1. Introduction
===============

Tracepoints (see Documentation/trace/tracepoints.txt) can be used
without creating custom kernel modules to register probe functions
using the event tracing infrastructure.

Not all tracepoints can be traced using the event tracing system;
the kernel developer must provide code snippets which define how the
tracing information is saved into the tracing buffer, and how the
tracing information should be printed.

2. Using Event Tracing
======================

2.1 Via the 'set_event' interface
---------------------------------

The events which are available for tracing can be found in the file
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/available_events.

To enable a particular event, such as 'sched_wakeup', simply echo it
to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event. For example::

	# echo sched_wakeup >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event

.. Note:: '>>' is necessary, otherwise it will firstly disable all the events.

To disable an event, echo the event name to the set_event file prefixed
with an exclamation point::

	# echo '!sched_wakeup' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event

To disable all events, echo an empty line to the set_event file::

	# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event

To enable all events, echo ``*:*`` or ``*:`` to the set_event file::

	# echo *:* > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event

The events are organized into subsystems, such as ext4, irq, sched,
etc., and a full event name looks like this: <subsystem>:<event>.  The
subsystem name is optional, but it is displayed in the available_events
file.  All of the events in a subsystem can be specified via the syntax
``<subsystem>:*``; for example, to enable all irq events, you can use the
command::

	# echo 'irq:*' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event

2.2 Via the 'enable' toggle
---------------------------

The events available are also listed in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/ hierarchy
of directories.

To enable event 'sched_wakeup'::

	# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable

To disable it::

	# echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable

To enable all events in sched subsystem::

	# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable

To enable all events::

	# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable

When reading one of these enable files, there are four results:

 - 0 - all events this file affects are disabled
 - 1 - all events this file affects are enabled
 - X - there is a mixture of events enabled and disabled
 - ? - this file does not affect any event

2.3 Boot option
---------------

In order to facilitate early boot debugging, use boot option::

	trace_event=[event-list]

event-list is a comma separated list of events. See section 2.1 for event
format.

3. Defining an event-enabled tracepoint
=======================================

See The example provided in samples/trace_events

4. Event formats
================

Each trace event has a 'format' file associated with it that contains
a description of each field in a logged event.  This information can
be used to parse the binary trace stream, and is also the place to
find the field names that can be used in event filters (see section 5).

It also displays the format string that will be used to print the
event in text mode, along with the event name and ID used for
profiling.

Every event has a set of ``common`` fields associated with it; these are
the fields prefixed with ``common_``.  The other fields vary between
events and correspond to the fields defined in the TRACE_EVENT
definition for that event.

Each field in the format has the form::

     field:field-type field-name; offset:N; size:N;

where offset is the offset of the field in the trace record and size
is the size of the data item, in bytes.

For example, here's the information displayed for the 'sched_wakeup'
event::

	# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/format

	name: sched_wakeup
	ID: 60
	format:
		field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;
		field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;
		field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;
		field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;
		field:int common_tgid;	offset:8;	size:4;

		field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];	offset:12;	size:16;
		field:pid_t pid;	offset:28;	size:4;
		field:int prio;	offset:32;	size:4;
		field:int success;	offset:36;	size:4;
		field:int cpu;	offset:40;	size:4;

	print fmt: "task %s:%d [%d] success=%d [%03d]", REC->comm, REC->pid,
		   REC->prio, REC->success, REC->cpu

This event contains 10 fields, the first 5 common and the remaining 5
event-specific.  All the fields for this event are numeric, except for
'comm' which is a string, a distinction important for event filtering.

5. Event filtering
==================

Trace events can be filtered in the kernel by associating boolean
'filter expressions' with them.  As soon as an event is logged into
the trace buffer, its fields are checked against the filter expression
associated with that event type.  An event with field values that
'match' the filter will appear in the trace output, and an event whose
values don't match will be discarded.  An event with no filter
associated with it matches everything, and is the default when no
filter has been set for an event.

