Rename "tracing session" -> "recording session" 2021-06-15T02:52:02Z Philippe Proulx eeppeliteloop@gmail.com Jérémie Galarneau jeremie.galarneau@efficios.com 2021-06-15T02:52:02Z https://git.lttng.org?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff;h=e971184584781f70bbbfc52bbede8b9abf0436e5
Rename "tracing session" -> "recording session"

Starting from LTTng 2.13, _tracing_ is defined as attempting to execute
one or more actions when emitting an event, which is very close to the
trigger definition.

To highlight that a tracing session is only about event recording,
rename this concept to _recording session_.

This patch mostly changes the manual pages, although I also updated some
C source and other files which contain user-facing text to use the new
term.

I didn't update logging messages because debugging scripts could still
refer to "tracing sessions".

The lttng-concepts(7) manual page mentions that the "recording session"
term was "tracing session" before LTTng 2.13.

doc/man: use double quotes when referring to internal section 2021-06-14T17:05:37Z Philippe Proulx eeppeliteloop@gmail.com Jérémie Galarneau jeremie.galarneau@efficios.com 2021-06-14T17:05:37Z https://git.lttng.org?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff;h=da39b67ce2828bfc63a02db969048bfe1abd4ca0
doc/man: use double quotes when referring to internal section

This patch adds double quotes to all the manual page internal section
references using their full name. Those references often have the
following AsciiDoc form:

    See the <<id,Full section name>> section below.

With this patch, this would be converted to:

    See the ``<<id,Full section name>>'' section below.

In the rendered manual page, before this patch:

    See the Full section name section below.
            ¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯
With this patch:

    See the “Full section name” section below.

The purpose of this patch is, thanks to the change in
`doc/man/manpage.xsl`, to remove the italic style for the text of
internal links. Because there's no way to create dynamic internal links
in a manual page, this style causes internal links to look weird when
they're not a full section name, for example:

    Note that the trigger doesn't need to [...]
                  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The HTML rendering of LTTng-tools manual pages can still benefit from
internal links. This patch makes it possible to add more internal links
without degrading the visual style of manual pages when rendered in a
terminal.

Update the remaining manual pages for LTTng-tools 2.13

This patch updates the remaining manual pages for LTTng-tools 2.13.

This patch:

* Improves the consistency of some command descriptions in
  `configure.ac`.

* Adds `common-daemon-cfg.txt` which is a section explaining how to
  configure a daemon (session or relay).

  lttng-sessiond(8) and lttng-relayd(8) include this file.

* Adds `lttng-concepts.7.txt` which is an adapted copy of the
  "Core concepts" section of the online LTTng Documentation.

  This centralizes all the LTTng theory into a single manual page
  instead of having this information split into multiple lttng(1)
  command manual pages.

  Many manual pages now refer to lttng-concepts(7), making it possible
  to cut a lot of text in those.

* Updates existing manual pages to:

  * Have a style and voice which is more consistent with the LTTng
    Documentation (website) for 2.13.

  * Fix various terminology ambiguities.

  * Use more textual variables and lists to explain more complex logic
    and processes.

  * Always use the same pattern to specify the behaviour of an lttng(1)
    command depending on the `SESSION` argument or the `--session`
    option.

  * For the commands which can perform more than one task, list their
    available tasks at the beginning of the "DESCRIPTION" section.

  * For some lttng(1) commands which can operate on all tracing sessions
    (for example, lttng-clear(1) and lttng-destroy(1)), always indicate
    that they target all your Unix user's tracing sessions or, if your
    Unix user is `root`, the tracing sessions of all the Unix users
    within the root session daemon.

  * Clean the "SEE ALSO" sections.

  * Always have "LTTng" in the "NAME" section of a manual page.

  More specifically:

  lttng-create(1):
      * Clarify the tracing session modes.

      * Clarify how the command adds (or not) a snapshot output for a
        snapshot mode tracing session.

      * Specify that `--output=DIR` is equivalent to
        `--set-url=file://DIR`.

  lttng-enable-channel(1):
      Include the `--discard`, `--buffers-uid`, and `--buffers-global`
      options in the "SYNOPSIS" section even if they are the current
      defaults.

  lttng-list(1):
      Explain what this command does exactly using a tree of options
      and arguments.

  lttng-load(1):
      Clarify how LTTng finds tracing session configurations.

  lttng-relayd(8):
      * Document the missing `--group` option.

      * Rework the text in general.

      * Add a daemon configuration section with an INI file example.

      * Add more cross-references between options and equivalent
        environment variables.

  lttng-rotate(1):
      Specify that the `rotate-session` trigger action can also rotate
      a tracing session.

  lttng-save(1):
      Clarify the output path.

  lttng-sessiond(8):
      Add more cross-references between options and equivalent
      environment variables.

  lttng-shapshot(1):
      * Clarify everything related to the snapshot output of a tracing
        session, including when and how the lttng-create(1) command adds
        an initial snapshot output.

      * Specify that the `snapshot-session` trigger action can also take
        a snapshot of a tracing session.

  lttng-track(1):
  lttng-untrack(1):
      * Simply refer to allowing processes to record events and to
        process attribute inclusion sets instead of using the vague
        "tracker" terminology.

