The KVM plugin is with higher weight than PTP, it is preferred in case both are active. KVM is used only if x86-tsc clock is selected for the current trace, PTP is used for all other cases. These changes depend on commits: "trace-cmd: Fix plist allocation check in trace-msg.c" https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-trace-devel/patch/20210203165431.792152a4@gandalf.local.home/ "trace-cmd: Fix SEGFAULT when no tsync_protos are supplied" https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-trace-devel/patch/20210203171018.5b82a0a7@gandalf.local.home/ v28 changes: - Fix bugs, introduced by previous trace-cmd commits, related to tracefs library usage. - Removed unused type defines for trace packets. v27 changes: - Fixed broken compilation due to usage of old libtracefs APIs. - Rewrote complex macros to follow the Linux kernel requirements for macros. - Removed pathces from the set, that were already merged upstream. v26 changes: - Rebased on top of latest master. - Abstracted Time sync protocol names in a structure, to avoid using triple char pointers. - Removed a patch from the set, as it is already merged: "trace-cmd: Add new libtrasefs API to get the current trace clock". - Minor coding style changes, for better code readability. v25 changes: - Addressed Steven's comments. - Reorded the patches in the plugin - put the PTP and KVM PoC patches last and all other fixes and improvements before them. - Implemented a new libtrasefs API to get the current trace clock. - Replaced IDs of trace timestamps synchronization protocols with strings. - Implemented an "accuracy" parameter for timestamps synchronization protocols. - Added "scaling ratio" correction, calculated by the timestamp synchronization protocols. - Added flags, declared by the timestamps synchronization protocols, and stored in the trace.dat file, together with the calculated time offsets. - Implemented timestamp offset calculation per virtual CPU. v24 changes: - trace-cmd internal refactoring, needed for KVM timestamp synchronization plugin. - Added KVM timestamp synchronization plugin. v23 changes: - Added flags to PTP start message to control the behaviour of the algorithm. This is for development purposes mostly, to compare and evaluate how these changes affect the accuracy. PTP_FLAG_FASTEST_RESPONSE: Consider only the probe with fastest response time, otherwise make a histogram from all probes. PTP_FLAG_USE_MARKER: Use trace marker to get the clock, otherwise use directly the system clock v22 changes, addressed Steven's comments: - Fixed error flow in read_qemu_guests_pids(), free allocated resources in case of an error. - Fixed initialisation of reallocated memmory in set_vcpu_pid_mapping(). - Fixed bitmask logic in tracecmd_tsync_proto_select(). - Fixed usage of wrong structure in make_trace_resp(). v21 changes: - Rebased on top of latest master. - Remove these two patches from the set, as they are already merged: trace-cmd: Add new library API for local CPU count trace-cmd: Add support for negative time offsets in trace.dat file - Added more descriptive warning message when fails to extract Time Shift information from the trace.dat file. - Added a warning message when fails to obtain vcpu - pid mappings. - Handle the case with sparse VCPU numbers in VCPU - PID mapping array. - Fixed broken recording over FIFOs. v20 changes: - Rebased on top of latest master. - Removed the VCPUS_MAX hardcoded limit, reimplemented the cpu_pid[] array to be dynamically allocated. - Added a warning when reading of TRACECMD_OPTION_TIME_SHIFT option fails, due to unexpected option's size. - Improved loading of TRACECMD_OPTION_GUEST option data, as Steven suggested. v19 changes: - Rebased on top of latest master. The librtacefs is already merged, this allows to drop few patches from the set and use librtacefs APIs instead. - Reimplemented all new trace.dat options to be in binary format, instead of text. Leverage the new "trace-cmd dump" sub command to track what is written in the file. - Addressed Steven's comments. v18 changes: addressed Steven Rostdet comments: - Replaced semaphores with pthread mutexes. - Made bitmask with time sync protocols unlimited, so we can support more than 32 protocols. That required to redesign the trace request packet format. - A lot of small fixes. v17 changes: - Implemented new PTP logic for calculating the clocks