5.1 Expression syntax
---------------------

A filter expression consists of one or more 'predicates' that can be
combined using the logical operators '&&' and '||'.  A predicate is
simply a clause that compares the value of a field contained within a
logged event with a constant value and returns either 0 or 1 depending
on whether the field value matched (1) or didn't match (0)::

	  field-name relational-operator value

Parentheses can be used to provide arbitrary logical groupings and
double-quotes can be used to prevent the shell from interpreting
operators as shell metacharacters.

The field-names available for use in filters can be found in the
'format' files for trace events (see section 4).

The relational-operators depend on the type of the field being tested:

The operators available for numeric fields are:

==, !=, <, <=, >, >=, &

And for string fields they are:

==, !=, ~

The glob (~) accepts a wild card character (\*,?) and character classes
([). For example::

  prev_comm ~ "*sh"
  prev_comm ~ "sh*"
  prev_comm ~ "*sh*"
  prev_comm ~ "ba*sh"

5.2 Setting filters
-------------------

A filter for an individual event is set by writing a filter expression
to the 'filter' file for the given event.

For example::

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup
	# echo "common_preempt_count > 4" > filter

A slightly more involved example::

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/signal/signal_generate
	# echo "((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || sig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter

If there is an error in the expression, you'll get an 'Invalid
argument' error when setting it, and the erroneous string along with
an error message can be seen by looking at the filter e.g.::

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/signal/signal_generate
	# echo "((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter
	-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
	# cat filter
	((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash
	^
	parse_error: Field not found

Currently the caret ('^') for an error always appears at the beginning of
the filter string; the error message should still be useful though
even without more accurate position info.

5.3 Clearing filters
--------------------

To clear the filter for an event, write a '0' to the event's filter
file.

To clear the filters for all events in a subsystem, write a '0' to the
subsystem's filter file.

5.3 Subsystem filters
---------------------

For convenience, filters for every event in a subsystem can be set or
cleared as a group by writing a filter expression into the filter file
at the root of the subsystem.  Note however, that if a filter for any
event within the subsystem lacks a field specified in the subsystem
filter, or if the filter can't be applied for any other reason, the
filter for that event will retain its previous setting.  This can
result in an unintended mixture of filters which could lead to
confusing (to the user who might think different filters are in
effect) trace output.  Only filters that reference just the common
fields can be guaranteed to propagate successfully to all events.

Here are a few subsystem filter examples that also illustrate the
above points:

Clear the filters on all events in the sched subsystem::

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched
	# echo 0 > filter
	# cat sched_switch/filter
	none
	# cat sched_wakeup/filter
	none

Set a filter using only common fields for all events in the sched
subsystem (all events end up with the same filter)::

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched
	# echo common_pid == 0 > filter
	# cat sched_switch/filter
	common_pid == 0
	# cat sched_wakeup/filter
	common_pid == 0

Attempt to set a filter using a non-common field for all events in the
sched subsystem (all events but those that have a prev_pid field retain
their old filters)::

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched
	# echo prev_pid == 0 > filter
	# cat sched_switch/filter
	prev_pid == 0
	# cat sched_wakeup/filter
	common_pid == 0

5.4 PID filtering
-----------------

The set_event_pid file in the same directory as the top events directory
exists, will filter all events from tracing any task that does not have the
PID listed in the set_event_pid file.
::

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
	# echo $$ > set_event_pid
	# echo 1 > events/enable

Will only trace events for the current task.

To add more PIDs without losing the PIDs already included, use '>>'.
::

	# echo 123 244 1 >> set_event_pid


6. Event triggers
=================

Trace events can be made to conditionally invoke trigger 'commands'
which can take various forms and are described in detail below;
examples would be enabling or disabling other trace events or invoking
a stack trace whenever the trace event is hit.  Whenever a trace event
with attached triggers is invoked, the set of trigger commands
associated with that event is invoked.  Any given trigger can
additionally have an event filter of the same form as described in
section 5 (Event filtering) associated with it - the command will only
be invoked if the event being invoked passes the associated filter.
If no filter is associated with the trigger, it always passes.

