As the sqlhist example in the tracefs_sql(3) man page is becoming quite
the tool to use, give it its own man page!

+SQLHIST(1)
+==========
+
+NAME
+----
+sqlhist - Tool that uses SQL language to create / show creation of tracefs histograms and synthetic events.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*sqlhist* ['OPTIONS'] ['SQL-select-command']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The sqlhist(1) will take an SQL like statement to create tracefs histograms and
+synthetic events that can perform various actions for various handling of the
+data.
+
+The tracefs file system interfaces with the Linux tracing infrastructure that
+has various dynamic and static events through out the kernel. Each of these
+events can have a "histogram" attached to it, where the fields of the event
+will define the buckets of the histogram.
+
+A synthetic event is a way to attach two separate events and use the fields
+and time stamps of those events to create a new dynamic event. This new
+dynamic event is call a synthetic event. The fields of each event can have
+simple calculations done on them where, for example, the delta between
+a field of one event to a field of the other event can be taken. This also
+works for the time stamps of the events where the time delta between the
+two events can also be extracted and placed into the synthetic event.
+
+Other actions can be done from the fields of the events. A snapshot can
+be taken of the kernel ring buffer a variable used in the synthetic
+event creating hits a max, or simply changes.
+
+The commands to create histograms and synthetic events are complex and
+not easy to remember. *sqlhist* is used to convert SQL syntax into the
+commands needed to create the histogram or synthetic event.
+
+The *SQL-select-command* is a SQL string defined by *tracefs_sql*(3).
+
+Note, this must be run as root (or sudo) as interacting with the tracefs
+directory requires root privilege, unless the *-t* option is given with
+a copy of the _tracefs_ directory and its events.
+
+The *sqlhist* is a simple program where its code actual exists in the
+*tracefs_sql*(3) man page.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+*-n* 'name'::
+    The name of the synthetic event to create. This event can then be
+    used like any other event, and enabled via *trace-cmd*(1).
+
+*-t* 'tracefs-dir'::
+    In order to test this out as non root user, a copy of the tracefs directory
+    can be used, and passing that directory with this option will allow
+    the program to work. Obviously, *-e* will not work as non-root because
+    it will not be able to execute.
+
+    # mkdir /tmp/tracing
+    # cp -r /sys/kernel/tracing/events /tmp/tracing
+    # exit
+    $ ./sqlhist -t /tmp/tracing ...
+
+*-e*::
+    Not only display the commands to create the histogram, but also execute them.
+    This requires root privilege.
+
+*-f* 'file'::
+    Instead of reading the SQL commands from the command line, read them from
+    _file_. If _file_ is '-' then read from standard input.
+
+*-m* 'var'::
+    Do the given action when the variable _var_ hits a new maximum. This can
+    not be used with *-c*.
+
+*-c* 'var'::
+    Do the given action when the variable _var_ changes its value. This can
+    not be used with *-m*.
+
+*-s*::
+    Perform a snapshot instead of calling the synthetic event.
+
+*-T*::
+    Perform both a snapshot and trace the synthetic event.
+
+*-S* 'fields[,fields]'::
+    Save the given fields. The fields must be fields of the "end" event given
+    in the *SQL-select-command*
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+Create the sqlhist executable:
+
+[source, c]
+--
+   man tracefs_sql | sed -ne '/^EXAMPLE/,/FILES/ { /EXAMPLE/d ; /FILES/d ; p}' > sqlhist.c
+   gcc -o sqlhist sqlhist.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libtracefs`
+--
+
+As described above, for testing purposes, make a copy of the event directory:
+[source, c]
+--
+   $ mkdir /tmp/tracing
+   $ sudo cp -r /sys/kernel/tracing/events /tmp/tracing/
+   $ sudo chmod -R 0644 /tmp/tracing/
+--
+
+For an example of simple histogram output using the copy of the tracefs directory.
+[source, c]
+--
+   $ ./sqlhist -t /tmp/tracing/ 'SELECT CAST(call_site as SYM-OFFSET), bytes_req, CAST(bytes_alloc AS _COUNTER_) FROM kmalloc'
+--
+
+Produces the output:
+[source, c]
+--
+   echo 'hist:keys=call_site.sym-offset,bytes_req:vals=bytes_alloc' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+--
+
+Which could be used by root:
+[source, c]
+--
+   # echo 'hist:keys=call_site.sym-offset,bytes_req:vals=bytes_alloc' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+   # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist
+# event histogram
+#
+# trigger info: hist:keys=call_site.sym-offset,bytes_req:vals=hitcount,bytes_alloc:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

+Note, although the examples use uppercase for the SQL keywords, they do not have
+to be. 'SELECT' could also be 'select' or even 'sElEcT'.
+
+By using the full SQL language, synthetic events can be made and processed.
+For example, using *sqlhist* along with *trace-cmd*(1), wake up latency can
+be recorded by creating a synthetic event by attaching the _sched_waking_
+and the _sched_switch_ events.

