[RFC PATCH v3 0/2] tracing: add trace event for memory-failure

From: Xie XiuQi
Date: Tue Apr 07 2015 - 07:08:52 EST


RAS user space tools like rasdaemon which base on trace event, could
receive mce error event, but no memory recovery result event. So, I
want to add this event to make this scenario complete.

This patch add a event at ras group for memory-failure.

The output like below:
# tracer: nop
#
# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 2/2 #P:24
#
# _-----=> irqs-off
# / _----=> need-resched
# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
# || / _--=> preempt-depth
# ||| / delay
# TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | |||| | |
mce-inject-13150 [001] .... 277.019359: memory_failure_event: pfn 0x19869: recovery action for free buddy page: Delayed

v2->v3:
- rebase on top of linux-next
- based on Steven Rostedt's "tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro
to map enums to their values" patch set v1.

v1->v2:
- Comment update
- Just passing 'result' instead of 'action_name[result]',
suggested by Steve. And hard coded there because trace-cmd
and perf do not have a way to process enums.

memory-failure: export page_type and action result
tracing: add trace event for memory-failure