      * Restate that those commands control an implicit condition of
        a recording event rule, as per lttng-concepts(7).

      * Improve the documentation of each inclusion set selection
        option.

Update some manual pages for LTTng-tools 2.13

This patch updates some manual pages for LTTng-tools 2.13. A few pages
still remain to be updated, a task which is reserved for a subsequent
patch.

This patch:

* Improves the consistency of the the command descriptions in
  `configure.ac`.

* Adds `common-help-option.txt` which is the description of any
  `--help` option.

* Adds `common-intro.txt` which is a common description introduction for
  the top-level manual pages.

* Adds `lttng-event-rule.7.txt` which describes the common way to
  specify an event rule on the command-line.

  lttng-event-rule(7) has a "Migration from a recording event rule
  specification" section with a table which shows the relationship
  between lttng-enable-event(1) command-line arguments and
  lttng-event-rule(7) options.

  As of this patch, only `lttng-add-trigger.1.txt` references it,
  for the `event-rule-matches` trigger condition.

  `Makefile.am` is also updated to build and include manual pages of
  section 7.

* Updates existing manual pages to:

  * Have a style and voice which is more consistent with the
    LTTng Documentation (website) for 2.13.

  * Fix various terminology ambiguities.

  * Use more textual variables and lists to explain more complex logic
    and processes.

  More specifically:

  lttng-add-context(1):
      Specify that this command adds context fields to be recorded
      to the event records of one or more channels.

      In other words, this is a recording-related command. You don't
      need to use it to access context fields with the filter expression
      of an event rule, for example.

  lttng-add-trigger(1):
      * Update the "NAME" section.

      * Add internal option links where missing.

      * Improve the description.

        Add links to the lttng-remove-trigger(1) and
        lttng-list-triggers(1) manual pages and explain what those
        commands are used for.

        Use "condition specifier" and "action specifier" terms to
        describe those groups of options.

        For condition and action specifiers, use localized synopses.

        For action specifiers, add links to the corresponding LTTng
        command manual pages.

      * Document the `--owner-id` option.

      * Group option descriptions.

      * Use "name" instead of "ID".

      * Refer to the new lttng-event-rule(7) manual page.

      * Remove the "no context field" limitation for `ERSPEC`.

      * Fix verse blocks nested in lists.

  lttng-create(1):
      * Add more documentation about tracing sessions.

      * Specify that the `create` command can spawn a session daemon.

      * Add the "Current tracing session" section to explain this
        concept and where it applies.

      * Clarify the "URL format" section.

  lttng-disable-event(1):
      Explain how this command can only find recording event rules
      to disable by instrumentation point type and event name condition.

  lttng-enable-event(1):
      I more or less completely rewrote this page.

      The document now clearly explains the related core concepts, shows
      the explicit and implicit conditions of a recording event rule,
      has one section for each condition explaining how an event can
      satisfy it, and more.

      The synopsis is more accurate.

      I added an "Event record name" section to indicate what's the name
      of a matched event depending on the instrumentation point type and
      some command-line arguments.

      I also added an "Enable a disabled recording event rule" section
      to explain how the `enable-event` command enables existing,
      disabled events.

      This manual page now documents all the options, even if they're
      the default, as defaults may change in the future.

      The new lttng-event-rule(7) manual page is based on this one, but
      with its own ways to specify event rule conditions.

  lttng-remove-trigger(1):
      * Use "name" instead of "ID".
      * Use `--owner-id` instead of `--user-id`.

  lttng-sessiond(8):
      * Explain what an LTTng session daemon does.

      * Clarify everything related to the tracing group and root
        session daemon.

      * Add a "Daemon configuration" section which explains the
        INI configuration files and the `--config` option.

      * Make the "Tracing session configuration loading" section
        (renamed) much more straightforward, with less text.

      * Specify that the `--daemonize` and `--background` options
        make `lttng-sessiond` only exit when the daemon is ready to
        receive client commands.

  lttng-set-session(1):
      List which commands rely on the current tracing session
      concept.

  lttng(1):
      * Add a "Session daemon connection" section which shows how the
        `lttng` tool (or any LTTng tracing control application) connects
        to a session daemon (user-specific vs. root session daemon).

      * Use tables to list the available commands.

doc/man: use specific revision date for each manual page

This patch makes each manual page indicate its own revision date with
the `revdate` AsciiDoc attribute.

In `asciidoc.conf`, we use this attribute to specify the DocBook
reference page date (see
<https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/4.5/refentryinfo.html> and
<https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/4.5/date.html>).

Without the DocBook date tag, `xmlto` uses the current date. You can
see this date at the bottom of the rendered manual page:

    ...

    SEE ALSO
           lttng-enable-rotation(1), lttng-disable-rotation(1), lttng(1)

    LTTng 2.12.0-pre             10/18/2019              LTTNG-ROTATE(1)

Using the manual page generation date seems unexpected for the reader
here.

For this initial change, I used the last commit date for each source
file.
