[PATCH v1 1/2] thunderbolt: add tracefs support to tb_* logging helpers

From: Łukasz Bartosik
Date: Thu Jul 27 2023 - 09:15:19 EST


Thunderbolt tracing is a lightweight alternative to traditional
thunderbolt debug logging. While thunderbolt debug logging is quite
convenient when reproducing a specific issue, it doesn't help when
something goes wrong unexpectedly. There are a couple of reasons why
one does not want to enable thunderbolt debug logging at all times:

1. We don't want to overwhelm kernel log with thunderbolt spam, others
want to use it too
2. Console logging is slow

Thunderbolt tracing aims to solve both these problems. Use of
the thunderbolt tracefs instance allows to enable thunderbolt
logging in production without impacting performance or spamming
the system logs.

To use thunderbolt tracing, set the thunderbolt.trace module parameter
(via cmdline or sysfs) to true:
::
eg: echo true > /sys/module/thunderbolt/parameters/trace

Once active, all log messages will be written to the thunderbolt trace.
Once at capacity, the trace will overwrite old messages with new ones.
At any point, one can read the trace file to extract the previous
thunderbolt messages:
::
eg: cat /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/thunderbolt/trace

The thunderbolt trace instance is subsystem wide, so if you have multiple
devices active, they will be adding logs to the same trace.
