@@ -520,1550 +520,4 @@ The following commands are supported:
   totals derived from one or more trace event format fields and/or
   event counts (hitcount).
 
-  The format of a hist trigger is as follows::
-
-        hist:keys=<field1[,field2,...]>[:values=<field1[,field2,...]>]
-          [:sort=<field1[,field2,...]>][:size=#entries][:pause][:continue]
-          [:clear][:name=histname1] [if <filter>]
-
-  When a matching event is hit, an entry is added to a hash table
-  using the key(s) and value(s) named.  Keys and values correspond to
-  fields in the event's format description.  Values must correspond to
-  numeric fields - on an event hit, the value(s) will be added to a
-  sum kept for that field.  The special string 'hitcount' can be used
-  in place of an explicit value field - this is simply a count of
-  event hits.  If 'values' isn't specified, an implicit 'hitcount'
-  value will be automatically created and used as the only value.
-  Keys can be any field, or the special string 'stacktrace', which
-  will use the event's kernel stacktrace as the key.  The keywords
-  'keys' or 'key' can be used to specify keys, and the keywords
-  'values', 'vals', or 'val' can be used to specify values.  Compound
-  keys consisting of up to two fields can be specified by the 'keys'
-  keyword.  Hashing a compound key produces a unique entry in the
-  table for each unique combination of component keys, and can be
-  useful for providing more fine-grained summaries of event data.
-  Additionally, sort keys consisting of up to two fields can be
-  specified by the 'sort' keyword.  If more than one field is
-  specified, the result will be a 'sort within a sort': the first key
-  is taken to be the primary sort key and the second the secondary
-  key.  If a hist trigger is given a name using the 'name' parameter,
-  its histogram data will be shared with other triggers of the same
-  name, and trigger hits will update this common data.  Only triggers
-  with 'compatible' fields can be combined in this way; triggers are
-  'compatible' if the fields named in the trigger share the same
-  number and type of fields and those fields also have the same names.
-  Note that any two events always share the compatible 'hitcount' and
-  'stacktrace' fields and can therefore be combined using those
-  fields, however pointless that may be.
-
-  'hist' triggers add a 'hist' file to each event's subdirectory.
-  Reading the 'hist' file for the event will dump the hash table in
-  its entirety to stdout.  If there are multiple hist triggers
-  attached to an event, there will be a table for each trigger in the
-  output.  The table displayed for a named trigger will be the same as
-  any other instance having the same name. Each printed hash table
-  entry is a simple list of the keys and values comprising the entry;
-  keys are printed first and are delineated by curly braces, and are
-  followed by the set of value fields for the entry.  By default,
-  numeric fields are displayed as base-10 integers.  This can be
-  modified by appending any of the following modifiers to the field
-  name:
-
-        - .hex        display a number as a hex value
-	- .sym        display an address as a symbol
-	- .sym-offset display an address as a symbol and offset
-	- .syscall    display a syscall id as a system call name
-	- .execname   display a common_pid as a program name
-
-  Note that in general the semantics of a given field aren't
-  interpreted when applying a modifier to it, but there are some
-  restrictions to be aware of in this regard:
-
-    - only the 'hex' modifier can be used for values (because values
-      are essentially sums, and the other modifiers don't make sense
-      in that context).
-    - the 'execname' modifier can only be used on a 'common_pid'.  The
-      reason for this is that the execname is simply the 'comm' value
-      saved for the 'current' process when an event was triggered,
-      which is the same as the common_pid value saved by the event
-      tracing code.  Trying to apply that comm value to other pid
-      values wouldn't be correct, and typically events that care save
-      pid-specific comm fields in the event itself.
-
-  A typical usage scenario would be the following to enable a hist
-  trigger, read its current contents, and then turn it off::
-
-	  # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
-	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
-
-	  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist
-
-	  # echo '!hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
-	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
-
-  The trigger file itself can be read to show the details of the
-  currently attached hist trigger.  This information is also displayed
-  at the top of the 'hist' file when read.
-
-  By default, the size of the hash table is 2048 entries.  The 'size'
-  parameter can be used to specify more or fewer than that.  The units
-  are in terms of hashtable entries - if a run uses more entries than
-  specified, the results will show the number of 'drops', the number
-  of hits that were ignored.  The size should be a power of 2 between
-  128 and 131072 (any non- power-of-2 number specified will be rounded
-  up).
-
-  The 'sort' parameter can be used to specify a value field to sort
-  on.  The default if unspecified is 'hitcount' and the default sort
-  order is 'ascending'.  To sort in the opposite direction, append
-  .descending' to the sort key.
-
-  The 'pause' parameter can be used to pause an existing hist trigger
-  or to start a hist trigger but not log any events until told to do
-  so.  'continue' or 'cont' can be used to start or restart a paused
-  hist trigger.
-
-  The 'clear' parameter will clear the contents of a running hist
-  trigger and leave its current paused/active state.
-
-  Note that the 'pause', 'cont', and 'clear' parameters should be
-  applied using 'append' shell operator ('>>') if applied to an
-  existing trigger, rather than via the '>' operator, which will cause
-  the trigger to be removed through truncation.
-
-- enable_hist/disable_hist
-
-  The enable_hist and disable_hist triggers can be used to have one
-  event conditionally start and stop another event's already-attached
-  hist trigger.  Any number of enable_hist and disable_hist triggers
-  can be attached to a given event, allowing that event to kick off
-  and stop aggregations on a host of other events.
-
-  The format is very similar to the enable/disable_event triggers::
-
-      enable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
-      disable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
-
-  Instead of enabling or disabling the tracing of the target event
-  into the trace buffer as the enable/disable_event triggers do, the
-  enable/disable_hist triggers enable or disable the aggregation of
-  the target event into a hash table.
-
-  A typical usage scenario for the enable_hist/disable_hist triggers
-  would be to first set up a paused hist trigger on some event,
-  followed by an enable_hist/disable_hist pair that turns the hist
-  aggregation on and off when conditions of interest are hit::
-
-	  # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len:pause' > \
-	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-
-	  # echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
-	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
-
-	  # echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
-	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
-
-  The above sets up an initially paused hist trigger which is unpaused
-  and starts aggregating events when a given program is executed, and
-  which stops aggregating when the process exits and the hist trigger
-  is paused again.
-
-  The examples below provide a more concrete illustration of the
-  concepts and typical usage patterns discussed above.
-
-
-6.2 'hist' trigger examples
----------------------------
-
-  The first set of examples creates aggregations using the kmalloc
-  event.  The fields that can be used for the hist trigger are listed
-  in the kmalloc event's format file::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/format
-    name: kmalloc
-    ID: 374
-    format:
-	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
-	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
-	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;		offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;
-	field:int common_pid;					offset:4;	size:4;	signed:1;
-
-	field:unsigned long call_site;				offset:8;	size:8;	signed:0;
-	field:const void * ptr;					offset:16;	size:8;	signed:0;
-	field:size_t bytes_req;					offset:24;	size:8;	signed:0;
-	field:size_t bytes_alloc;				offset:32;	size:8;	signed:0;
-	field:gfp_t gfp_flags;					offset:40;	size:4;	signed:0;
-
-  We'll start by creating a hist trigger that generates a simple table
-  that lists the total number of bytes requested for each function in
-  the kernel that made one or more calls to kmalloc::
-
-    # echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
-            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
-
-  This tells the tracing system to create a 'hist' trigger using the
-  call_site field of the kmalloc event as the key for the table, which
-  just means that each unique call_site address will have an entry
-  created for it in the table.  The 'val=bytes_req' parameter tells
-  the hist trigger that for each unique entry (call_site) in the
-  table, it should keep a running total of the number of bytes
-  requested by that call_site.
-
-  We'll let it run for awhile and then dump the contents of the 'hist'
-  file in the kmalloc event's subdirectory (for readability, a number
-  of entries have been omitted)::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist
-    # trigger info: hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

