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. 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 keyworks 'values', 'vals', or 'val' can be used to specify + values. For the time being, only a single key can be used - + compound keys aren't yet supported. + + '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. 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 + .syscall display a syscall id as a system call name + .execname display a common_pid as a program name + + 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' + param 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' param 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' param 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' param will clear the contents of a running hist trigger + and leave its current paused/active state. + +- 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 '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 + of entries have been omitted): + + # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist + trigger info: hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active] + + call_site: 18446744071581750326 hitcount: 1 bytes_req: 24 + call_site: 18446744071583151255 hitcount: 1 bytes_req: 32 + call_site: 18446744071582443167 hitcount: 1 bytes_req: 264 + call_site: 18446744072104099935 hitcount: 2 bytes_req: 464 + call_site: 18446744071579323550 hitcount: 3 bytes_req: 168 + call_site: 18446744071580558850 hitcount: 4 bytes_req: 65536 + . + . + . + call_site: 18446744072101362738 hitcount: 4115 bytes_req: 362120 + call_site: 18446744072103235682 hitcount: 4115 bytes_req: 427960 + call_site: 18446744072102962280 hitcount: 4342 bytes_req: 1637584 + call_site: 18446744072102962328 hitcount: 4973 bytes_req: 360624 + call_site: 18446744072101400062 hitcount: 6465 bytes_req: 258600 + call_site: 18446744071582063959 hitcount: 7818 bytes_req: 15636 + call_site: 18446744072102968908 hitcount: 9315 bytes_req: 8912400 + call_site: 18446744072103122419 hitcount: 9315 bytes_req: 819720 + call_site: 18446744072101402850 hitcount: 10240 bytes_req: 573440 + call_site: 18446744072099471334 hitcount: 23820 bytes_req: 476512 + + Totals: + Hits: 109976 + Entries: 76 + Dropped: 0 + + 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.

The 'Hits' field shows the total number of + times the event trigger was hit, the 'Entries' fields 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' param). + + Notice in the above output that there's an extra field, 'hitcount', + that wasn't specified in the trigger. Also notice that in the + trigger info a param,'sort=hitcount', which wasn't specified in the + trigger either. The reason is that every trigger implicitly keeps a + count of the total number of hits attributed to a given entry, + called the 'hitcount', and that in the absence of a user-specified + sort param, the hitcount is used as the default sort field. + + The value 'hitcount' can be used in place of an explicit value in + the 'values' param 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 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.

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, start the trigger in a paused state, + then unpause it and do something you want to measure, then pause the + trigger 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'.
