trace: better manage the context info for events
Impact: make trace_event more convenient for tracers
All tracers (for the moment) that use the struct trace_event want to
have the context info printed before their own output: the pid/cmdline,
cpu, and timestamp.
But some other tracers that want to implement their trace_event
callbacks will not necessary need these information or they may want to
format them as they want.
This patch adds a new default-enabled trace option:
TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO When disabled through:
echo nocontext-info > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options
The pid, cpu and timestamps headers will not be printed.
IE with the sched_switch tracer with context-info (default):
bash-2935 [001] 100.356561: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle>
<idle>-0 [000] 100.412804: 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0
<idle>-0 [000] 100.412816: 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0
events/0-11 [000] 100.412829: 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>
Without context-info:
2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle>
0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0
0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0
11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>
A tracer can disable it at runtime by clearing the bit
TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO in trace_flags.
The print routines were renamed to trace_print_context and
trace_print_lat_context, so that they can be used by tracers if they
want to use them for one of the trace_event callbacks.
