通过user_event可以实现对应用程序的跟踪,类似linux内核中的tracepoint那样。相似的方法还有借助/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker
,不过,user_event提供的方法功能更加强大,可以配合perf等工具使用。
要使用user_event,大致要经过:注册、使能跟踪、写入跟踪信息、读取跟踪信息、关闭跟踪、反注册、删除。需要用到的文件节点主要是:/sys/kernel/tracing/user_events_data
。
data_fd = open(data_file, O_RDWR);
注册阶段用到的结构体是user_reg:
struct user_reg {
/* Input:固定为sizeof(user_reg)*/
__u32 size;
/* Input: 使用下面的enable_addr的哪个bit来显示使能状态 */
__u8 enable_bit;
/* Input: 下面的enable_addr的字节长度,4或者8 */
__u8 enable_size;
/* Input: 目前还用不到,设置为0即可 */
__u16 flags;
/* Input: 应用通过这个地址来查看该user_event事件是否使能*/
__u64 enable_addr;
/* Input: 事件描述信息*/
__u64 name_args;
/* Output: 应用通过该事件索引向内核中写入事件内容 */
__u32 write_index;
} __attribute__((__packed__));
反注册用到的结构体是:
struct user_unreg {
/* Input: 固定为sizeof(user_unreg) */
__u32 size;
/* Input: Bit to unregister */
__u8 disable_bit;
/* Input: Reserved, set to 0 */
__u8 __reserved;
/* Input: Reserved, set to 0 */
__u16 __reserved2;
/* Input: Address to unregister */
__u64 disable_addr;
} __attribute__((__packed__));
比如以下面的代码为例:
// 这两个结构体必须初始化为0
struct user_reg reg = {0};
struct user_unreg unreg = {0};
u32 check;
reg.size = sizeof(reg);
reg.name_args = (__u64)"__test_event0 u32 id; u32 age; char type; char[32] name";
reg.enable_bit = 31; // 通过check的bit31来查看使能状态,不同的事件可以使用同一个变量
reg.enable_addr = (__u64)✓
reg.enable_size = sizeof(check);
ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSREG, ®); // 如果传入的reg的内容一样,那么返回的write_index也一样
event0_index = reg.write_index;
reg.size = sizeof(reg);
reg.name_args = (__u64)"__test_event1 u32 money";
reg.enable_bit = 30; // 通过check的bit30来查看使能状态
reg.enable_addr = (__u64)check;
reg.enable_size = sizeof(check);
ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSREG, ®); // 如果传入的reg的内容一样,那么返回的write_index也一样
event1_index = reg.write_index;
注册成功后,可以看到注册的事件:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/dynamic_events
下面:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/user_events
下面:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/user_events/__test_event0/enable
或者
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/user_events/__test_event1/enable
当改变上面的enable
文件节点的值时,check变量的相应bit会随之改变。具体是:
向__test_event0/enable
写入0,那么check变量的bit31是0,向__test_event0/enable
写入1,那么check变量的bit31是1.
向__test_event1/enable
写入0,那么check变量的bit30是0,向__test_event0/enable
写入1,那么check变量的bit30是1.

io[0].iov_base = &event0_index;
io[0].iov_len = sizeof(event0_index);

io[4].iov_base = name;
io[4].iov_len = sizeof(name);
// 使能

io[0].iov_base = &event1_index;

// 使能
system("echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/user_events/__test_event1/enable");
// 写入
writev(data_fd, (const struct iovec *)io, 2);
# perf trace -e user_events:__test_event0 -e user_events:__test_event1
或者
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
unreg.size = sizeof(unreg);
unreg.disable_bit = 31;
unreg.disable_addr = (__u64)✓
ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSUNREG, &unreg);

ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSUNREG, &unreg);
// 先关闭
close(data_fd);
data_fd = open(data_file, O_RDWR);
ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSDEL, "__test_event0");