-    Totals:
-        Hits: 4610

-        Dropped: 0
-
-  The output displays a line for each entry, beginning with the key
-  specified in the trigger, followed by the value(s) also specified in
-  the trigger.  At the beginning of the output is a line that displays
-  the trigger info, which can also be displayed by reading the
-  'trigger' file::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
-    hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]
-
-  At the end of the output are a few lines that display the overall
-  totals for the run.  The 'Hits' field shows the total number of
-  times the event trigger was hit, the 'Entries' field shows the total
-  number of used entries in the hash table, and the 'Dropped' field
-  shows the number of hits that were dropped because the number of
-  used entries for the run exceeded the maximum number of entries
-  allowed for the table (normally 0, but if not a hint that you may
-  want to increase the size of the table using the 'size' parameter).
-
-  Notice in the above output that there's an extra field, 'hitcount',
-  which wasn't specified in the trigger.  Also notice that in the
-  trigger info output, there's a parameter, 'sort=hitcount', which
-  wasn't specified in the trigger either.  The reason for that is that
-  every trigger implicitly keeps a count of the total number of hits
-  attributed to a given entry, called the 'hitcount'.  That hitcount
-  information is explicitly displayed in the output, and in the
-  absence of a user-specified sort parameter, is used as the default
-  sort field.
-
-  The value 'hitcount' can be used in place of an explicit value in
-  the 'values' parameter if you don't really need to have any
-  particular field summed and are mainly interested in hit
-  frequencies.
-
-  To turn the hist trigger off, simply call up the trigger in the
-  command history and re-execute it with a '!' prepended::
-
-    # echo '!hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
-
-  Finally, notice that the call_site as displayed in the output above
-  isn't really very useful.  It's an address, but normally addresses
-  are displayed in hex.  To have a numeric field displayed as a hex
-  value, simply append '.hex' to the field name in the trigger::
-
-    # echo 'hist:key=call_site.hex:val=bytes_req' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist

-  Even that's only marginally more useful - while hex values do look
-  more like addresses, what users are typically more interested in

-  Because the default sort key above is 'hitcount', the above shows a
-  the list of call_sites by increasing hitcount, so that at the bottom
-  we see the functions that made the most kmalloc calls during the
-  run.  If instead we we wanted to see the top kmalloc callers in
-  terms of the number of bytes requested rather than the number of
-  calls, and we wanted the top caller to appear at the top, we can use
-  the 'sort' parameter, along with the 'descending' modifier::

-  Finally, to finish off our kmalloc example, instead of simply having
-  the hist trigger display symbolic call_sites, we can have the hist
-  trigger additionally display the complete set of kernel stack traces
-  that led to each call_site.  To do that, we simply use the special
-  value 'stacktrace' for the key parameter::
-
-    # echo 'hist:keys=stacktrace:values=bytes_req,bytes_alloc:sort=bytes_alloc' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
-
-  The above trigger will use the kernel stack trace in effect when an
-  event is triggered as the key for the hash table.  This allows the
-  enumeration of every kernel callpath that led up to a particular
-  event, along with a running total of any of the event fields for
-  that event.  Here we tally bytes requested and bytes allocated for
-  every callpath in the system that led up to a kmalloc (in this case
-  every callpath to a kmalloc for a kernel compile)::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist

-  If you key a hist trigger on common_pid, in order for example to

-  The syscall counts above provide a rough overall picture of system
-  call activity on the system; we can see for example that the most
-  popular system call on this system was the 'sys_ioctl' system call.
-
-  We can use 'compound' keys to refine that number and provide some
-  further insight as to which processes exactly contribute to the
-  overall ioctl count.
-
-  The command below keeps a hitcount for every unique combination of
-  system call id and pid - the end result is essentially a table
-  that keeps a per-pid sum of system call hits.  The results are
-  sorted using the system call id as the primary key, and the
-  hitcount sum as the secondary key::

-  The above list does give us a breakdown of the ioctl syscall by
-  pid, but it also gives us quite a bit more than that, which we
-  don't really care about at the moment.  Since we know the syscall
-  id for sys_ioctl (16, displayed next to the sys_ioctl name), we
-  can use that to filter out all the other syscalls::

-  The above output shows that 'compiz' and 'Xorg' are far and away
-  the heaviest ioctl callers (which might lead to questions about
-  whether they really need to be making all those calls and to
-  possible avenues for further investigation.)
-
-  The compound key examples used a key and a sum value (hitcount) to
-  sort the output, but we can just as easily use two keys instead.
-  Here's an example where we use a compound key composed of the the
-  common_pid and size event fields.  Sorting with pid as the primary
-  key and 'size' as the secondary key allows us to display an
-  ordered summary of the recvfrom sizes, with counts, received by
-  each process::

-  The above example also illustrates the fact that although a compound
-  key is treated as a single entity for hashing purposes, the sub-keys
-  it's composed of can be accessed independently.
-
-  The next example uses a string field as the hash key and
-  demonstrates how you can manually pause and continue a hist trigger.
-  In this example, we'll aggregate fork counts and don't expect a
-  large number of entries in the hash table, so we'll drop it to a
-  much smaller number, say 256::

-  The previous example showed how to start and stop a hist trigger by
-  appending 'pause' and 'continue' to the hist trigger command.  A
-  hist trigger can also be started in a paused state by initially
-  starting the trigger with ':pause' appended.  This allows you to
-  start the trigger only when you're ready to start collecting data
-  and not before.  For example, you could start the trigger in a
-  paused state, then unpause it and do something you want to measure,
-  then pause the trigger again when done.
-
-  Of course, doing this manually can be difficult and error-prone, but
-  it is possible to automatically start and stop a hist trigger based
-  on some condition, via the enable_hist and disable_hist triggers.
-
-  For example, suppose we wanted to take a look at the relative
-  weights in terms of skb length for each callpath that leads to a
-  netif_receieve_skb event when downloading a decent-sized file using
-  wget.
-
-  First we set up an initially paused stacktrace trigger on the
-  netif_receive_skb event::
-
-    # echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:pause' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-
-  Next, we set up an 'enable_hist' trigger on the sched_process_exec
-  event, with an 'if filename==/usr/bin/wget' filter.  The effect of
-  this new trigger is that it will 'unpause' the hist trigger we just
-  set up on netif_receive_skb if and only if it sees a
-  sched_process_exec event with a filename of '/usr/bin/wget'.  When
-  that happens, all netif_receive_skb events are aggregated into a
-  hash table keyed on stacktrace::
-
-    # echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
-
-  The aggregation continues until the netif_receive_skb is paused
-  again, which is what the following disable_hist event does by
-  creating a similar setup on the sched_process_exit event, using the
-  filter 'comm==wget'::
-
-    # echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
-
-  Whenever a process exits and the comm field of the disable_hist
-  trigger filter matches 'comm==wget', the netif_receive_skb hist
-  trigger is disabled.
-
-  The overall effect is that netif_receive_skb events are aggregated
-  into the hash table for only the duration of the wget.  Executing a
-  wget command and then listing the 'hist' file will display the
-  output generated by the wget command::
-
-    $ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz
-

-  The above shows all the netif_receive_skb callpaths and their total
-  lengths for the duration of the wget command.
-
-  The 'clear' hist trigger param can be used to clear the hash table.
-  Suppose we wanted to try another run of the previous example but
-  this time also wanted to see the complete list of events that went
-  into the histogram.  In order to avoid having to set everything up
-  again, we can just clear the histogram first::
-
-    # echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:clear' >> \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-
-  Just to verify that it is in fact cleared, here's what we now see in
-  the hist file::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist
-    # trigger info: hist:keys=stacktrace:vals=len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [paused]
-
-    Totals:
-        Hits: 0