Triggers are added to and removed from a particular event by writing
trigger expressions to the 'trigger' file for the given event.

A given event can have any number of triggers associated with it,
subject to any restrictions that individual commands may have in that
regard.

Event triggers are implemented on top of "soft" mode, which means that
whenever a trace event has one or more triggers associated with it,
the event is activated even if it isn't actually enabled, but is
disabled in a "soft" mode.  That is, the tracepoint will be called,
but just will not be traced, unless of course it's actually enabled.
This scheme allows triggers to be invoked even for events that aren't
enabled, and also allows the current event filter implementation to be
used for conditionally invoking triggers.

The syntax for event triggers is roughly based on the syntax for
set_ftrace_filter 'ftrace filter commands' (see the 'Filter commands'
section of Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt), but there are major
differences and the implementation isn't currently tied to it in any
way, so beware about making generalizations between the two.

6.1 Expression syntax
---------------------

Triggers are added by echoing the command to the 'trigger' file::

  # echo 'command[:count] [if filter]' > trigger

Triggers are removed by echoing the same command but starting with '!'
to the 'trigger' file::

  # echo '!command[:count] [if filter]' > trigger

The [if filter] part isn't used in matching commands when removing, so
leaving that off in a '!' command will accomplish the same thing as
having it in.

The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event
filtering' section above.

For ease of use, writing to the trigger file using '>' currently just
adds or removes a single trigger and there's no explicit '>>' support
('>' actually behaves like '>>') or truncation support to remove all
triggers (you have to use '!' for each one added.)

6.2 Supported trigger commands
------------------------------

The following commands are supported:

- enable_event/disable_event

  These commands can enable or disable another trace event whenever
  the triggering event is hit.  When these commands are registered,
  the other trace event is activated, but disabled in a "soft" mode.
  That is, the tracepoint will be called, but just will not be traced.
  The event tracepoint stays in this mode as long as there's a trigger
  in effect that can trigger it.

  For example, the following trigger causes kmalloc events to be
  traced when a read system call is entered, and the :1 at the end
  specifies that this enablement happens only once::

	  # echo 'enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
	      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger

  The following trigger causes kmalloc events to stop being traced
  when a read system call exits.  This disablement happens on every
  read system call exit::

	  # echo 'disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
	      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger

  The format is::

      enable_event:<system>:<event>[:count]
      disable_event:<system>:<event>[:count]

  To remove the above commands::

	  # echo '!enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
	      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger

	  # echo '!disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
	      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger

  Note that there can be any number of enable/disable_event triggers
  per triggering event, but there can only be one trigger per
  triggered event. e.g. sys_enter_read can have triggers enabling both
  kmem:kmalloc and sched:sched_switch, but can't have two kmem:kmalloc
  versions such as kmem:kmalloc and kmem:kmalloc:1 or 'kmem:kmalloc if
  bytes_req == 256' and 'kmem:kmalloc if bytes_alloc == 256' (they
  could be combined into a single filter on kmem:kmalloc though).

- stacktrace

  This command dumps a stacktrace in the trace buffer whenever the
  triggering event occurs.

  For example, the following trigger dumps a stacktrace every time the
  kmalloc tracepoint is hit::

	  # echo 'stacktrace' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

  The following trigger dumps a stacktrace the first 5 times a kmalloc
  request happens with a size >= 64K::

	  # echo 'stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

  The format is::

      stacktrace[:count]

  To remove the above commands::

	  # echo '!stacktrace' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

	  # echo '!stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

  The latter can also be removed more simply by the following (without
  the filter)::

	  # echo '!stacktrace:5' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

  Note that there can be only one stacktrace trigger per triggering
  event.

- snapshot

  This command causes a snapshot to be triggered whenever the
  triggering event occurs.

