DESCRIPTION
There are three ways to use `liblttng-ust`:
- * Using the man:tracef(3) API, which is similar to man:printf(3).
- * Using the man:tracelog(3) API, which is man:tracef(3) with
- a log level parameter.
+ * Using the man:lttng_ust_tracef(3) API, which is similar to
+ man:printf(3).
+ * Using the man:lttng_ust_tracelog(3) API, which is
+ man:lttng_ust_tracef(3) with a log level parameter.
* Defining your own tracepoints. See the
<<creating-tp,Creating a tracepoint provider>> section below.
+Compatibility with previous APIs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Since LTTng-UST{nbsp}2.13, the `LTTNG_UST_COMPAT_API_VERSION` definition
+controls which LTTng-UST APIs are available (compiled):
+
+Undefined::
+ All APIs are available.
+
+'N' (0 or positive integer)::
+ API version{nbsp}__N__, and all the following existing APIs, are
+ available. Previous APIs are not available (not compiled).
+
+The following table shows the mapping from LTTng-UST versions (up to
+LTTng-UST{nbsp}{manversion}) to available API versions:
+
+[options="header"]
+|====
+|LTTng-UST version |Available API versions
+|2.0 to 2.12 |0
+|2.13 |0 and 1
+|====
+
+This manual page **only** documents version{nbsp}1 of the API.
+
+If you wish to have access to version{nbsp}0 of the API (for example,
+the `tracepoint()`, `ctf_integer()`, and `TRACEPOINT_EVENT()` macros),
+then either don't define `LTTNG_UST_COMPAT_API_VERSION`, or define it to
+`0` before including any LTTng-UST header.

Creating a tracepoint provider
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creating a tracepoint provider is the first step of using
`liblttng-ust`. The next steps are:
- * <<tracepoint,Instrumenting your application with `tracepoint()` calls>>
+ * <<tracepoint,Instrumenting your application with
+ `lttng_ust_tracepoint()` calls>>
* Building your application with LTTng-UST support, either
<<build-static,statically>> or <<build-dynamic,dynamically>>.

-`TRACEPOINT_EVENT_CLASS()` usage
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_EVENT_CLASS()` usage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A *tracepoint class* is a class of tracepoints sharing the
same field types and names. A tracepoint instance is one instance of
such a declared tracepoint class, with its own event name.
-LTTng-UST creates one event serialization function per tracepoint
-class. Using `TRACEPOINT_EVENT()` creates one tracepoint class per
-tracepoint definition, whereas using `TRACEPOINT_EVENT_CLASS()` and
-`TRACEPOINT_EVENT_INSTANCE()` creates one tracepoint class, and one or
-more tracepoint instances of this class. In other words, many

+`LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_EVENT_INSTANCE()` creates one tracepoint class,
+and one or more tracepoint instances of this class. In other words, many
tracepoints can reuse the same serialization code. Reusing the same
code, when possible, can reduce cache pollution, thus improve
performance.

-the `TRACEPOINT_EVENT()` macro, except that instead of an event name,
-its second parameter is the _tracepoint class name_:

+
+Note that the `LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_EVENT_INSTANCE()` macro requires two

+
+* The name of the tracepoint class provider (`my_provider` in the
+ example above).
++
+This is the same as the first argument of the

+* The name of the local, or instance, provider (`natality` in the

++
+This is the provider name which becomes the prefix part of the name of
+the events which such a tracepoint creates.
+
+The two provider names may be different if the tracepoint class and the
+tracepoint instance macros are in two different translation units.