-
-  Since we want to see the detailed list of every netif_receive_skb
-  event occurring during the new run, which are in fact the same
-  events being aggregated into the hash table, we add some additional
-  'enable_event' events to the triggering sched_process_exec and
-  sched_process_exit events as such::
-
-    # echo 'enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
-
-    # echo 'disable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
-
-  If you read the trigger files for the sched_process_exec and
-  sched_process_exit triggers, you should see two triggers for each:
-  one enabling/disabling the hist aggregation and the other
-  enabling/disabling the logging of events::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
-    enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
-    enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
-    enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
-    disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
-
-  In other words, whenever either of the sched_process_exec or
-  sched_process_exit events is hit and matches 'wget', it enables or
-  disables both the histogram and the event log, and what you end up
-  with is a hash table and set of events just covering the specified
-  duration.  Run the wget command again::
-
-    $ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz
-
-  Displaying the 'hist' file should show something similar to what you
-  saw in the last run, but this time you should also see the
-  individual events in the trace file::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
-
-    # tracer: nop
-    #
-    # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 183/1426   #P:4

-  The following example demonstrates how multiple hist triggers can be
-  attached to a given event.  This capability can be useful for
-  creating a set of different summaries derived from the same set of
-  events, or for comparing the effects of different filters, among
-  other things.
-  ::
-
-    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len < 0' >> \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len > 4096' >> \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len == 256' >> \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' >> \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-    # echo 'hist:keys=len:vals=common_preempt_count' >> \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-
-  The above set of commands create four triggers differing only in
-  their filters, along with a completely different though fairly
-  nonsensical trigger.  Note that in order to append multiple hist
-  triggers to the same file, you should use the '>>' operator to
-  append them ('>' will also add the new hist trigger, but will remove
-  any existing hist triggers beforehand).
-
-  Displaying the contents of the 'hist' file for the event shows the
-  contents of all five histograms::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist
-
-    # event histogram

-  Named triggers can be used to have triggers share a common set of
-  histogram data.  This capability is mostly useful for combining the
-  output of events generated by tracepoints contained inside inline
-  functions, but names can be used in a hist trigger on any event.
-  For example, these two triggers when hit will update the same 'len'
-  field in the shared 'foo' histogram data::
-
-    # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
-    # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
-
-  You can see that they're updating common histogram data by reading
-  each event's hist files at the same time::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist;
-      cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist
-
-    # event histogram
-    #
-    # trigger info: hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=hitcount,len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

-  And here's an example that shows how to combine histogram data from
-  any two events even if they don't share any 'compatible' fields
-  other than 'hitcount' and 'stacktrace'.  These commands create a
-  couple of triggers named 'bar' using those fields::
-
-    # echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \
-           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
-    # echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \
-          /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
-
-  And displaying the output of either shows some interesting if
-  somewhat confusing output::
-
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/hist
-    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist
-
-    # event histogram

+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+  Histogram triggers are special event triggers that can be used to
+  aggregate trace event data into histograms.  For information on
+  trace events and event triggers, see Documentation/trace/events.txt.
+
+
+2. Histogram Trigger Command
+============================
+
+  A histogram trigger command is an event trigger command that
+  aggregates event hits into a hash table keyed on one or more trace
+  event format fields (or stacktrace) and a set of running totals
+  derived from one or more trace event format fields and/or event
+  counts (hitcount).
+
+  The format of a hist trigger is as follows:
+
+        hist:keys=<field1[,field2,...]>[:values=<field1[,field2,...]>]
+          [:sort=<field1[,field2,...]>][:size=#entries][:pause][:continue]
+          [:clear][:name=histname1] [if <filter>]
+
+  When a matching event is hit, an entry is added to a hash table
+  using the key(s) and value(s) named.  Keys and values correspond to
+  fields in the event's format description.  Values must correspond to
+  numeric fields - on an event hit, the value(s) will be added to a
+  sum kept for that field.  The special string 'hitcount' can be used
+  in place of an explicit value field - this is simply a count of
+  event hits.  If 'values' isn't specified, an implicit 'hitcount'
+  value will be automatically created and used as the only value.
+  Keys can be any field, or the special string 'stacktrace', which
+  will use the event's kernel stacktrace as the key.  The keywords
+  'keys' or 'key' can be used to specify keys, and the keywords
+  'values', 'vals', or 'val' can be used to specify values.  Compound
+  keys consisting of up to two fields can be specified by the 'keys'
+  keyword.  Hashing a compound key produces a unique entry in the
+  table for each unique combination of component keys, and can be
+  useful for providing more fine-grained summaries of event data.
+  Additionally, sort keys consisting of up to two fields can be
+  specified by the 'sort' keyword.  If more than one field is
+  specified, the result will be a 'sort within a sort': the first key
+  is taken to be the primary sort key and the second the secondary
+  key.  If a hist trigger is given a name using the 'name' parameter,
+  its histogram data will be shared with other triggers of the same
+  name, and trigger hits will update this common data.  Only triggers
+  with 'compatible' fields can be combined in this way; triggers are
+  'compatible' if the fields named in the trigger share the same
+  number and type of fields and those fields also have the same names.
+  Note that any two events always share the compatible 'hitcount' and
+  'stacktrace' fields and can therefore be combined using those
+  fields, however pointless that may be.
+
+  'hist' triggers add a 'hist' file to each event's subdirectory.
+  Reading the 'hist' file for the event will dump the hash table in
+  its entirety to stdout.  If there are multiple hist triggers
+  attached to an event, there will be a table for each trigger in the
+  output.  The table displayed for a named trigger will be the same as
+  any other instance having the same name. Each printed hash table
+  entry is a simple list of the keys and values comprising the entry;
+  keys are printed first and are delineated by curly braces, and are
+  followed by the set of value fields for the entry.  By default,
+  numeric fields are displayed as base-10 integers.  This can be
+  modified by appending any of the following modifiers to the field
+  name:
+
+        .hex        display a number as a hex value
+	.sym        display an address as a symbol
+	.sym-offset display an address as a symbol and offset
+	.syscall    display a syscall id as a system call name
+	.execname   display a common_pid as a program name
+	.log2       display log2 value rather than raw number
+	.usecs      display a common_timestamp in microseconds
+
+  Note that in general the semantics of a given field aren't
+  interpreted when applying a modifier to it, but there are some
+  restrictions to be aware of in this regard:
+
+    - only the 'hex' modifier can be used for values (because values
+      are essentially sums, and the other modifiers don't make sense
+      in that context).
+    - the 'execname' modifier can only be used on a 'common_pid'.  The
+      reason for this is that the execname is simply the 'comm' value
+      saved for the 'current' process when an event was triggered,
+      which is the same as the common_pid value saved by the event
+      tracing code.  Trying to apply that comm value to other pid
+      values wouldn't be correct, and typically events that care save
+      pid-specific comm fields in the event itself.
+
+  A typical usage scenario would be the following to enable a hist
+  trigger, read its current contents, and then turn it off:
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
+
+  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist
+
+  # echo '!hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
+
+  The trigger file itself can be read to show the details of the
+  currently attached hist trigger.  This information is also displayed
+  at the top of the 'hist' file when read.
+
+  By default, the size of the hash table is 2048 entries.  The 'size'
+  parameter can be used to specify more or fewer than that.  The units
+  are in terms of hashtable entries - if a run uses more entries than
+  specified, the results will show the number of 'drops', the number
+  of hits that were ignored.  The size should be a power of 2 between
+  128 and 131072 (any non- power-of-2 number specified will be rounded
+  up).
+
+  The 'sort' parameter can be used to specify a value field to sort
+  on.  The default if unspecified is 'hitcount' and the default sort
+  order is 'ascending'.  To sort in the opposite direction, append
+  .descending' to the sort key.
+
+  The 'pause' parameter can be used to pause an existing hist trigger
+  or to start a hist trigger but not log any events until told to do
+  so.  'continue' or 'cont' can be used to start or restart a paused
+  hist trigger.
+
+  The 'clear' parameter will clear the contents of a running hist
+  trigger and leave its current paused/active state.
+
+  Note that the 'pause', 'cont', and 'clear' parameters should be
+  applied using 'append' shell operator ('>>') if applied to an
+  existing trigger, rather than via the '>' operator, which will cause
+  the trigger to be removed through truncation.
+
+- enable_hist/disable_hist
+
+  The enable_hist and disable_hist triggers can be used to have one
+  event conditionally start and stop another event's already-attached
+  hist trigger.  Any number of enable_hist and disable_hist triggers
+  can be attached to a given event, allowing that event to kick off
+  and stop aggregations on a host of other events.
+
+  The format is very similar to the enable/disable_event triggers:
+
+      enable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
+      disable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
+
+  Instead of enabling or disabling the tracing of the target event
+  into the trace buffer as the enable/disable_event triggers do, the
+  enable/disable_hist triggers enable or disable the aggregation of
+  the target event into a hash table.
+
+  A typical usage scenario for the enable_hist/disable_hist triggers
+  would be to first set up a paused hist trigger on some event,
+  followed by an enable_hist/disable_hist pair that turns the hist
+  aggregation on and off when conditions of interest are hit:
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len:pause' > \
+    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+
+  # echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
+    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
+
+  # echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
+    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
+
+  The above sets up an initially paused hist trigger which is unpaused
+  and starts aggregating events when a given program is executed, and
+  which stops aggregating when the process exits and the hist trigger
+  is paused again.
+
+  The examples below provide a more concrete illustration of the
+  concepts and typical usage patterns discussed above.
+
+  'special' event fields
+  ------------------------
+
+  There are a number of 'special event fields' available for use as
+  keys or values in a hist trigger.  These look like and behave as if
+  they were actual event fields, but aren't really part of the event's
+  field definition or format file.  They are however available for any
+  event, and can be used anywhere an actual event field could be.
+  They are:
+
+    common_timestamp       u64 - timestamp (from ring buffer) associated
+                                 with the event, in nanoseconds.  May be
+				 modified by .usecs to have timestamps
+				 interpreted as microseconds.
+    cpu                    int - the cpu on which the event occurred.
+
+  Extended error information
+  --------------------------
+
+  For some error conditions encountered when invoking a hist trigger
+  command, extended error information is available via the
+  corresponding event's 'hist' file.  Reading the hist file after an
+  error will display more detailed information about what went wrong,
+  if information is available.  This extended error information will
+  be available until the next hist trigger command for that event.
+
+  If available for a given error condition, the extended error
+  information and usage takes the following form:
+
+    # echo xxx > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
+    echo: write error: Invalid argument
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist
+    ERROR: Couldn't yyy: zzz
+      Last command: xxx
+
+6.2 'hist' trigger examples
+---------------------------
+
+  The first set of examples creates aggregations using the kmalloc
+  event.  The fields that can be used for the hist trigger are listed
+  in the kmalloc event's format file:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/format
+    name: kmalloc
+    ID: 374
+    format:
+	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
+	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
+	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;		offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;
+	field:int common_pid;					offset:4;	size:4;	signed:1;
+
+	field:unsigned long call_site;				offset:8;	size:8;	signed:0;
+	field:const void * ptr;					offset:16;	size:8;	signed:0;
+	field:size_t bytes_req;					offset:24;	size:8;	signed:0;
+	field:size_t bytes_alloc;				offset:32;	size:8;	signed:0;
+	field:gfp_t gfp_flags;					offset:40;	size:4;	signed:0;
+
+  We'll start by creating a hist trigger that generates a simple table
+  that lists the total number of bytes requested for each function in
+  the kernel that made one or more calls to kmalloc:
+
+    # echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
+            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  This tells the tracing system to create a 'hist' trigger using the
+  call_site field of the kmalloc event as the key for the table, which
+  just means that each unique call_site address will have an entry
+  created for it in the table.  The 'val=bytes_req' parameter tells
+  the hist trigger that for each unique entry (call_site) in the
+  table, it should keep a running total of the number of bytes
+  requested by that call_site.
+
+  We'll let it run for awhile and then dump the contents of the 'hist'
+  file in the kmalloc event's subdirectory (for readability, a number
+  of entries have been omitted):
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist
+    # trigger info: hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

