I'm curious to why I didn't do this now. A class would make less duplication of typing too ;-)
Yeah, I found this in a really great article written by some tracing-dude, I hear he talks really, really fast!
I plead the 5th!
https://lwn.net/Articles/381064/
+TRACE_EVENT(tsn_buffer_write,
- TP_PROTO(struct tsn_link *link,
size_t bytes),
- TP_ARGS(link, bytes),
- TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field(u64, stream_id)
__field(size_t, size)
__field(size_t, bsize)
__field(size_t, size_left)
__field(void *, buffer)
__field(void *, head)
__field(void *, tail)
__field(void *, end)
),
- TP_fast_assign(
__entry->stream_id = link->stream_id;
__entry->size = bytes;
__entry->bsize = link->used_buffer_size;
__entry->size_left = (link->head - link->tail) % link->used_buffer_size;
Move this logic into the print statement, since you save head and tail.
Ok, any particular reason?
Because it removes calculations during the trace. The calculations done in TP_printk() are done at the time of reading the trace, and calculations done in TP_fast_assign() are done during the recording and hence adding more overhead to the trace itself.
Aha! that makes sense, thanks! (/me goes and updates the tracing-part)