  The following command creates a snapshot every time a block request
  queue is unplugged with a depth > 1.  If you were tracing a set of
  events or functions at the time, the snapshot trace buffer would
  capture those events when the trigger event occurred::

	  # echo 'snapshot if nr_rq > 1' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

  To only snapshot once::

	  # echo 'snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

  To remove the above commands::

	  # echo '!snapshot if nr_rq > 1' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

	  # echo '!snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

  Note that there can be only one snapshot trigger per triggering
  event.

- traceon/traceoff

  These commands turn tracing on and off when the specified events are
  hit. The parameter determines how many times the tracing system is
  turned on and off. If unspecified, there is no limit.

  The following command turns tracing off the first time a block
  request queue is unplugged with a depth > 1.  If you were tracing a
  set of events or functions at the time, you could then examine the
  trace buffer to see the sequence of events that led up to the
  trigger event::

	  # echo 'traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

  To always disable tracing when nr_rq  > 1::

	  # echo 'traceoff if nr_rq > 1' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

  To remove the above commands::

	  # echo '!traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

	  # echo '!traceoff if nr_rq > 1' > \
		/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger

  Note that there can be only one traceon or traceoff trigger per
  triggering event.

- hist

  This command aggregates event hits into a hash table keyed on one or
  more trace event format fields (or stacktrace) and a set of running
  totals derived from one or more trace event format fields and/or
  event counts (hitcount).

  The format of a hist trigger is as follows::

        hist:keys=<field1[,field2,...]>[:values=<field1[,field2,...]>]
          [:sort=<field1[,field2,...]>][:size=#entries][:pause][:continue]
          [:clear][:name=histname1] [if <filter>]

  When a matching event is hit, an entry is added to a hash table
  using the key(s) and value(s) named.  Keys and values correspond to
  fields in the event's format description.  Values must correspond to
  numeric fields - on an event hit, the value(s) will be added to a
  sum kept for that field.  The special string 'hitcount' can be used
  in place of an explicit value field - this is simply a count of
  event hits.  If 'values' isn't specified, an implicit 'hitcount'
  value will be automatically created and used as the only value.
  Keys can be any field, or the special string 'stacktrace', which
  will use the event's kernel stacktrace as the key.  The keywords
  'keys' or 'key' can be used to specify keys, and the keywords
  'values', 'vals', or 'val' can be used to specify values.  Compound
  keys consisting of up to two fields can be specified by the 'keys'
  keyword.  Hashing a compound key produces a unique entry in the
  table for each unique combination of component keys, and can be
  useful for providing more fine-grained summaries of event data.
  Additionally, sort keys consisting of up to two fields can be
  specified by the 'sort' keyword.  If more than one field is
  specified, the result will be a 'sort within a sort': the first key
  is taken to be the primary sort key and the second the secondary
  key.  If a hist trigger is given a name using the 'name' parameter,
  its histogram data will be shared with other triggers of the same
  name, and trigger hits will update this common data.  Only triggers
  with 'compatible' fields can be combined in this way; triggers are
  'compatible' if the fields named in the trigger share the same
  number and type of fields and those fields also have the same names.
  Note that any two events always share the compatible 'hitcount' and
  'stacktrace' fields and can therefore be combined using those
  fields, however pointless that may be.

  'hist' triggers add a 'hist' file to each event's subdirectory.
  Reading the 'hist' file for the event will dump the hash table in
  its entirety to stdout.  If there are multiple hist triggers
  attached to an event, there will be a table for each trigger in the
  output.  The table displayed for a named trigger will be the same as
  any other instance having the same name. Each printed hash table
  entry is a simple list of the keys and values comprising the entry;
  keys are printed first and are delineated by curly braces, and are
  followed by the set of value fields for the entry.  By default,
  numeric fields are displayed as base-10 integers.  This can be
  modified by appending any of the following modifiers to the field
  name:

        - .hex        display a number as a hex value
	- .sym        display an address as a symbol
	- .sym-offset display an address as a symbol and offset
	- .syscall    display a syscall id as a system call name
	- .execname   display a common_pid as a program name