+    { call_site: 18446744072099568646 } hitcount:       1676  bytes_req:      33520
+
+    Totals:
+        Hits: 4610
+        Entries: 45
+        Dropped: 0
+
+  The output displays a line for each entry, beginning with the key
+  specified in the trigger, followed by the value(s) also specified in
+  the trigger.  At the beginning of the output is a line that displays
+  the trigger info, which can also be displayed by reading the
+  'trigger' file:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+    hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]
+
+  At the end of the output are a few lines that display the overall
+  totals for the run.  The 'Hits' field shows the total number of
+  times the event trigger was hit, the 'Entries' field shows the total
+  number of used entries in the hash table, and the 'Dropped' field
+  shows the number of hits that were dropped because the number of
+  used entries for the run exceeded the maximum number of entries
+  allowed for the table (normally 0, but if not a hint that you may
+  want to increase the size of the table using the 'size' parameter).
+
+  Notice in the above output that there's an extra field, 'hitcount',
+  which wasn't specified in the trigger.  Also notice that in the
+  trigger info output, there's a parameter, 'sort=hitcount', which
+  wasn't specified in the trigger either.  The reason for that is that
+  every trigger implicitly keeps a count of the total number of hits
+  attributed to a given entry, called the 'hitcount'.  That hitcount
+  information is explicitly displayed in the output, and in the
+  absence of a user-specified sort parameter, is used as the default
+  sort field.
+
+  The value 'hitcount' can be used in place of an explicit value in
+  the 'values' parameter if you don't really need to have any
+  particular field summed and are mainly interested in hit
+  frequencies.
+
+  To turn the hist trigger off, simply call up the trigger in the
+  command history and re-execute it with a '!' prepended:
+
+    # echo '!hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  Finally, notice that the call_site as displayed in the output above
+  isn't really very useful.  It's an address, but normally addresses
+  are displayed in hex.  To have a numeric field displayed as a hex
+  value, simply append '.hex' to the field name in the trigger:
+
+    # echo 'hist:key=call_site.hex:val=bytes_req' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist
+    # trigger info: hist:keys=call_site.hex:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

+  Because the default sort key above is 'hitcount', the above shows a
+  the list of call_sites by increasing hitcount, so that at the bottom
+  we see the functions that made the most kmalloc calls during the
+  run.  If instead we we wanted to see the top kmalloc callers in
+  terms of the number of bytes requested rather than the number of
+  calls, and we wanted the top caller to appear at the top, we can use

+
+  Finally, to finish off our kmalloc example, instead of simply having
+  the hist trigger display symbolic call_sites, we can have the hist
+  trigger additionally display the complete set of kernel stack traces
+  that led to each call_site.  To do that, we simply use the special
+  value 'stacktrace' for the key parameter:
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=stacktrace:values=bytes_req,bytes_alloc:sort=bytes_alloc' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  The above trigger will use the kernel stack trace in effect when an
+  event is triggered as the key for the hash table.  This allows the
+  enumeration of every kernel callpath that led up to a particular
+  event, along with a running total of any of the event fields for
+  that event.  Here we tally bytes requested and bytes allocated for
+  every callpath in the system that led up to a kmalloc (in this case
+  every callpath to a kmalloc for a kernel compile):
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist

+
+    The syscall counts above provide a rough overall picture of system
+    call activity on the system; we can see for example that the most
+    popular system call on this system was the 'sys_ioctl' system call.
+
+    We can use 'compound' keys to refine that number and provide some
+    further insight as to which processes exactly contribute to the
+    overall ioctl count.
+
+    The command below keeps a hitcount for every unique combination of
+    system call id and pid - the end result is essentially a table
+    that keeps a per-pid sum of system call hits.  The results are
+    sorted using the system call id as the primary key, and the
+    hitcount sum as the secondary key:

+    The above list does give us a breakdown of the ioctl syscall by
+    pid, but it also gives us quite a bit more than that, which we
+    don't really care about at the moment.  Since we know the syscall
+    id for sys_ioctl (16, displayed next to the sys_ioctl name), we
+    can use that to filter out all the other syscalls:

+    The above output shows that 'compiz' and 'Xorg' are far and away
+    the heaviest ioctl callers (which might lead to questions about

+
+    The compound key examples used a key and a sum value (hitcount) to
+    sort the output, but we can just as easily use two keys instead.
+    Here's an example where we use a compound key composed of the the
+    common_pid and size event fields.  Sorting with pid as the primary
+    key and 'size' as the secondary key allows us to display an
+    ordered summary of the recvfrom sizes, with counts, received by
+    each process:

+  The above example also illustrates the fact that although a compound
+  key is treated as a single entity for hashing purposes, the sub-keys
+  it's composed of can be accessed independently.
+
+  The next example uses a string field as the hash key and
+  demonstrates how you can manually pause and continue a hist trigger.

