| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create "child_ready" event to capture the state of a child process created in the background. When a child command is started a "child_start" event is generated in the Trace2 log. For normal synchronous children, a "child_exit" event is later generated when the child exits or is terminated. The two events include information, such as the "child_id" and "pid", to allow post analysis to match-up the command line and exit status. When a child is started in the background (and may outlive the parent process), it is not possible for the parent to emit a "child_exit" event. Create a new "child_ready" event to indicate whether the child was successfully started. Also include the "child_id" and "pid" to allow similar post processing. This will be used in a later commit with the new "start_bg_command()". Signed-off-by: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | tr2: log parent process nameEmily Shaffer2021-07-221-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It can be useful to tell who invoked Git - was it invoked manually by a user via CLI or script? By an IDE? In some cases - like 'repo' tool - we can influence the source code and set the GIT_TRACE2_PARENT_SID environment variable from the caller process. In 'repo''s case, that parent SID is manipulated to include the string "repo", which means we can positively identify when Git was invoked by 'repo' tool. However, identifying parents that way requires both that we know which tools invoke Git and that we have the ability to modify the source code of those tools. It cannot scale to keep up with the various IDEs and wrappers which use Git, most of which we don't know about. Learning which tools and wrappers invoke Git, and how, would give us insight to decide where to improve Git's usability and performance. Unfortunately, there's no cross-platform reliable way to gather the name of the parent process. If procfs is present, we can use that; otherwise we will need to discover the name another way. However, the process ID should be sufficient to look up the process name on most platforms, so that code may be shareable. Git for Windows gathers similar information and logs it as a "data_json" event. However, since "data_json" has a variable format, it is difficult to parse effectively in some languages; instead, let's pursue a dedicated "cmd_ancestry" event to record information about the ancestry of the current process and a consistent, parseable way. Git for Windows also gathers information about more than one generation of parent. In Linux further ancestry info can be gathered with procfs, but it's unwieldy to do so. In the interest of later moving Git for Windows ancestry logging to the 'cmd_ancestry' event, and in the interest of later adding more ancestry to the Linux implementation - or of adding this functionality to other platforms which have an easier time walking the process tree - let's make 'cmd_ancestry' accept an array of parentage.

* | tr2: make process info collection platform-genericEmily Shaffer2021-07-221-6/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To pave the way for non-Windows platforms to define trace2_collect_process_info(), reorganize the stub-or-definition schema to something which doesn't directly reference Windows. Platforms which want to collect parent process information in the future should: 1. Add an implementation to compat/ (e.g. compat/somearch/procinfo.c) 2. Add that object to COMPAT_OBJS to config.mak.uname (e.g. COMPAT_OBJS += compat/somearch/procinfo.o) 3. Define HAVE_PLATFORM_PROCINFO in config.mak.uname In the Windows case, this definition lives in compat/win32/trace2_win32_process_info.c, which is already conditionally added to COMPAT_OBJS; so let's add HAVE_PLATFORM_PROCINFO to hint to the build that compat/stub/procinfo.c should not be used.

* trace2: teach Git to log environment variablesJosh Steadmon2020-03-231-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Via trace2, Git can already log interesting config parameters (see the trace2_cmd_list_config() function). However, this can grant an incomplete picture because many config parameters also allow overrides via environment variables. To allow for more complete logs, we add a new trace2_cmd_list_env_vars() function and supporting implementation, modeled after the pre-existing config param logging implementation.

* trace2: move doc to trace2.hHeba Waly2019-11-181-22/+102
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the functions documentation from Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt to trace2.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file. Only the functions documentation section is removed from Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt as the file is full of details that seemed more appropriate to be in a separate doc file as it is, with a link to the doc file added in the trace2.h. Also the functions doc is removed to avoid having redundandt info which will be hard to keep syncronized with the documentation in the header file.

* trace2: rename environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*SZEDER Gábor2019-05-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For an environment variable that is supposed to be set by users, the GIT_TR2* env vars are just too unclear, inconsistent, and ugly. Most of the established GIT_* environment variables don't use abbreviations, and in case of the few that do (GIT_DIR, GIT_COMMON_DIR, GIT_DIFF_OPTS) it's quite obvious what the abbreviations (DIR and OPTS) stand for. But what does TR stand for? Track, traditional, trailer, transaction, transfer, transformation, transition, translation, transplant, transport, traversal, tree, trigger, truncate, trust, or ...?! The trace2 facility, as the '2' suffix in its name suggests, is supposed to eventually supercede Git's original trace facility. It's reasonable to expect that the corresponding environment variables follow suit, and after the original GIT_TRACE variables they are called GIT_TRACE2; there is no such thing is 'GIT_TR'. All trace2-specific config variables are, very sensibly, in the 'trace2' section, not in 'tr2'. OTOH, we don't gain anything at all by omitting the last three characters of "trace" from the names of these environment variables. So let's rename all GIT_TR2* environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*, before they make their way into a stable release.

| * trace2: use system/global config for default trace2 settingsJeff Hostetler2019-04-161-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach git to read the system and global config files for default Trace2 settings. This allows system-wide Trace2 settings to be installed and inherited to make it easier to manage a collection of systems. The original GIT_TR2* environment variables are loaded afterwards and can be used to override the system settings. Only the system and global config files are used. Repo and worktree local config files are ignored. Likewise, the "-c" command line arguments are also ignored. These limits are for performance reasons. (1) For users not using Trace2, there should be minimal overhead to detect that Trace2 is not enabled. In particular, Trace2 should not allocate lots of otherwise unused data strucutres. (2) For accurate performance measurements, Trace2 should be initialized as early in the git process as possible, and before most of the normal git process initialization (which involves discovering the .git directory and reading a hierarchy of config files).

* | trace2: NULL is not allowed for va_listTorsten Bögershausen2019-03-201-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some compilers don't allow NULL to be passed for a va_list, and e.g. "gcc (Raspbian 6.3.0-18+rpi1+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516" errors out like this: trace2/tr2_tgt_event.c:193:18: error: invalid operands to binary && (have ‘int’ and ‘va_list {aka __va_list}’) if (fmt && *fmt && ap) { ^^ I couldn't find any hints that va_list and pointers can be mixed, and no hints that they can't either. Morten Welinder comments: "C99, Section 7.15, simply says that va_list "is an object type suitable for holding information needed by the macros va_start, va_end, and va_copy". So clearly not guaranteed to be mixable with pointers... The portable solution is to use "va_list" everywhere in the callchain. As a consequence, both trace2_region_enter_fl() and trace2_region_leave_fl() now take a variable argument list.

* trace2: create new combined trace facilityJeff Hostetler2019-02-221-0/+371
Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a unified set of git_trace2* routines. In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written. This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools. Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE). * GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command summary data. * GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE. It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread, repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function nesting. * GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a series of JSON records. Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance* routines.