  Note that in general the semantics of a given field aren't
  interpreted when applying a modifier to it, but there are some
  restrictions to be aware of in this regard:

    - only the 'hex' modifier can be used for values (because values
      are essentially sums, and the other modifiers don't make sense
      in that context).
    - the 'execname' modifier can only be used on a 'common_pid'.  The
      reason for this is that the execname is simply the 'comm' value
      saved for the 'current' process when an event was triggered,
      which is the same as the common_pid value saved by the event
      tracing code.  Trying to apply that comm value to other pid
      values wouldn't be correct, and typically events that care save
      pid-specific comm fields in the event itself.

  A typical usage scenario would be the following to enable a hist
  trigger, read its current contents, and then turn it off::

	  # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger

	  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist

	  # echo '!hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger

  The trigger file itself can be read to show the details of the
  currently attached hist trigger.  This information is also displayed
  at the top of the 'hist' file when read.

  By default, the size of the hash table is 2048 entries.  The 'size'
  parameter can be used to specify more or fewer than that.  The units
  are in terms of hashtable entries - if a run uses more entries than
  specified, the results will show the number of 'drops', the number
  of hits that were ignored.  The size should be a power of 2 between
  128 and 131072 (any non- power-of-2 number specified will be rounded
  up).

  The 'sort' parameter can be used to specify a value field to sort
  on.  The default if unspecified is 'hitcount' and the default sort
  order is 'ascending'.  To sort in the opposite direction, append
  .descending' to the sort key.

  The 'pause' parameter can be used to pause an existing hist trigger
  or to start a hist trigger but not log any events until told to do
  so.  'continue' or 'cont' can be used to start or restart a paused
  hist trigger.

  The 'clear' parameter will clear the contents of a running hist
  trigger and leave its current paused/active state.

  Note that the 'pause', 'cont', and 'clear' parameters should be
  applied using 'append' shell operator ('>>') if applied to an
  existing trigger, rather than via the '>' operator, which will cause
  the trigger to be removed through truncation.

- enable_hist/disable_hist

  The enable_hist and disable_hist triggers can be used to have one
  event conditionally start and stop another event's already-attached
  hist trigger.  Any number of enable_hist and disable_hist triggers
  can be attached to a given event, allowing that event to kick off
  and stop aggregations on a host of other events.

  The format is very similar to the enable/disable_event triggers::

      enable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
      disable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]

  Instead of enabling or disabling the tracing of the target event
  into the trace buffer as the enable/disable_event triggers do, the
  enable/disable_hist triggers enable or disable the aggregation of
  the target event into a hash table.

  A typical usage scenario for the enable_hist/disable_hist triggers
  would be to first set up a paused hist trigger on some event,
  followed by an enable_hist/disable_hist pair that turns the hist
  aggregation on and off when conditions of interest are hit::

	  # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len:pause' > \
	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger

	  # echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger

	  # echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger

  The above sets up an initially paused hist trigger which is unpaused
  and starts aggregating events when a given program is executed, and
  which stops aggregating when the process exits and the hist trigger
  is paused again.

  The examples below provide a more concrete illustration of the
  concepts and typical usage patterns discussed above.


6.2 'hist' trigger examples
---------------------------

  The first set of examples creates aggregations using the kmalloc
  event.  The fields that can be used for the hist trigger are listed
  in the kmalloc event's format file::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/format
    name: kmalloc
    ID: 374
    format:
	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;		offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:int common_pid;					offset:4;	size:4;	signed:1;

	field:unsigned long call_site;				offset:8;	size:8;	signed:0;
	field:const void * ptr;					offset:16;	size:8;	signed:0;
	field:size_t bytes_req;					offset:24;	size:8;	signed:0;
	field:size_t bytes_alloc;				offset:32;	size:8;	signed:0;
	field:gfp_t gfp_flags;					offset:40;	size:4;	signed:0;

  We'll start by creating a hist trigger that generates a simple table
  that lists the total number of bytes requested for each function in
  the kernel that made one or more calls to kmalloc::

    # echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

  This tells the tracing system to create a 'hist' trigger using the
  call_site field of the kmalloc event as the key for the table, which
  just means that each unique call_site address will have an entry
  created for it in the table.  The 'val=bytes_req' parameter tells
  the hist trigger that for each unique entry (call_site) in the
  table, it should keep a running total of the number of bytes
  requested by that call_site.