+  large number of entries in the hash table, so we'll drop it to a

+
+  The previous example showed how to start and stop a hist trigger by
+  appending 'pause' and 'continue' to the hist trigger command.  A
+  hist trigger can also be started in a paused state by initially
+  starting the trigger with ':pause' appended.  This allows you to
+  start the trigger only when you're ready to start collecting data
+  and not before.  For example, you could start the trigger in a
+  paused state, then unpause it and do something you want to measure,
+  then pause the trigger again when done.
+
+  Of course, doing this manually can be difficult and error-prone, but
+  it is possible to automatically start and stop a hist trigger based
+  on some condition, via the enable_hist and disable_hist triggers.
+
+  For example, suppose we wanted to take a look at the relative
+  weights in terms of skb length for each callpath that leads to a
+  netif_receieve_skb event when downloading a decent-sized file using
+  wget.
+
+  First we set up an initially paused stacktrace trigger on the
+  netif_receive_skb event:
+
+    # echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:pause' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+
+  Next, we set up an 'enable_hist' trigger on the sched_process_exec
+  event, with an 'if filename==/usr/bin/wget' filter.  The effect of
+  this new trigger is that it will 'unpause' the hist trigger we just
+  set up on netif_receive_skb if and only if it sees a
+  sched_process_exec event with a filename of '/usr/bin/wget'.  When
+  that happens, all netif_receive_skb events are aggregated into a
+  hash table keyed on stacktrace:
+
+    # echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
+
+  The aggregation continues until the netif_receive_skb is paused
+  again, which is what the following disable_hist event does by
+  creating a similar setup on the sched_process_exit event, using the
+  filter 'comm==wget':
+
+    # echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
+
+  Whenever a process exits and the comm field of the disable_hist
+  trigger filter matches 'comm==wget', the netif_receive_skb hist
+  trigger is disabled.
+
+  The overall effect is that netif_receive_skb events are aggregated
+  into the hash table for only the duration of the wget.  Executing a
+  wget command and then listing the 'hist' file will display the
+  output generated by the wget command:
+
+    $ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist

+  The above shows all the netif_receive_skb callpaths and their total
+  lengths for the duration of the wget command.
+
+  The 'clear' hist trigger param can be used to clear the hash table.
+  Suppose we wanted to try another run of the previous example but
+  this time also wanted to see the complete list of events that went
+  into the histogram.  In order to avoid having to set everything up
+  again, we can just clear the histogram first:
+
+    # echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:clear' >> \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+
+  Just to verify that it is in fact cleared, here's what we now see in
+  the hist file:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist
+    # trigger info: hist:keys=stacktrace:vals=len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [paused]
+
+    Totals:
+        Hits: 0
+        Entries: 0
+        Dropped: 0
+
+  Since we want to see the detailed list of every netif_receive_skb
+  event occurring during the new run, which are in fact the same
+  events being aggregated into the hash table, we add some additional
+  'enable_event' events to the triggering sched_process_exec and
+  sched_process_exit events as such:
+
+    # echo 'enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
+
+    # echo 'disable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
+
+  If you read the trigger files for the sched_process_exec and
+  sched_process_exit triggers, you should see two triggers for each:
+  one enabling/disabling the hist aggregation and the other
+  enabling/disabling the logging of events:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
+    enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
+    enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
+    enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
+    disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
+
+  In other words, whenever either of the sched_process_exec or
+  sched_process_exit events is hit and matches 'wget', it enables or
+  disables both the histogram and the event log, and what you end up
+  with is a hash table and set of events just covering the specified
+  duration.  Run the wget command again:
+
+    $ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz
+
+  Displaying the 'hist' file should show something similar to what you
+  saw in the last run, but this time you should also see the
+  individual events in the trace file:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
+
+    # tracer: nop
+    #
+    # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 183/1426   #P:4

+  The following example demonstrates how multiple hist triggers can be
+  attached to a given event.  This capability can be useful for
+  creating a set of different summaries derived from the same set of
+  events, or for comparing the effects of different filters, among
+  other things.
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len < 0' >> \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len > 4096' >> \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len == 256' >> \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+    # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' >> \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+    # echo 'hist:keys=len:vals=common_preempt_count' >> \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+
+  The above set of commands create four triggers differing only in
+  their filters, along with a completely different though fairly
+  nonsensical trigger.  Note that in order to append multiple hist
+  triggers to the same file, you should use the '>>' operator to
+  append them ('>' will also add the new hist trigger, but will remove
+  any existing hist triggers beforehand).
+
+  Displaying the contents of the 'hist' file for the event shows the
+  contents of all five histograms:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist
+
+    # event histogram
+    #
+    # trigger info: hist:keys=len:vals=hitcount,common_preempt_count:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]
+    #

+
+  Named triggers can be used to have triggers share a common set of
+  histogram data.  This capability is mostly useful for combining the
+  output of events generated by tracepoints contained inside inline
+  functions, but names can be used in a hist trigger on any event.
+  For example, these two triggers when hit will update the same 'len'
+  field in the shared 'foo' histogram data:
+
+    # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+    # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
+
+  You can see that they're updating common histogram data by reading
+  each event's hist files at the same time:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist;
+      cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist
+
+    # event histogram
+    #
+    # trigger info: hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=hitcount,len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]
+    #

+  And here's an example that shows how to combine histogram data from
+  any two events even if they don't share any 'compatible' fields
+  other than 'hitcount' and 'stacktrace'.  These commands create a
+  couple of triggers named 'bar' using those fields:
+
+    # echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \

