I think I finally figured out what is happening. (After a whole day of
research).
The old version uses TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() to export the enum
to user space through the format:
cat /tracing/events/skb/kfree_skb/format
name: kfree_skb
ID: 1528
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:void * skbaddr; offset:8; size:8; signed:0;
field:void * location; offset:16; size:8; signed:0;
field:unsigned short protocol; offset:24;
size:2; signed:0;
field:enum skb_drop_reason reason; offset:28;
size:4; signed:0;
print fmt: "skbaddr=%p protocol=%u location=%p reason: %s",
REC->skbaddr, REC->protocol, REC->location,
__print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 1, "NOT_SPECIFIED" }, { 2, "NO_SOCKET"
}, { 3, "PKT_TOO_SMALL" }, { 4, "TCP_CSUM" }, { 5, "SOCKET_FILTER" },

22, "TCP_ZEROWINDOW" }, { 23, "TCP_OLD_DATA" }, { 24, "TCP_OVERWINDOW"

"TC_INGRESS" }, { 49, "UNHANDLED_PROTO" }, { 50, "SKB_CSUM" }, { 51,

perf will convert the enum to string by the information in format.
What the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() do can be seen in the
update_event_printk(), which will replace the enum name in the format
with its real value. And it seems that this is the right way to export
drop reason string to users.
And without this TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), the output will be like
this:
print fmt: "skbaddr=%p protocol=%u location=%p reason: %s",
REC->skbaddr, REC->protocol, REC->location,
__print_symbolic(REC->reason, { SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED,
"NOT_SPECIFIED" } ...................
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the string copy I committed before seems to add a lot
cost. Following is the time spend that I call trace_kfree_skb()
for 50,000,000 times (in ns) in a kernel module with __string()
field (kfree_skb event is enabled, of course):
5129727715
5133374989
5133208716
5131911803
5122289360
5113165536
5113767180
5133562923
5112673360
5127777968
And following is the time with 'drop_reason[reason]':
4004919507
4008643292
4007113108
4004181997
4011144465
4022534656
4022078663
4002597895
4072512068
3990457695
Following is the time that I use __print_symbolic() instead:
4050504157
4049853381
4064370880
4014673377
4063128507
4058000000
4070997417
4017538272
4003874038
4009775761
Seems __print_symbolic() is more efficient than I thought.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I'm not sure we can still keep this 'auto-generate', as we need
to define TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM. The script in
'net/core/Makefile' should be like this
to generate a header, which is used to define the array
'const char * const drop_reasons[]' and
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM():
clean-files := $(srctree)/include/net/dropreason_str.h
quiet_cmd_dropreason_str = GEN $@
cmd_dropreason_str = awk -F ',' 'BEGIN{ print "\#include
<net/dropreason.h>\n"; \
print "\#define __DEFINE_DROP_REASON(FN, FNe) \\"; last = "" }\
/^enum skb_drop/ { dr=1; }\
/^\};/ { dr=0; }\
/^\tSKB_DROP_REASON_/ {\
if (dr) {\
if (length(last) != 0)\
printf "\tFN(%s) \\\n", last;\
last = $$1;\
sub(/\tSKB_DROP_REASON_/, "", last);\
}\
}\
END{ printf "\tFNe(%s)\n", last; }' $< > $@
$(srctree)/include/net/dropreason_str.h: $(srctree)/include/net/dropreason.h
$(call cmd,dropreason_str)
$(obj-y)/*: $(srctree)/include/net/dropreason_str.h
Then, we can define TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM in include/trace/events/skb.h:
#undef EM
#define EM(name) TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(SKB_DROP_REASON_##name);
__DEFINE_DROP_REASON(EM, EM)
Thanks!