  We'll let it run for awhile and then dump the contents of the 'hist'
  file in the kmalloc event's subdirectory (for readability, a number

  The output displays a line for each entry, beginning with the key
  specified in the trigger, followed by the value(s) also specified in
  the trigger.  At the beginning of the output is a line that displays
  the trigger info, which can also be displayed by reading the
  'trigger' file::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
    hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

  At the end of the output are a few lines that display the overall
  totals for the run.  The 'Hits' field shows the total number of
  times the event trigger was hit, the 'Entries' field shows the total
  number of used entries in the hash table, and the 'Dropped' field
  shows the number of hits that were dropped because the number of
  used entries for the run exceeded the maximum number of entries
  allowed for the table (normally 0, but if not a hint that you may
  want to increase the size of the table using the 'size' parameter).

  Notice in the above output that there's an extra field, 'hitcount',
  which wasn't specified in the trigger.  Also notice that in the
  trigger info output, there's a parameter, 'sort=hitcount', which
  wasn't specified in the trigger either.  The reason for that is that
  every trigger implicitly keeps a count of the total number of hits
  attributed to a given entry, called the 'hitcount'.  That hitcount
  information is explicitly displayed in the output, and in the
  absence of a user-specified sort parameter, is used as the default
  sort field.

  The value 'hitcount' can be used in place of an explicit value in
  the 'values' parameter if you don't really need to have any
  particular field summed and are mainly interested in hit
  frequencies.

  To turn the hist trigger off, simply call up the trigger in the
  command history and re-execute it with a '!' prepended::

    # echo '!hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

  Finally, notice that the call_site as displayed in the output above
  isn't really very useful.  It's an address, but normally addresses
  are displayed in hex.  To have a numeric field displayed as a hex
  value, simply append '.hex' to the field name in the trigger::

    # echo 'hist:key=call_site.hex:val=bytes_req' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist

  Even that's only marginally more useful - while hex values do look
  more like addresses, what users are typically more interested in
  when looking at text addresses are the corresponding symbols
  instead.  To have an address displayed as symbolic value instead,
  simply append '.sym' or '.sym-offset' to the field name in the
  trigger::

  Because the default sort key above is 'hitcount', the above shows a
  the list of call_sites by increasing hitcount, so that at the bottom
  we see the functions that made the most kmalloc calls during the
  run.  If instead we we wanted to see the top kmalloc callers in
  terms of the number of bytes requested rather than the number of
  calls, and we wanted the top caller to appear at the top, we can use
  the 'sort' parameter, along with the 'descending' modifier::

  allocated in a descending order::

  Finally, to finish off our kmalloc example, instead of simply having
  the hist trigger display symbolic call_sites, we can have the hist
  trigger additionally display the complete set of kernel stack traces
  that led to each call_site.  To do that, we simply use the special
  value 'stacktrace' for the key parameter::

    # echo 'hist:keys=stacktrace:values=bytes_req,bytes_alloc:sort=bytes_alloc' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger

  The above trigger will use the kernel stack trace in effect when an
  event is triggered as the key for the hash table.  This allows the
  enumeration of every kernel callpath that led up to a particular
  event, along with a running total of any of the event fields for
  that event.  Here we tally bytes requested and bytes allocated for
  every callpath in the system that led up to a kmalloc (in this case
  every callpath to a kmalloc for a kernel compile)::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist

  If you key a hist trigger on common_pid, in order for example to
  gather and display sorted totals for each process, you can use the
  special .execname modifier to display the executable names for the
  processes in the table rather than raw pids.  The example below
  keeps a per-process sum of total bytes read::