+2.2 Inter-event hist triggers
+-----------------------------
+
+Inter-event hist triggers are hist triggers that combine values from
+one or more other events and create a histogram using that data.  Data
+from an inter-event histogram can in turn become the source for
+further combined histograms, thus providing a chain of related
+histograms, which is important for some applications.
+
+The most important example of an inter-event quantity that can be used
+in this manner is latency, which is simply a difference in timestamps
+between two events.  Although latency is the most important
+inter-event quantity, note that because the support is completely
+general across the trace event subsystem, any event field can be used
+in an inter-event quantity.
+
+An example of a histogram that combines data from other histograms
+into a useful chain would be a 'wakeupswitch latency' histogram that
+combines a 'wakeup latency' histogram and a 'switch latency'
+histogram.
+
+Normally, a hist trigger specification consists of a (possibly
+compound) key along with one or more numeric values, which are
+continually updated sums associated with that key.  A histogram
+specification in this case consists of individual key and value
+specifications that refer to trace event fields associated with a
+single event type.
+
+The inter-event hist trigger extension allows fields from multiple
+events to be referenced and combined into a multi-event histogram
+specification.  In support of this overall goal, a few enabling
+features have been added to the hist trigger support:
+
+  - In order to compute an inter-event quantity, a value from one
+    event needs to saved and then referenced from another event.  This
+    requires the introduction of support for histogram 'variables'.
+
+  - The computation of inter-event quantities and their combination
+    require some minimal amount of support for applying simple
+    expressions to variables (+ and -).
+
+  - A histogram consisting of inter-event quantities isn't logically a
+    histogram on either event (so having the 'hist' file for either
+    event host the histogram output doesn't really make sense).  To
+    address the idea that the histogram is associated with a
+    combination of events, support is added allowing the creation of
+    'synthetic' events that are events derived from other events.
+    These synthetic events are full-fledged events just like any other
+    and can be used as such, as for instance to create the
+    'combination' histograms mentioned previously.
+
+  - A set of 'actions' can be associated with histogram entries -
+    these can be used to generate the previously mentioned synthetic
+    events, but can also be used for other purposes, such as for
+    example saving context when a 'max' latency has been hit.
+
+  - Trace events don't have a 'timestamp' associated with them, but
+    there is an implicit timestamp saved along with an event in the
+    underlying ftrace ring buffer.  This timestamp is now exposed as a
+    a synthetic field named 'common_timestamp' which can be used in
+    histograms as if it were any other event field; it isn't an actual
+    field in the trace format but rather is a synthesized value that
+    nonetheless can be used as if it were an actual field.  By default
+    it is in units of nanoseconds; appending '.usecs' to a
+    common_timestamp field changes the units to microseconds.
+
+A note on inter-event timestamps: If common_timestamp is used in a
+histogram, the trace buffer is automatically switched over to using
+absolute timestamps and the "global" trace clock, in order to avoid
+bogus timestamp differences with other clocks that aren't coherent
+across CPUs.  This can be overridden by specifying one of the other
+trace clocks instead, using the "clock=XXX" hist trigger attribute,
+where XXX is any of the clocks listed in the tracing/trace_clock
+pseudo-file.
+
+These features are described in more detail in the following sections.
+
+2.2.1 Histogram Variables
+-------------------------
+
+Variables are simply named locations used for saving and retrieving
+values between matching events.  A 'matching' event is defined as an
+event that has a matching key - if a variable is saved for a histogram
+entry corresponding to that key, any subsequent event with a matching
+key can access that variable.
+
+A variable's value is normally available to any subsequent event until
+it is set to something else by a subsequent event.  The one exception
+to that rule is that any variable used in an expression is essentially
+'read-once' - once it's used by an expression in a subsequent event,
+it's reset to its 'unset' state, which means it can't be used again
+unless it's set again.  This ensures not only that an event doesn't
+use an uninitialized variable in a calculation, but that that variable
+is used only once and not for any unrelated subsequent match.
+
+The basic syntax for saving a variable is to simply prefix a unique
+variable name not corresponding to any keyword along with an '=' sign
+to any event field.
+
+Either keys or values can be saved and retrieved in this way.  This
+creates a variable named 'ts0' for a histogram entry with the key
+'next_pid':
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp ... >> \
+	event/trigger
+
+The ts0 variable can be accessed by any subsequent event having the
+same pid as 'next_pid'.
+
+Variable references are formed by prepending the variable name with
+the '$' sign.  Thus for example, the ts0 variable above would be
+referenced as '$ts0' in expressions.
+
+Because 'vals=' is used, the common_timestamp variable value above
+will also be summed as a normal histogram value would (though for a
+timestamp it makes little sense).
+
+The below shows that a key value can also be saved in the same way:
+
+  # echo 'hist:timer_pid=common_pid:key=timer_pid ...' >> event/trigger
+
+If a variable isn't a key variable or prefixed with 'vals=', the
+associated event field will be saved in a variable but won't be summed
+as a value:
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:ts1=common_timestamp ... >> event/trigger
+
+Multiple variables can be assigned at the same time.  The below would
+result in both ts0 and b being created as variables, with both
+common_timestamp and field1 additionally being summed as values:
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0,$b:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1 ... >> \
+	event/trigger
+
+Note that variable assignments can appear either preceding or
+following their use.  The command below behaves identically to the
+command above:
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1:vals=$ts0,$b ... >> \
+	event/trigger
+
+Any number of variables not bound to a 'vals=' prefix can also be
+assigned by simply separating them with colons.  Below is the same
+thing but without the values being summed in the histogram:
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1 ... >> event/trigger
+
+Variables set as above can be referenced and used in expressions on
+another event.
+
+For example, here's how a latency can be calculated:
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ... >> event1/trigger
+  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ... >> event2/trigger
+
+In the first line above, the event's timetamp is saved into the
+variable ts0.  In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second
+event's timestamp to produce the latency, which is then assigned into
+yet another variable, 'wakeup_lat'.  The hist trigger below in turn
+makes use of the wakeup_lat variable to compute a combined latency
+using the same key and variable from yet another event:
+
+  # echo 'hist:key=pid:wakeupswitch_lat=$wakeup_lat+$switchtime_lat ... >> event3/trigger
+
+2.2.2 Synthetic Events
+----------------------
+
+Synthetic events are user-defined events generated from hist trigger
+variables or fields associated with one or more other events.  Their
+purpose is to provide a mechanism for displaying data spanning
+multiple events consistent with the existing and already familiar
+usage for normal events.
+
+To define a synthetic event, the user writes a simple specification
