XXX is any of the clocks listed in the tracing/trace_clock

1686 These features are described in more detail i 1676 These features are described in more detail in the following sections.

1688 2.2.1 Histogram Variables 1678 2.2.1 Histogram Variables
1689 ------------------------- 1679 -------------------------
1690 1680
1691 Variables are simply named locations used for 1681 Variables are simply named locations used for saving and retrieving
1692 values between matching events. A 'matching' 1682 values between matching events. A 'matching' event is defined as an
1693 event that has a matching key - if a variable 1683 event that has a matching key - if a variable is saved for a histogram
1694 entry corresponding to that key, any subseque 1684 entry corresponding to that key, any subsequent event with a matching
1695 key can access that variable. 1685 key can access that variable.
1696 1686
1697 A variable's value is normally available to a 1687 A variable's value is normally available to any subsequent event until
1698 it is set to something else by a subsequent e 1688 it is set to something else by a subsequent event. The one exception
1699 to that rule is that any variable used in an 1689 to that rule is that any variable used in an expression is essentially
1700 'read-once' - once it's used by an expression 1690 'read-once' - once it's used by an expression in a subsequent event,
1701 it's reset to its 'unset' state, which means 1691 it's reset to its 'unset' state, which means it can't be used again
1702 unless it's set again. This ensures not only 1692 unless it's set again. This ensures not only that an event doesn't
1703 use an uninitialized variable in a calculatio 1693 use an uninitialized variable in a calculation, but that that variable
1704 is used only once and not for any unrelated s 1694 is used only once and not for any unrelated subsequent match.
1705 1695
1706 The basic syntax for saving a variable is to 1696 The basic syntax for saving a variable is to simply prefix a unique
1707 variable name not corresponding to any keywor 1697 variable name not corresponding to any keyword along with an '=' sign
1708 to any event field. 1698 to any event field.
1709 1699
1710 Either keys or values can be saved and retrie 1700 Either keys or values can be saved and retrieved in this way. This
1711 creates a variable named 'ts0' for a histogra 1701 creates a variable named 'ts0' for a histogram entry with the key
1712 'next_pid':: 1702 'next_pid'::
1713 1703
1714 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=co 1704 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp ... >> \
1715 event/trigger 1705 event/trigger
1716 1706
1717 The ts0 variable can be accessed by any subse 1707 The ts0 variable can be accessed by any subsequent event having the
1718 same pid as 'next_pid'. 1708 same pid as 'next_pid'.

1720 Variable references are formed by prepending 1710 Variable references are formed by prepending the variable name with
1721 the '$' sign. Thus for example, the ts0 vari 1711 the '$' sign. Thus for example, the ts0 variable above would be
1722 referenced as '$ts0' in expressions. 1712 referenced as '$ts0' in expressions.

1724 Because 'vals=' is used, the common_timestamp 1714 Because 'vals=' is used, the common_timestamp variable value above
1725 will also be summed as a normal histogram val 1715 will also be summed as a normal histogram value would (though for a

1732 If a variable isn't a key variable or prefixe 1722 If a variable isn't a key variable or prefixed with 'vals=', the
1733 associated event field will be saved in a var 1723 associated event field will be saved in a variable but won't be summed

1737 1727
1738 Multiple variables can be assigned at the sam 1728 Multiple variables can be assigned at the same time. The below would
1739 result in both ts0 and b being created as var 1729 result in both ts0 and b being created as variables, with both

2103 When a histogram entry is added or updated, a 1846 When a histogram entry is added or updated, a hist trigger 'handler'
2104 is what decides whether the corresponding act 1847 is what decides whether the corresponding action is actually invoked
2105 or not. 1848 or not.
2106 1849
2107 Hist trigger handlers and actions are paired 1850 Hist trigger handlers and actions are paired together in the general
2108 form: 1851 form:
2109 1852
2110 <handler>.<action> 1853 <handler>.<action>

2122 always has been, to simply update the set of 1865 always has been, to simply update the set of values associated with an
2123 entry. Some applications, however, may want 1866 entry. Some applications, however, may want to perform additional
2124 actions at that point, such as generate anoth 1867 actions at that point, such as generate another event, or compare and
2125 save a maximum. 1868 save a maximum.
2126 1869
2127 The supported handlers and actions are listed 1870 The supported handlers and actions are listed below, and each is
2128 described in more detail in the following par 1871 described in more detail in the following paragraphs, in the context
2129 of descriptions of some common and useful han 1872 of descriptions of some common and useful handler.action combinations.