offset, using histogram of all PTP samples. It gives better results than the logic with the fastest response time, so set the new one as default in the POC patch. v16 changes: - Fixed compilation in case no VSOCK is available (Thanks to Slavomir Kaslev) - Fixed a typo in trace-cmd-record.1.txt (Thanks to Slavomir Kaslev) - Added forgotten file in the patch "trace-cmd: Add new library APIs for ftrace instances." - trace-instance.c - Fixed few compilation warnings related to TSYNC_DEBUG code. - Removed a blank line at the end of "tsync_readme" file. v15 changes: - Removed the patch for "--proc-map" from the series, as it should not be part of it. v14 changes: - Bring back the PTP-like algorithm and removed the ftrace event based logic. - Reimplemented the PTP-like algorithm to use raw ftrace markers, instead of clock_gettime() API. - Refactored the logic to be algorithm independent and plugin friendly. - Implemented continuous timestamps synchronization, while the trace is running. - Moved logic from trace-cmd application to libtracecmd, as new library APIs. - Implemented new trace id functionality. - Implemented new guest section in host trace.dat file. v13 changes: - Remove few patches from the set, as they were merged. - Rebased to the latest master, Slavomirs patchest "Add VM kernel tracing over vsockets and FIFOs" got merged! v12 changes: - Rebased on top of Slavomir's v13 "Add VM kernel tracing over vsockets and FIFOs" v11 changes: - Rebased on top of Slavomir's v10 "Add VM kernel tracing over vsockets and FIFOs" - Addressed Slavomir's commnents from version 10 of the patch series. v10 changes: - Fixed broken compilation, call to timestamp_correction_calc() in timestamp_correct was smashed. - Replaced deprecated tep_data_event_from_type() API with tep_find_event(). - Fixed a warning on assignment const to non const. v9 changes: - Fixed implementation of binary search algorithm in timestamp_correct() v8 changes: - Added rmdir() call in tracecmd_remove_instance(), to completely remove the instance. However, there is an issue with deleting the instances using rmdir(), which is investigated. - Few changes in read_qemu_guests_pids(), timestamp_correct(), tsync_offset_load() tracecmd_clock_context_new() and find_raw_events() suggested by Slavomir. v7 changes: - Added warning messages in case time synchronization cannot be negotiated or fails. - Few optimizations and checks in read_qemu_guests_pids(), tsync_offset_load(), and find_raw_events(), suggested by Slavomir Kaslev. - Reworked timestamp_correct() to not use static variables. - Check TRACECMD_OPTION_TIME_SHIFT before reading time sync samples from the trace.dat file v6 changes: - Refactored tracecmd_msg_snd_time_sync() and tracecmd_msg_rcv_time_sync() functions: removed any time sync calculations logic as separate functions in trace-timesync.c file - Defined TSYNC_PROBE, TSYNC_REQ and TSYNC_RESP messages, in order to make the time sync protocol comprehensible. - Addressed Steven Rostedt comments. - Addressed Slavomir Kaslev commnets. v5 changes: - Rebased to Slavomir's v8 "Add VM kernel tracing over vsockets and FIFOs" patch series. - Implemented an algorithm for time drift correction. - Addressed Slavomir's commnets. - Refactored the code: moved all time sync specific implementation in trace-timesync.c - Isolated all hardcoded event specific stuff in a structure, so it could be easily moved to external plugins. - Added a check for VSOCK support: do not perform vsock dependent time synchronisation in case there is no VSOCK support. v4 changes: - Removed the implementation of PTP-like algorithm. The current logic relies on matching time stamps of kvm_exit/virtio_transport_recv_pkt events on host to virtio_transport_alloc_pkt/vp_notify events on guest. - Rebased to Slavomir's v7 "Add VM kernel tracing over vsockets and FIFOs" patch series. - Decreased the time synch probes from 5000 to 300. - Addressed Steven Rostedt comments. - Code cleanup. v3 changes: - Removed any magic constants, used in the PTP-like algorithm, as Slavomir Kaslev suggested. - Implemented new algorithm, based on mapping kvm_exit events in host context to vsock_send events in guest context, suggested by Steven Rostedt. v2 changes: - Addressed Steven Rostedt comments. - Modified PTP-like timestamps sync algorithm to gain more accuracy, with the help of Yordan Karadzhov and Slavomir Kaslev.