+consisting of the name of the new event along with one or more
+variables and their types, which can be any valid field type,
+separated by semicolons, to the tracing/synthetic_events file.
+
+For instance, the following creates a new event named 'wakeup_latency'
+with 3 fields: lat, pid, and prio.  Each of those fields is simply a
+variable reference to a variable on another event:
+
+  # echo 'wakeup_latency \
+          u64 lat; \
+          pid_t pid; \
+	  int prio' >> \
+	  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
+
+Reading the tracing/synthetic_events file lists all the currently
+defined synthetic events, in this case the event defined above:
+
+  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
+    wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio
+
+An existing synthetic event definition can be removed by prepending
+the command that defined it with a '!':
+
+  # echo '!wakeup_latency u64 lat pid_t pid int prio' >> \
+    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
+
+At this point, there isn't yet an actual 'wakeup_latency' event
+instantiated in the event subsytem - for this to happen, a 'hist
+trigger action' needs to be instantiated and bound to actual fields
+and variables defined on other events (see Section 6.3.3 below).
+
+Once that is done, an event instance is created, and a histogram can
+be defined using it:
+
+  # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio,lat.log2:sort=pid,lat' >> \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/trigger
+
+The new event is created under the tracing/events/synthetic/ directory
+and looks and behaves just like any other event:
+
+  # ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency
+        enable  filter  format  hist  id  trigger
+
+Like any other event, once a histogram is enabled for the event, the
+output can be displayed by reading the event's 'hist' file.
+
+2.2.3 Hist trigger 'actions'
+----------------------------
+
+A hist trigger 'action' is a function that's executed whenever a
+histogram entry is added or updated.
+
+The default 'action' if no special function is explicity specified is
+as it always has been, to simply update the set of values associated
+with an entry.  Some applications, however, may want to perform
+additional actions at that point, such as generate another event, or
+compare and save a maximum.
+
+The following additional actions are available.  To specify an action
+for a given event, simply specify the action between colons in the
+hist trigger specification.
+
+  - onmatch(matching.event).<synthetic_event_name>(param list)
+
+    The 'onmatch(matching.event).<synthetic_event_name>(params)' hist
+    trigger action is invoked whenever an event matches and the
+    histogram entry would be added or updated.  It causes the named
+    synthetic event to be generated with the values given in the
+    'param list'.  The result is the generation of a synthetic event
+    that consists of the values contained in those variables at the
+    time the invoking event was hit.
+
+    The 'param list' consists of one or more parameters which may be
+    either variables or fields defined on either the 'matching.event'
+    or the target event.  The variables or fields specified in the
+    param list may be either fully-qualified or unqualified.  If a
+    variable is specified as unqualified, it must be unique between
+    the two events.  A field name used as a param can be unqualified
+    if it refers to the target event, but must be fully qualified if
+    it refers to the matching event.  A fully-qualified name is of the
+    form 'system.event_name.$var_name' or 'system.event_name.field'.
+
+    The 'matching.event' specification is simply the fully qualified
+    event name of the event that matches the target event for the
+    onmatch() functionality, in the form 'system.event_name'.
+
+    Finally, the number and type of variables/fields in the 'param
+    list' must match the number and types of the fields in the
+    synthetic event being generated.
+
+    As an example the below defines a simple synthetic event and uses
+    a variable defined on the sched_wakeup_new event as a parameter
+    when invoking the synthetic event.  Here we define the synthetic
+    event:
+
+    # echo 'wakeup_new_test pid_t pid' >> \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
+          wakeup_new_test pid_t pid
+
+    The following hist trigger both defines the missing testpid
+    variable and specifies an onmatch() action that generates a
+    wakeup_new_test synthetic event whenever a sched_wakeup_new event
+    occurs, which because of the 'if comm == "cyclictest"' filter only
+    happens when the executable is cyclictest:
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=$testpid:testpid=pid:onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup_new).\
+            wakeup_new_test($testpid) if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup_new/trigger
+
+    Creating and displaying a histogram based on those events is now
+    just a matter of using the fields and new synthetic event in the
+    tracing/events/synthetic directory, as usual:
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=pid:sort=pid' >> \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_new_test/trigger
+
+    Running 'cyclictest' should cause wakeup_new events to generate
+    wakeup_new_test synthetic events which should result in histogram
+    output in the wakeup_new_test event's hist file:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_new_test/hist
+
+    A more typical usage would be to use two events to calculate a
+    latency.  The following example uses a set of hist triggers to
+    produce a 'wakeup_latency' histogram:
+
+    First, we define a 'wakeup_latency' synthetic event:
+
+    # echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio' >> \
+            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
+
+    Next, we specify that whenever we see a sched_waking event for a
+    cyclictest thread, save the timestamp in a 'ts0' variable:
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=$saved_pid:saved_pid=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \
+            if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
+
+    Then, when the corresponding thread is actually scheduled onto the
+    CPU by a sched_switch event, calculate the latency and use that
+    along with another variable and an event field to generate a
+    wakeup_latency synthetic event:
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:\
+            onmatch(sched.sched_waking).wakeup_latency($wakeup_lat,\
+	            $saved_pid,next_prio) if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
+
+    We also need to create a histogram on the wakeup_latency synthetic
+    event in order to aggregate the generated synthetic event data:
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio,lat:sort=pid,lat' >> \
+            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/trigger
+
+    Finally, once we've run cyclictest to actually generate some
+    events, we can see the output by looking at the wakeup_latency
+    synthetic event's hist file:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/hist
+
+  - onmax(var).save(field,..	.)
+
+    The 'onmax(var).save(field,...)' hist trigger action is invoked
+    whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
+    exceeds the current maximum contained in that variable.
+
+    The end result is that the trace event fields specified as the
+    onmax.save() params will be saved if 'var' exceeds the current
+    maximum for that hist trigger entry.  This allows context from the
+    event that exhibited the new maximum to be saved for later
+    reference.  When the histogram is displayed, additional fields
+    displaying the saved values will be printed.
+
+    As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for
+    sched_waking and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid.  Whenever
+    a sched_waking occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry
+    corresponding to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches
+    back to that pid, the timestamp difference is calculated.  If the

