Add an 'onmatch(matching.event).<synthetic_event_name>(param list)'
hist trigger action which is invoked with the set of variables or
event fields named in the 'param list'. The result is the generation
of a synthetic event that consists of the values contained in those
variables and/or fields at the time the invoking event was hit.
As an example the below defines a simple synthetic event using a
variable defined on the sched_wakeup_new event, and shows the event
definition with unresolved fields, since the sched_wakeup_new event
with the testpid variable hasn't been defined yet:
# echo 'wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio
The following hist trigger both defines a testpid variable and
specifies an onmatch() trace action that uses that variable along with
a non-variable field to generate a wakeup_new_test synthetic event
whenever a sched_wakeup_new event occurs, which because of the 'if
comm == "cyclictest"' filter only happens when the executable is
cyclictest:
# echo 'hist:testpid=pid:keys=$testpid:\
onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup_new).wakeup_new_test($testpid, prio) \
if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup_new/trigger
Creating and displaying a histogram based on those events is now just
a matter of using the fields and new synthetic event in the
tracing/events/synthetic directory, as usual:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:sort=pid,prio' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_new_test/trigger

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