    # echo 'hist:key=common_pid.execname:val=count:sort=count.descending' > \

  Similarly, if you key a hist trigger on syscall id, for example to
  gather and display a list of systemwide syscall hits, you can use
  the special .syscall modifier to display the syscall names rather
  than raw ids.  The example below keeps a running total of syscall
  counts for the system during the run::

    # echo 'hist:key=id.syscall:val=hitcount' > \

  The syscall counts above provide a rough overall picture of system
  call activity on the system; we can see for example that the most
  popular system call on this system was the 'sys_ioctl' system call.

  We can use 'compound' keys to refine that number and provide some
  further insight as to which processes exactly contribute to the
  overall ioctl count.

  The command below keeps a hitcount for every unique combination of
  system call id and pid - the end result is essentially a table
  that keeps a per-pid sum of system call hits.  The results are
  sorted using the system call id as the primary key, and the
  hitcount sum as the secondary key::

  The above list does give us a breakdown of the ioctl syscall by
  pid, but it also gives us quite a bit more than that, which we
  don't really care about at the moment.  Since we know the syscall
  id for sys_ioctl (16, displayed next to the sys_ioctl name), we
  can use that to filter out all the other syscalls::

      # echo 'hist:key=id.syscall,common_pid.execname:val=hitcount:sort=id,hitcount if id == 16' > \

  The above output shows that 'compiz' and 'Xorg' are far and away
  the heaviest ioctl callers (which might lead to questions about
  whether they really need to be making all those calls and to
  possible avenues for further investigation.)

  The compound key examples used a key and a sum value (hitcount) to
  sort the output, but we can just as easily use two keys instead.
  Here's an example where we use a compound key composed of the the
  common_pid and size event fields.  Sorting with pid as the primary
  key and 'size' as the secondary key allows us to display an
  ordered summary of the recvfrom sizes, with counts, received by
  each process::

  The above example also illustrates the fact that although a compound
  key is treated as a single entity for hashing purposes, the sub-keys
  it's composed of can be accessed independently.

  The next example uses a string field as the hash key and
  demonstrates how you can manually pause and continue a hist trigger.
  In this example, we'll aggregate fork counts and don't expect a
  large number of entries in the hash table, so we'll drop it to a
  much smaller number, say 256::

    # echo 'hist:key=child_comm:val=hitcount:size=256' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger

  the command that started the trigger.  Notice that the trigger info
  displays as [paused]::

  To manually continue having the trigger aggregate events, append
  :cont instead.  Notice that the trigger info displays as [active]

  The previous example showed how to start and stop a hist trigger by
  appending 'pause' and 'continue' to the hist trigger command.  A
  hist trigger can also be started in a paused state by initially
  starting the trigger with ':pause' appended.  This allows you to
  start the trigger only when you're ready to start collecting data
  and not before.  For example, you could start the trigger in a
  paused state, then unpause it and do something you want to measure,
  then pause the trigger again when done.

  Of course, doing this manually can be difficult and error-prone, but
  it is possible to automatically start and stop a hist trigger based
  on some condition, via the enable_hist and disable_hist triggers.

  For example, suppose we wanted to take a look at the relative
  weights in terms of skb length for each callpath that leads to a
  netif_receieve_skb event when downloading a decent-sized file using
  wget.

  First we set up an initially paused stacktrace trigger on the
  netif_receive_skb event::

    # echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:pause' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger

  Next, we set up an 'enable_hist' trigger on the sched_process_exec
  event, with an 'if filename==/usr/bin/wget' filter.  The effect of
  this new trigger is that it will 'unpause' the hist trigger we just
  set up on netif_receive_skb if and only if it sees a
  sched_process_exec event with a filename of '/usr/bin/wget'.  When
  that happens, all netif_receive_skb events are aggregated into a
  hash table keyed on stacktrace::

    # echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger

  The aggregation continues until the netif_receive_skb is paused
  again, which is what the following disable_hist event does by
  creating a similar setup on the sched_process_exit event, using the
  filter 'comm==wget'::

    # echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger

  Whenever a process exits and the comm field of the disable_hist
  trigger filter matches 'comm==wget', the netif_receive_skb hist
  trigger is disabled.

