libtraceevent: Move traceevent plugins in its own subdirectory

2019-09-25T12:51:43+00:00

All traceevent plugins code is moved to tools/lib/traceevent/plugins
subdirectory. It makes traceevent implementation in trace-cmd and in
kernel tree consistent. There is no changes in the way libtraceevent and
plugins are compiled and installed.

Committer notes:

Applied fixup provided by Steven, fixing the tools/perf/Makefile.perf
target for the plugin dynamic list file. Problem noticed when cross
building to aarch64 from a Ubuntu 19.04 container.

tools lib traceevent, perf tools: Move struct tep_handler definition in a local header file

2018-10-08T18:05:37+00:00

As traceevent is going to be transferred into a proper library,
its local data should be protected from the library users.
This patch encapsulates struct tep_handler into a local header,
not visible outside of the library. It implements also a bunch
of new APIs, which library users can use to access tep_handler members.

tools lib traceevent: Separate out tep_strerror() for strerror_r() issues

2018-10-08T17:30:45+00:00

While working on having PowerTop use libtracevent as a shared object
library, Tzvetomir hit "str_error_r not defined". This was added by commit
c3cec9e68f12d ("tools lib traceevent: Use str_error_r()") because
strerror_r() has two definitions, where one is GNU specific, and the other
is XSI complient. The strerror_r() is in a wrapper str_error_r() to keep the
code from having to worry about which compiler is being used.

The problem is that str_error_r() is external to libtraceevent, and not part
of the library. If it is used as a shared object then the tools using it
will need to define that function. I do not want that function defined in
libtraceevent itself, as it is out of scope for that library.

As there's only a single instance of this call, and its in the traceevent
library's own tep_strerror() function, we can copy what was done in perf,
and create yet another external file that undefs _GNU_SOURCE to use the more
portable version of the function. We don't need to worry about the errors
that strerror_r() returns. If the buffer isn't big enough, we simply
truncate it.