[[tracepoint-loglevel]]
-`TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL()` usage
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+`LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL()` usage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optionally, a *log level* can be assigned to a defined tracepoint.
Assigning different levels of severity to tracepoints can be useful:
when controlling tracing sessions, you can choose to only enable
man:lttng-enable-event(1) command.
Log levels are assigned to tracepoints that are already defined using
-the `TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL()` macro. The latter must be used after having
-used `TRACEPOINT_EVENT()` or `TRACEPOINT_EVENT_INSTANCE()` for a given
-tracepoint. The `TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL()` macro is used as follows:
+the `LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL()` macro. The latter must be used
+after having used `LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_EVENT()` or
+`LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_EVENT_INSTANCE()` for a given tracepoint. The
+`LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL()` macro is used as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL(
+LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL(
/* Tracepoint provider name */
my_provider,
my_tracepoint,
/* Log level */
- TRACE_INFO
+ LTTNG_UST_TRACEPOINT_LOGLEVEL_INFO
)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the tracepoint provider is created (see the
<<creating-tp,Creating a tracepoint provider>> section above), you can
instrument your application with the defined tracepoints thanks to the
-`tracepoint()` macro:
+`lttng_ust_tracepoint()` macro:
[verse]
-#define *tracepoint*('prov_name', 't_name', ...)
+#define *lttng_ust_tracepoint*('prov_name', 't_name', ...)
With:
Tracepoint arguments, if any.
Make sure to include the tracepoint provider header file anywhere you
-use `tracepoint()` for this provider.
+use `lttng_ust_tracepoint()` for this provider.
-NOTE: Even though LTTng-UST supports `tracepoint()` call site duplicates
-having the same provider and tracepoint names, it is recommended to use
-a provider/tracepoint name pair only once within the application source
-code to help map events back to their call sites when analyzing the
-trace.
+NOTE: Even though LTTng-UST supports `lttng_ust_tracepoint()` call site
+duplicates having the same provider and tracepoint names, it is
+recommended to use a provider/tracepoint name pair only once within the
+application source code to help map events back to their call sites when
+analyzing the trace.
Sometimes, arguments to the tracepoint are expensive to compute (take
call stack, for example). To avoid the computation when the tracepoint
-is disabled, you can use the `tracepoint_enabled()` and
-`do_tracepoint()` macros:
+is disabled, you can use the `lttng_ust_tracepoint_enabled()` and
+`lttng_ust_do_tracepoint()` macros:
[verse]
-#define *tracepoint_enabled*('prov_name', 't_name')
-#define *do_tracepoint*('prov_name', 't_name', ...)
+#define *lttng_ust_tracepoint_enabled*('prov_name', 't_name')
+#define *lttng_ust_do_tracepoint*('prov_name', 't_name', ...)
-`tracepoint_enabled()` returns a non-zero value if the tracepoint
+`lttng_ust_tracepoint_enabled()` returns a non-zero value if the tracepoint
named 't_name' from the provider named 'prov_name' is enabled at
run time.
-`do_tracepoint()` is like `tracepoint()`, except that it doesn't check
-if the tracepoint is enabled. Using `tracepoint()` with
-`tracepoint_enabled()` is dangerous since `tracepoint()` also contains
-the `tracepoint_enabled()` check, thus a race condition is possible

in this situation:

stuff = prepare_stuff();
}
-tracepoint(my_provider, my_tracepoint, stuff);
+lttng_ust_tracepoint(my_provider, my_tracepoint, stuff);
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the tracepoint is enabled after the condition, then `stuff` is not
prepared: the emitted event will either contain wrong data, or the
whole application could crash (segmentation fault, for example).
-NOTE: Neither `tracepoint_enabled()` nor `do_tracepoint()` have
-a `STAP_PROBEV()` call, so if you need it, you should emit this call
-yourself.

With the static linking method, compiled tracepoint providers are copied
into the target application.

