Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an
event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on.
The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu"
as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it
impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events.
For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the
workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running:
># echo 'hist:keys=cpu' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
Gives a misleading and wrong result.
Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*"
fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And
this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events.
Now we can even do:
># echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu < 100' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
># cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist
# event histogram
#
# trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu < 100 [active]
#
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 7, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 2
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 2
{ common_cpu: 1, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 4
{ common_cpu: 6, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 4
{ common_cpu: 5, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 14
{ common_cpu: 4, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 26
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 0 } hitcount: 39
{ common_cpu: 2, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 184
Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and
the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as
it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use
"cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it
will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants
anyway.
I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the
common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in
the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over
just plain "cpu".

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added option for per CPU threads to the hwlat tracer - Have hwlat tracer handle hotplug CPUs - New tracer: osnoise, that detects latency caused by interrupts, softirqs and scheduling of other tasks. - Added timerlat tracer that creates a thread and measures in detail what sources of latency it has for wake ups. - Removed the "success" field of the sched_wakeup trace event. This has been hardcoded as "1" since 2015, no tooling should be looking at it now. If one exists, we can revert this commit, fix that tool and try to remove it again in the future. - tgid mapping fixed to handle more than PID_MAX_DEFAULT pids/tgids. - New boot command line option "tp_printk_stop", as tp_printk causes trace events to write to console. When user space starts, this can easily live lock the system. Having a boot option to stop just after boot up is useful to prevent that from happening. - Have ftrace_dump_on_oops boot command line option take numbers that match the numbers shown in /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops. - Bootconfig clean ups, fixes and enhancements. - New ktest script that tests bootconfig options. - Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() to register a tracepoint without triggering a WARN*() if it already exists. BPF has a path from user space that can do this. All other paths are considered a bug. - Small clean ups and fixes * tag 'trace-v5.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (49 commits) tracing: Resize tgid_map to pid_max, not PID_MAX_DEFAULT tracing: Simplify & fix saved_tgids logic treewide: Add missing semicolons to __assign_str uses tracing: Change variable type as bool for clean-up trace/timerlat: Fix indentation on timerlat_main() trace/osnoise: Make 'noise' variable s64 in run_osnoise() tracepoint: Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() for BPF tracing tracing: Fix spelling in osnoise tracer "interferences" -> "interference" Documentation: Fix a typo on trace/osnoise-tracer trace/osnoise: Fix return value on osnoise_init_hotplug_support trace/osnoise: Make interval u64 on osnoise_main trace/osnoise: Fix 'no previous prototype' warnings tracing: Have osnoise_main() add a quiescent state for task rcu seq_buf: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() support data longer than 8 seq_buf: Fix overflow in seq_buf_putmem_hex() trace/osnoise: Support hotplug operations trace/hwlat: Support hotplug operations trace/hwlat: Protect kdata->kthread with get/put_online_cpus trace: Add timerlat tracer trace: Add osnoise tracer ...
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This was a reasonably active cycle for documentation; this includes:
- Some kernel-doc cleanups. That script is still regex onslaught from
hell, but it has gotten a little better.
- Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the
tool itself.
- A major update to the pathname lookup documentation.
- Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create
references from filenames without all the extra noise.
- The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues.
Plus, of course, the usual collection of updates, typo fixes, and
warning fixes"