2149 and the histogram entry would be added or 1892 and the histogram entry would be added or updated. It causes the
2150 named synthetic event to be generated wit 1893 named synthetic event to be generated with the values given in the
2151 'param list'. The result is the generati 1894 'param list'. The result is the generation of a synthetic event
2152 that consists of the values contained in 1895 that consists of the values contained in those variables at the
2153 time the invoking event was hit. For exa 1896 time the invoking event was hit. For example, if the synthetic
2154 event name is 'wakeup_latency', a wakeup_ 1897 event name is 'wakeup_latency', a wakeup_latency event is
2155 generated using onmatch(event).trace(wake 1898 generated using onmatch(event).trace(wakeup_latency,arg1,arg2).

2157 There is also an equivalent alternative f 1900 There is also an equivalent alternative form available for
2158 generating synthetic events. In this for 1901 generating synthetic events. In this form, the synthetic event
2159 name is used as if it were a function nam 1902 name is used as if it were a function name. For example, using
2160 the 'wakeup_latency' synthetic event name 1903 the 'wakeup_latency' synthetic event name again, the
2161 wakeup_latency event would be generated b 1904 wakeup_latency event would be generated by invoking it as if it

2562 The above created a synthetic event called "l 2305 The above created a synthetic event called "latency" and two histograms
2563 against the trace_marker, one gets triggered 2306 against the trace_marker, one gets triggered when "start" is written into the
2564 trace_marker file and the other when "end" is 2307 trace_marker file and the other when "end" is written. If the pids match, then
2565 it will call the "latency" synthetic event wi 2308 it will call the "latency" synthetic event with the calculated latency as its
2566 parameter. Finally, a histogram is added to t 2309 parameter. Finally, a histogram is added to the latency synthetic event to
2567 record the calculated latency along with the 2310 record the calculated latency along with the pid.

2877 microseconds. If you are wondering how there 2620 microseconds. If you are wondering how there are several that are under
2878 250 microseconds, that is because the way cyc 2621 250 microseconds, that is because the way cyclictest works, is if one
2879 iteration comes in late, the next one will se 2622 iteration comes in late, the next one will set the timer to wake up less that
2880 250. That is, if an iteration came in 50 micr 2623 250. That is, if an iteration came in 50 microseconds late, the next wake up
2881 will be at 200 microseconds. 2624 will be at 200 microseconds.

2883 But this could easily be done in userspace. T 2626 But this could easily be done in userspace. To make this even more
2884 interesting, we can mix the histogram between 2627 interesting, we can mix the histogram between events that happened in the
2885 kernel with trace_marker:: 2628 kernel with trace_marker::
2886 2629
2887 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing 2630 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
2888 # echo 'latency u64 lat' > synthetic_events 2631 # echo 'latency u64 lat' > synthetic_events
2889 # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.u 2632 # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
2890 # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_time 2633 # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).latency($lat) if buf == "end"' > events/ftrace/print/trigger
2891 # echo 'hist:keys=lat,common_pid:sort=lat' > 2634 # echo 'hist:keys=lat,common_pid:sort=lat' > events/synthetic/latency/trigger
2892 2635
2893 The difference this time is that instead of u 2636 The difference this time is that instead of using the trace_marker to start
2894 the latency, the sched_waking event is used, 2637 the latency, the sched_waking event is used, matching the common_pid for the
2895 trace_marker write with the pid that is being 2638 trace_marker write with the pid that is being woken by sched_waking.
