From bc87cf0a08d437ea192b15f0918cb581a8698f15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2021 16:42:23 +0200 Subject: trace: Add a generic function to read/write u64 values from tracefs The hwlat detector and (in preparation for) the osnoise/timerlat tracers have a set of u64 parameters that the user can read/write via tracefs. For instance, we have hwlat_detector's window and width. To reduce the code duplication, hwlat's window and width share the same read function. However, they do not share the write functions because they do different parameter checks. For instance, the width needs to be smaller than the window, while the window needs to be larger than the window. The same pattern repeats on osnoise/timerlat, and a large portion of the code was devoted to the write function. Despite having different checks, the write functions have the same structure: read a user-space buffer take the lock that protects the value check for minimum and maximum acceptable values save the value release the lock return success or error To reduce the code duplication also in the write functions, this patch provides a generic read and write implementation for u64 values that need to be within some minimum and/or maximum parameters, while (potentially) being protected by a lock. To use this interface, the structure trace_min_max_param needs to be filled: struct trace_min_max_param { struct mutex *lock; u64 *val; u64 *min; u64 *max; }; The desired value is stored on the variable pointed by *val. If *min points to a minimum acceptable value, it will be checked during the write operation. Likewise, if *max points to a maximum allowable value, it will be checked during the write operation. Finally, if *lock points to a mutex, it will be taken at the beginning of the operation and released at the end. The definition of a trace_min_max_param needs to passed as the (private) *data for tracefs_create_file(), and the trace_min_max_fops (added by this patch) as the *fops file_operations.