+--
+
+Here's the options for *sqlhist* explained:
+
+ *-n wakeup_lat* ::
+     Name the synthetic event to use *wakeup_lat*.
+
+ *-e*::
+     Execute the commands that are printed.
+
+ *-T*::
+     Perform both a trace action and then a snapshot action (swap the buffer into the static 'snapshot' buffer).
+
+ *-m lat*::
+     Trigger the actions whenever 'lat' hits a new maximum value.
+
+Now a breakdown of the SQL statement:
+[source, c]
+--
+ 'SELECT end.next_comm AS comm, (end.TIMESTAMP_USECS - start.TIMESTAMP_USECS) AS lat FROM ' \
+    'sched_waking AS start JOIN sched_switch AS end ON start.pid = end.next_pid WHERE end.next_prio < 100 && end.next_comm == "cyclictest"'
+--
+ *end.next_comm AS comm*::
+   Save the 'sched_switch' field *next_comm* and place it into the *comm* field of the 'wakeup_lat' synthetic event.
+
+ *(end.TIMESTAMP_USECS - start.TIMESTAMP_USECS) AS lat*::
+   Take the delta of the time stamps from the 'sched_switch' event and the 'sched_waking' event.
+   As time stamps are usually recorded in nanoseconds, *TIMESTAMP* would give the full nanosecond time stamp,
+   but here, the *TIMESTAMP_USECS* will truncate it into microseconds. The value is saved in the
+   variable *lat*, which will also be recorded in the synthetic event.
+
+ *FROM 'sched_waking' AS start JOIN sched_switch AS end ON start.pid = end.next_pid*::
+   Create the synthetic event by joining _sched_waking_ to _sched_switch_, matching
+   the _sched_waking_ 'pid' field with the _sched_switch_ 'next_pid' field.
+   Also make *start* an alias for _sched_waking_ and *end* an alias for _sched_switch_
+   which then an use *start* and *end* as a subsitute for _sched_waking_ and _sched_switch_
+   respectively through out the rest of the SQL statement.
+
+ *WHERE end.next_prio < 100 && end.next_comm == "cyclictest"*::
+   Filter the logic where it executes only if _sched_waking_ 'next_prio' field
+   is less than 100. (Note, in the Kernel, priorities are inverse, and the real-time
+   priorities are represented from 0-100 where 0 is the highest priority).
+   Also only trace when the 'next_comm' (the task scheduling in) of the _sched_switch_
+   event has the name "cyclictest".
+
+For the *trace-cmd*(3) command:
+[source, c]
+--
+   trace-cmd start -e all -e wakeup_lat -R stacktrace
+--
+
+ *trace-cmd start*::
+   Enables tracing (does not record to a file).
+
+ *-e all*::
+   Enable all events
+
+ *-e wakeup_lat -R stacktrace*::
+   have the "wakeup_lat" event (our synthetic event) enable the *stacktrace* trigger, were
+   for every instance of the "wakeup_lat" event, a kernel stack trace will be recorded
+   in the ring buffer.
+
+After calling *cyclictest* (a real-time tool to measure wakeup latency), read the snapshot
+buffer.
+
+ *trace-cmd show -s*::
+   *trace-cmd show* reads the kernel ring buffer, and the *-s* option will read the *snapshot*
+   buffer instead of the normal one.
+
+[source, c]
+--
+ <idle>-0       [002] d..4 23454.902256: wakeup_lat: next_comm=cyclictest lat=17
+--
+  We see on the "wakeup_lat" event happened on CPU 2, with a wake up latency 17 microseconds.
+
+This can be extracted into a *trace.dat* file that *trace-cmd*(3) can read and do further
+analysis, as well as *kernelshark*.

+BUGS
+----
+
+As *sqlhist* is just example code from a man page, it is guaranteed to contain
+lots of bugs. For one thing, not all error paths are covered properly.
