[PATCH 1/5] tracing: Support __rel_loc relative dynamic data location attribute

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Mon Nov 15 2021 - 05:20:38 EST


Add '__rel_loc' new dynamic data location attribute which encodes
the data location from the next to the field itself.

The '__data_loc' is used for encoding the dynamic data location on
the trace event record. But '__data_loc' is not useful if the writer
doesn't know the event header (e.g. user event), because it records
the dynamic data offset from the entry of the record, not the field
itself.

This new '__rel_loc' attribute encodes the data location relatively
from the next of the field. For example, when there is a record like
below (the number in the parentheses is the size of fields)

|header(N)|common(M)|fields(K)|__data_loc(4)|fields(L)|data(G)|

In this case, '__data_loc' field will be

__data_loc = (G << 16) | (N+M+K+4+L)

If '__rel_loc' is used, this will be

|header(N)|common(M)|fields(K)|__rel_loc(4)|fields(L)|data(G)|

where

__rel_loc = (G << 16) | (L)

(Because there is L bytes after the '__rel_loc' attribute field)

This is relatively easy (and no need to consider the kernel header
change) when the event data fields are composed by user who doesn't
know header and common fields.