+ * Without going into a formal proof, this explains the method that is used in
+ * parsing the logical expressions.
+ *
+ * For example, if we have: "a && !(!b || (c && g)) || d || e && !f"
+ * The first pass will convert it into the following program:
+ *
+ * n1: r=a;       l1: if (!r) goto l4;
+ * n2: r=b;       l2: if (!r) goto l4;
+ * n3: r=c; r=!r; l3: if (r) goto l4;
+ * n4: r=g; r=!r; l4: if (r) goto l5;
+ * n5: r=d;       l5: if (r) goto T
+ * n6: r=e;       l6: if (!r) goto l7;
+ * n7: r=f; r=!r; l7: if (!r) goto F
+ * T: return TRUE
+ * F: return FALSE
+ *
+ * To do this, we use a data structure to represent each of the above
+ * predicate and conditions that has:
+ *
+ *  predicate, when_to_branch, invert, target
+ *
+ * The "predicate" will hold the function to determine the result "r".
+ * The "when_to_branch" denotes what "r" should be if a branch is to be taken
+ * "&&" would contain "!r" or (0) and "||" would contain "r" or (1).
+ * The "invert" holds whether the value should be reversed before testing.
+ * The "target" contains the label "l#" to jump to.
+ *
+ * A stack is created to hold values when parentheses are used.
+ *
+ * To simplify the logic, the labels will start at 0 and not 1.
+ *
+ * The possible invert values are 1 and 0. The number of "!"s that are in scope
+ * before the predicate determines the invert value, if the number is odd then
+ * the invert value is 1 and 0 otherwise. This means the invert value only
+ * needs to be toggled when a new "!" is introduced compared to what is stored
+ * on the stack, where parentheses were used.
+ *
+ * The top of the stack and "invert" are initialized to zero.
+ *
+ * ** FIRST PASS **
+ *
+ * #1 A loop through all the tokens is done:
+ *
+ * #2 If the token is an "(", the stack is push, and the current stack value
+ *    gets the current invert value, and the loop continues to the next token.
+ *    The top of the stack saves the "invert" value to keep track of what
+ *    the current inversion is. As "!(a && !b || c)" would require all
+ *    predicates being affected separately by the "!" before the parentheses.
+ *    And that would end up being equivalent to "(!a || b) && !c"
+ *
+ * #3 If the token is an "!", the current "invert" value gets inverted, and
+ *    the loop continues. Note, if the next token is a predicate, then
+ *    this "invert" value is only valid for the current program entry,
+ *    and does not affect other predicates later on.
+ *
+ * The only other acceptable token is the predicate string.
+ *
+ * #4 A new entry into the program is added saving: the predicate and the
+ *    current value of "invert". The target is currently assigned to the
+ *    previous program index (this will not be its final value).
+ *
+ * #5 We now enter another loop and look at the next token. The only valid
+ *    tokens are ")", "&&", "||" or end of the input string "\0".
+ *
+ * #6 The invert variable is reset to the current value saved on the top of
+ *    the stack.
+ *
+ * #7 The top of the stack holds not only the current invert value, but also
+ *    if a "&&" or "||" needs to be processed. Note, the "&&" takes higher
+ *    precedence than "||". That is "a && b || c && d" is equivalent to
+ *    "(a && b) || (c && d)". Thus the first thing to do is to see if "&&" needs
+ *    to be processed. This is the case if an "&&" was the last token. If it was
+ *    then we call update_preds(). This takes the program, the current index in
+ *    the program, and the current value of "invert".  More will be described
+ *    below about this function.
+ *
+ * #8 If the next token is "&&" then we set a flag in the top of the stack
+ *    that denotes that "&&" needs to be processed, break out of this loop
+ *    and continue with the outer loop.
+ *
+ * #9 Otherwise, if a "||" needs to be processed then update_preds() is called.
+ *    This is called with the program, the current index in the program, but
+ *    this time with an inverted value of "invert" (that is !invert). This is
+ *    because the value taken will become the "when_to_branch" value of the
+ *    program.
+ *    Note, this is called when the next token is not an "&&". As stated before,
+ *    "&&" takes higher precedence, and "||" should not be processed yet if the
+ *    next logical operation is "&&".
+ *
+ * #10 If the next token is "||" then we set a flag in the top of the stack
+ *     that denotes that "||" needs to be processed, break out of this loop
+ *     and continue with the outer loop.
+ *
+ * #11 If this is the end of the input string "\0" then we break out of both
+ *     loops.
+ *
+ * #12 Otherwise, the next token is ")", where we pop the stack and continue
+ *     this inner loop.
+ *
+ * Now to discuss the update_pred() function, as that is key to the setting up
+ * of the program. Remember the "target" of the program is initialized to the
+ * previous index and not the "l" label. The target holds the index into the
+ * program that gets affected by the operand. Thus if we have something like
+ *  "a || b && c", when we process "a" the target will be "-1" (undefined).
+ * When we process "b", its target is "0", which is the index of "a", as that's
+ * the predicate that is affected by "||". But because the next token after "b"
+ * is "&&" we don't call update_preds(). Instead continue to "c". As the
+ * next token after "c" is not "&&" but the end of input, we first process the
+ * "&&" by calling update_preds() for the "&&" then we process the "||" by
+ * callin updates_preds() with the values for processing "||".
+ *
+ * What does that mean? What update_preds() does is to first save the "target"
+ * of the program entry indexed by the current program entry's "target"
+ * (remember the "target" is initialized to previous program entry), and then
+ * sets that "target" to the current index which represents the label "l#".
+ * That entry's "when_to_branch" is set to the value passed in (the "invert"
+ * or "!invert"). Then it sets the current program entry's target to the saved
+ * "target" value (the old value of the program that had its "target" updated
+ * to the label).
+ *
+ * Looking back at "a || b && c", we have the following steps:
+ *  "a"  - prog[0] = { "a", X, -1 } // pred, when_to_branch, target
+ *  "||" - flag that we need to process "||"; continue outer loop
+ *  "b"  - prog[1] = { "b", X, 0 }
+ *  "&&" - flag that we need to process "&&"; continue outer loop
+ * (Notice we did not process "||")
+ *  "c"  - prog[2] = { "c", X, 1 }
+ *  update_preds(prog, 2, 0); // invert = 0 as we are processing "&&"
+ *    t = prog[2].target; // t = 1
+ *    s = prog[t].target; // s = 0
+ *    prog[t].target = 2; // Set target to "l2"
+ *    prog[t].when_to_branch = 0;
+ *    prog[2].target = s;
+ * update_preds(prog, 2, 1); // invert = 1 as we are now processing "||"
+ *    t = prog[2].target; // t = 0
+ *    s = prog[t].target; // s = -1
+ *    prog[t].target = 2; // Set target to "l2"
+ *    prog[t].when_to_branch = 1;
+ *    prog[2].target = s;
+ *
+ * #13 Which brings us to the final step of the first pass, which is to set
+ *     the last program entry's when_to_branch and target, which will be
+ *     when_to_branch = 0; target = N; ( the label after the program entry after
+ *     the last program entry processed above).
+ *
+ * If we denote "TRUE" to be the entry after the last program entry processed,
+ * and "FALSE" the program entry after that, we are now done with the first
+ * pass.
+ *
+ * Making the above "a || b && c" have a progam of:
+ *  prog[0] = { "a", 1, 2 }
+ *  prog[1] = { "b", 0, 2 }
+ *  prog[2] = { "c", 0, 3 }
+ *
+ * Which translates into:
+ * n0: r = a; l0: if (r) goto l2;
+ * n1: r = b; l1: if (!r) goto l2;
+ * n2: r = c; l2: if (!r) goto l3;  // Which is the same as "goto F;"
+ * T: return TRUE; l3:
+ * F: return FALSE
+ *
+ * Although, after the first pass, the program is correct, it is
+ * inefficient. The simple sample of "a || b && c" could be easily been
+ * converted into:
+ * n0: r = a; if (r) goto T
+ * n1: r = b; if (!r) goto F
+ * n2: r = c; if (!r) goto F
+ * T: return TRUE;
+ * F: return FALSE;
+ *
+ * The First Pass is over the input string. The next too passes are over
+ * the program itself.
+ *
+ * ** SECOND PASS **
+ *
+ * Which brings us to the second pass. If a jump to a label has the
+ * same condition as that label, it can instead jump to its target.
+ * The original example of "a && !(!b || (c && g)) || d || e && !f"
+ * where the first pass gives us:
+ *
+ * n1: r=a;       l1: if (!r) goto l4;
+ * n2: r=b;       l2: if (!r) goto l4;
+ * n3: r=c; r=!r; l3: if (r) goto l4;
+ * n4: r=g; r=!r; l4: if (r) goto l5;
+ * n5: r=d;       l5: if (r) goto T
+ * n6: r=e;       l6: if (!r) goto l7;
+ * n7: r=f; r=!r; l7: if (!r) goto F:
+ * T: return TRUE;
+ * F: return FALSE
+ *
+ * We can see that "l3: if (r) goto l4;" and at l4, we have "if (r) goto l5;".
+ * And "l5: if (r) goto T", we could optimize this by converting l3 and l4
+ * to go directly to T. To accomplish this, we start from the last
+ * entry in the program and work our way back. If the target of the entry
+ * has the same "when_to_branch" then we could use that entry's target.
+ * Doing this, the above would end up as:
+ *
+ * n1: r=a;       l1: if (!r) goto l4;
+ * n2: r=b;       l2: if (!r) goto l4;
+ * n3: r=c; r=!r; l3: if (r) goto T;
+ * n4: r=g; r=!r; l4: if (r) goto T;
+ * n5: r=d;       l5: if (r) goto T;
+ * n6: r=e;       l6: if (!r) goto F;
+ * n7: r=f; r=!r; l7: if (!r) goto F;
+ * T: return TRUE
+ * F: return FALSE
+ *
+ * In that same pass, if the "when_to_branch" doesn't match, we can simply
+ * go to the program entry after the label. That is, "l2: if (!r) goto l4;"
+ * where "l4: if (r) goto T;", then we can convert l2 to be:
+ * "l2: if (!r) goto n5;".
+ *
+ * This will have the second pass give us:
+ * n1: r=a;       l1: if (!r) goto n5;
+ * n2: r=b;       l2: if (!r) goto n5;
+ * n3: r=c; r=!r; l3: if (r) goto T;
+ * n4: r=g; r=!r; l4: if (r) goto T;
+ * n5: r=d;       l5: if (r) goto T
+ * n6: r=e;       l6: if (!r) goto F;
+ * n7: r=f; r=!r; l7: if (!r) goto F
+ * T: return TRUE
+ * F: return FALSE
+ *
+ * Notice, all the "l#" labels are no longer used, and they can now
+ * be discarded.
+ *
+ * ** THIRD PASS **
+ *
+ * For the third pass we deal with the inverts. As they simply just
+ * make the "when_to_branch" get inverted, a simple loop over the
+ * program to that does: "when_to_branch ^= invert;" will do the
+ * job, leaving us with:
+ * n1: r=a; if (!r) goto n5;
+ * n2: r=b; if (!r) goto n5;
+ * n3: r=c: if (!r) goto T;
+ * n4: r=g; if (!r) goto T;
+ * n5: r=d; if (r) goto T
+ * n6: r=e; if (!r) goto F;
+ * n7: r=f; if (r) goto F
+ * T: return TRUE
+ * F: return FALSE
+ *
+ * As "r = a; if (!r) goto n5;" is obviously the same as
+ * "if (!a) goto n5;" without doing anything we can interperate the
+ * program as:
+ * n1: if (!a) goto n5;
+ * n2: if (!b) goto n5;
+ * n3: if (!c) goto T;
+ * n4: if (!g) goto T;
+ * n5: if (d) goto T
+ * n6: if (!e) goto F;
+ * n7: if (f) goto F
+ * T: return TRUE
+ * F: return FALSE
+ *
+ * Since the inverts are discarded at the end, there's no reason to store
+ * them in the program array (and waste memory). A separate array to hold
+ * the inverts is used and freed at the end.