At this point, you _can_ archive this tracepoint provider object file,
possibly with other object files of your application or with other
tracepoint provider object files, as a static library:

+$ ar rc tp.a tp.o

Using a static library does have the advantage of centralising the
tracepoint providers objects so they can be shared between multiple
provider's API changes).
Then, link your application with this object file (or with the static
-library containing it) and with `liblttng-ust` and `libdl`

-`LTTNG_UST_BLOCKING_RETRY_TIMEOUT`::
- Maximum duration (milliseconds) to retry event tracing when
- there's no space left for the event record in the sub-buffer.
+`LTTNG_UST_ALLOW_BLOCKING`::
+ If set, allow the application to retry event tracing when there's
+ no space left for the event record in the sub-buffer, therefore
+ effectively blocking the application until space is made available
+ or the configured timeout is reached.
+
---
-`0` (default)::
- Never block the application.
-
-Positive value::
- Block the application for the specified number of milliseconds. If
- there's no space left after this duration, discard the event
- record.
-
-Negative value::
- Block the application until there's space left for the event record.
---
+To allow an application to block during tracing, you also need to
+specify a blocking timeout when you create a channel with the
+nloption:--blocking-timeout option of the man:lttng-enable-channel(1)
+command.
+
This option can be useful in workloads generating very large trace data
throughput, where blocking the application is an acceptable trade-off to
prevent discarding event records.

-WARNING: Setting this environment variable to a non-zero value may
-significantly affect application timings.

`LTTNG_UST_CLOCK_PLUGIN`::
Path to the shared object which acts as the clock override plugin.
An example of such a plugin can be found in the LTTng-UST
documentation under
- https://github.com/lttng/lttng-ust/tree/master/doc/examples/clock-override[`examples/clock-override`].
+ https://github.com/lttng/lttng-ust/tree/v{lttng_version}/doc/examples/clock-override[`examples/clock-override`].
`LTTNG_UST_DEBUG`::
- Activates `liblttng-ust`'s debug and error output if set to `1`.
+ If set, enable `liblttng-ust`'s debug and error output.
`LTTNG_UST_GETCPU_PLUGIN`::
Path to the shared object which acts as the `getcpu()` override
plugin. An example of such a plugin can be found in the LTTng-UST
documentation under
- https://github.com/lttng/lttng-ust/tree/master/doc/examples/getcpu-override[`examples/getcpu-override`].
+ https://github.com/lttng/lttng-ust/tree/v{lttng_version}/doc/examples/getcpu-override[`examples/getcpu-override`].
`LTTNG_UST_REGISTER_TIMEOUT`::
Waiting time for the _registration done_ session daemon command
Setting this environment variable to `0` is recommended for applications
with time constraints on the process startup time.
+
-Default: {lttng_ust_register_timeout}.
-
-`LTTNG_UST_BLOCKING_RETRY_TIMEOUT`::
- Maximum time during which event tracing retry is attempted on buffer
- full condition (millliseconds). Setting this environment to non-zero
- value effectively blocks the application on buffer full condition.
- Setting this environment variable to non-zero values may
- significantly affect application timings. Setting this to a negative
- value may block the application indefinitely if there is no consumer
- emptying the ring buffer. The delay between retry attempts is the
- minimum between the specified timeout value and 100ms. This option
- can be useful in workloads generating very large trace data
- throughput, where blocking the application is an acceptable
- trade-off to not discard events. _Use with caution_.
-+
-The value `0` means _do not retry_. The value `-1` means _retry forever_.
-Value > `0` means a maximum timeout of the given value.
-+
-Default: {lttng_ust_blocking_retry_timeout}.
+Default: 3000.
`LTTNG_UST_WITHOUT_BADDR_STATEDUMP`::
- Prevents `liblttng-ust` from performing a base address state dump
- (see the <<state-dump,LTTng-UST state dump>> section above) if
- set to `1`.
+ If set, prevents `liblttng-ust` from performing a base address state
+ dump (see the <<state-dump,LTTng-UST state dump>> section above).
+
+`LTTNG_UST_WITHOUT_PROCNAME_STATEDUMP`::
+ If set, prevents `liblttng-ust` from performing a procname state
+ dump (see the <<state-dump,LTTng-UST state dump>> section above).
