      tracing: Print trace_bprintk() formats for modules too · 1813dc37
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      The file debugfs/tracing/printk_formats maps the addresses
to the formats that are used by trace_bprintk() so that userspace
tools can read the buffer and be able to decode trace_bprintk events
to get the format saved when reading the ring buffer directly.

This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the
buffer, but just the address of the format, which is hidden in
the kernel memory.

But currently it only exports trace_bprintk()s from the kernel core
and not for modules. The modules need their formats exported
as well.

      tracing: Convert trace_printk() formats for module to const char * · 0588fa30
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      The trace_printk() formats for modules do not show up in the
debugfs/tracing/printk_formats file. Only the formats that are
for trace_printk()s that are in the kernel core.

To facilitate the change to add trace_printk() formats from modules
into that file as well, we need to convert the structure that
holds the formats from char fmt[], into const char *fmt,
and allocate them separately.

      perf script: If type not given fields apply to all event types · 2c9e45f7
      David Ahern authored 
      Allow:
  perf script -f <fields>

to be equivalent to:
  perf script -f trace:<fields> -f sw:<fields> -f hw:<fields>

i.e., the specified fields apply to all event types if the type string
is not given.

The field (-f) arguments are processed in the order received. A later
usage can reset a prior request. e.g.,

  -f trace: -f comm,tid,time,sym

The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the second
invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,sym. In this case a warning is
given to the user:

  "Overriding previous field request for all events."

Alternativey, consider the order:

  -f comm,tid,time,sym -f trace:

The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f suppresses trace
events. The user is given a warning message about the override, and the result
of the above is that only S/W and H/W events are displayed with the given
fields.

For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an event
type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is ignored for that
type. For example:

  perf script -f comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less
  'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring.
  'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring.

Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it is an
error. For example:

    perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less
    'trace' not valid for software events.

At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits.

Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types.
i.e., -f "" is not allowed.
