We provide an abstraction for it called "itrace" for "instruction trace" ([2]). The single most notable thing is that while PT outputs trace data in a compressed binary format, it will still generate hundreds of megabytes of trace data per second per core. Decoding this binary stream takes 2-3 orders of magnitude the cpu time that it takes to generate it. These considerations make it impossible to carry out decoding in kernel space. Therefore, the trace data is exported to userspace as a zero-copy mapping that userspace can collect and store for later decoding. To that end, perf is extended to support an additional ring buffer per event, which will export the trace data. This ring buffer is mapped from the event's file descriptor with a special "magic" offset. This ring buffer has its own user page with data_head and data_tail (in case the buffer is mapped writable) pointers used as read/write pointers in the buffer. This way we get a normal perf data stream that provides sideband information that is required to decode the trace data, such as MMAPs, COMMs etc, plus the actual trace in a separate buffer. If the trace buffer is mapped writable, the driver will stop tracing when it fills up (data_head approaches data_tail), till data is read, data_tail pointer is moved forward and an ioctl() is issued to re-enable tracing. If the trace buffer is mapped read only, the tracing will continue, overwriting older data, so that the buffer always contains the most recent data. Tracing can be stopped with an ioctl() and restarted once the data is collected. Another use case is annotating samples of other perf events: if you set PERF_SAMPLE_ITRACE, attr.itrace_sample_size bytes of trace will be included in each event's sample. Also, itrace data can be included in process core dumps, which can be enabled with a new rlimit -- RLIMIT_ITRACE. This patchset consists of necessary changes to the perf kernel infrastructure, PT pmu driver and the remaining 60+ patches meticulously add itrace/PT support to perf userspace.