  The overall effect is that netif_receive_skb events are aggregated
  into the hash table for only the duration of the wget.  Executing a
  wget command and then listing the 'hist' file will display the
  output generated by the wget command::

    $ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz

  The above shows all the netif_receive_skb callpaths and their total
  lengths for the duration of the wget command.

  The 'clear' hist trigger param can be used to clear the hash table.
  Suppose we wanted to try another run of the previous example but
  this time also wanted to see the complete list of events that went
  into the histogram.  In order to avoid having to set everything up
  again, we can just clear the histogram first::

    # echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:clear' >> \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger

  Just to verify that it is in fact cleared, here's what we now see in
  the hist file::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist
    # trigger info: hist:keys=stacktrace:vals=len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [paused]

    Totals:
        Hits: 0
        Entries: 0
        Dropped: 0

  Since we want to see the detailed list of every netif_receive_skb
  event occurring during the new run, which are in fact the same
  events being aggregated into the hash table, we add some additional
  'enable_event' events to the triggering sched_process_exec and
  sched_process_exit events as such::

    # echo 'enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger

    # echo 'disable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger

  If you read the trigger files for the sched_process_exec and
  sched_process_exit triggers, you should see two triggers for each:
  one enabling/disabling the hist aggregation and the other
  enabling/disabling the logging of events::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
    enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
    enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
    enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
    disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget

  In other words, whenever either of the sched_process_exec or
  sched_process_exit events is hit and matches 'wget', it enables or
  disables both the histogram and the event log, and what you end up
  with is a hash table and set of events just covering the specified
  duration.  Run the wget command again::

    $ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz

  Displaying the 'hist' file should show something similar to what you
  saw in the last run, but this time you should also see the
  individual events in the trace file::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

    # tracer: nop
    #
    # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 183/1426   #P:4

  The following example demonstrates how multiple hist triggers can be
  attached to a given event.  This capability can be useful for
  creating a set of different summaries derived from the same set of
  events, or for comparing the effects of different filters, among
  other things.
  ::

    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len < 0' >> \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len > 4096' >> \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len == 256' >> \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' >> \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
    # echo 'hist:keys=len:vals=common_preempt_count' >> \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger

  The above set of commands create four triggers differing only in
  their filters, along with a completely different though fairly
  nonsensical trigger.  Note that in order to append multiple hist
  triggers to the same file, you should use the '>>' operator to
  append them ('>' will also add the new hist trigger, but will remove
  any existing hist triggers beforehand).

  Displaying the contents of the 'hist' file for the event shows the
  contents of all five histograms::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist

    # event histogram
    #
    # trigger info: hist:keys=len:vals=hitcount,common_preempt_count:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

  Named triggers can be used to have triggers share a common set of
  histogram data.  This capability is mostly useful for combining the
  output of events generated by tracepoints contained inside inline
  functions, but names can be used in a hist trigger on any event.
  For example, these two triggers when hit will update the same 'len'
  field in the shared 'foo' histogram data::

    # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
    # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger

  You can see that they're updating common histogram data by reading
  each event's hist files at the same time::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist;
      cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist

    # event histogram
    #
    # trigger info: hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=hitcount,len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

  And here's an example that shows how to combine histogram data from
  any two events even if they don't share any 'compatible' fields
  other than 'hitcount' and 'stacktrace'.  These commands create a
  couple of triggers named 'bar' using those fields::

    # echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
    # echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \
          /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger

  And displaying the output of either shows some interesting if
  somewhat confusing output::

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/hist
    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist

    # event histogram
    #
    # trigger info: hist:name=bar:keys=stacktrace:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]
    #
