2 * If TRACE_SYSTEM is defined, that will be the directory created
3 * in the ftrace directory under /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/<system>
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
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
17 * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE trace-events-sample
19 * As we do an the bottom of this file.
21 * Notice that TRACE_SYSTEM should be defined outside of #if
22 * protection, just like TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.
25 #define TRACE_SYSTEM sep
28 * Notice that this file is not protected like a normal header.
29 * We also must allow for rereading of this file. The
31 * || defined(TRACE_HEADER_MULTI_READ)
33 * serves this purpose.

50 * All trace headers should include tracepoint.h, until we finally
51 * make it into a standard header.
53 #include <linux/tracepoint.h>
56 * The TRACE_EVENT macro is broken up into 5 parts.
58 * name: name of the trace point. This is also how to enable the tracepoint.
59 * A function called trace_foo_bar() will be created.
61 * proto: the prototype of the function trace_foo_bar()
62 * Here it is trace_foo_bar(char *foo, int bar).
64 * args: must match the arguments in the prototype.
65 * Here it is simply "foo, bar".
67 * struct: This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
68 * There are currently two types of elements. __field and __array.
69 * a __field is broken up into (type, name). Where type can be any
71 * For an array. there are three fields. (type, name, size). The
72 * type of elements in the array, the name of the field and the size
75 * __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying char foo[10].
77 * fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
78 * into the ring buffer.
80 * printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
81 * useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
82 * the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
84 * Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
85 * to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the

152 * There are several ways I could have done this. If I left out the
153 * TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH, then it would default to the kernel source
154 * include/trace/events directory.
156 * I could specify a path from the define_trace.h file back to this
159 * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH ../../samples/trace_events
161 * But the safest and easiest way to simply make it use the directory
162 * that the file is in is to add in the Makefile:
164 * CFLAGS_trace-events-sample.o := -I$(src)
166 * This will make sure the current path is part of the include
167 * structure for our file so that define_trace.h can find it.
169 * I could have made only the top level directory the include:
171 * CFLAGS_trace-events-sample.o := -I$(PWD)
173 * And then let the path to this directory be the TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH:
175 * #define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH samples/trace_events
177 * But then if something defines "samples" or "trace_events" as a macro
178 * then we could risk that being converted too, and give us an unexpected
181 #undef TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH
182 #undef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
183 #define TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH .
185 * TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE is not needed if the filename and TRACE_SYSTEM are equal
