tools lib traceevent: Change tag string for error

2019-05-02T20:00:19Z

The traceevent lib is used by the perf tool, and when executing perf test -v 6 it outputs error log on the ARM64 platform: running test 33 '*:*'trace-cmd: No such file or directory [...] trace-cmd: Invalid argument The trace event parsing code originally came from trace-cmd so it keeps the tag string "trace-cmd" for errors, this easily introduces the impression that the perf tool launches trace-cmd command for trace event parsing, but in fact the related parsing is accomplished by the traceevent lib. This patch changes the tag string to "libtraceevent" so that we can avoid confusion and let users to more easily connect the error with traceevent lib.

tools lib traceevent: Fix missing equality check for strcmp

2019-04-16T14:27:36Z

There was a missing comparison with 0 when checking if type is "s64" or "u64". Therefore, the body of the if-statement was entered if "type" was "u64" or not "s64", which made the first strcmp() redundant since if type is "u64", it's not "s64". If type is "s64", the body of the if-statement is not entered but since the remainder of the function consists of if-statements which will not be entered if type is "s64", we will just return "val", which is correct, albeit at the cost of a few more calls to strcmp(), i.e., it will behave just as if the if-statement was entered. If type is neither "s64" or "u64", the body of the if-statement will be entered incorrectly and "val" returned. This means that any type that is checked after "s64" and "u64" is handled the same way as "s64" and "u64", i.e., the limiting of "val" to fit in for example "s8" is never reached. This was introduced in the kernel tree when the sources were copied from trace-cmd in commit f7d82350e597 ("tools/events: Add files to create libtraceevent.a"), and in the trace-cmd repo in 1cdbae6035cei ("Implement typecasting in parser") when the function was introduced, i.e., it has always behaved the wrong way. Detected by cppcheck.

tools lib traceevent: Fix buffer overflow in arg_eval

2019-02-28T19:06:47Z

Fix buffer overflow observed when running perf test. The overflow is when trying to evaluate "1ULL << (64 - 1)" which is resulting in -9223372036854775808 which overflows the 20 character buffer. If is possible this bug has been reported before but I still don't see any fix checked in: See: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-perf-users/msg07714.html Reported-by: Michael Sartain Reported-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: Tony Jones Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Fixes: f7d82350e597 ("tools/events: Add files to create libtraceevent.a") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190228015532.8941-1-tonyj@suse.de Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools lib traceevent: Remove tep_data_event_from_type() API

2019-01-08T16:28:13Z

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, its API should be straightforward. After discussion with Steven Rostedt, we decided to remove the tep_data_event_from_type() API and to replace it with tep_find_event(), as it does the same.

2019-01-08T16:28:13Z

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, its API should be straightforward. After a discussion with Steven Rostedt, we decided to rename a few APIs, to have more intuitive names. This patch renames tep_is_file_bigendian() to tep_file_bigendian().

tools lib traceevent: Changed return logic of tep_register_event_handler() API

2019-01-08T16:28:13Z

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, its API should be straightforward. The tep_register_event_handler() functions returns -1 in case it successfully registers the new event handler. Such return code is used by the other library APIs in case of an error. To unify the return logic of tep_register_event_handler() with the other APIs, this patch introduces enum tep_reg_handler, which is used by this function as return value, to handle all possible successful return cases.

tools lib traceevent: Changed return logic of trace_seq_printf() and trace_seq_vprintf() APIs

2019-01-08T16:28:13Z

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, its API should be straightforward. The trace_seq_printf() and trace_seq_vprintf() APIs have inconsistent returned values with the other trace_seq_* APIs. This path changes the return logic of trace_seq_printf() and trace_seq_vprintf() to return the number of printed characters, as the other trace_seq_* related APIs.

2019-01-08T16:28:13Z

In order to make libtraceevent a proper library, variables, data structures and functions should have a unique prefix to prevent name space conflicts. That prefix will be "tep_".

2019-01-08T16:28:13Z

This patch initializes the host_bigendian member of the tep_handle structure with the byte order of the current host, when this handler is created - in tep_alloc() API. We need this in order to remove the tep_set_host_bigendian() API.
