Here is version 2 of my series to add stopwatch timers and global counters
to Trace2. I think this version address all of the comments made on V1.

 * I moved the Trace2 "thread_name" field into a flex-array at the bottom of
   the thread local storage block. This avoids the issue of whether it
   should be allocated and by whom and its const-ness.

 * I moved the truncation of the "thread_name" into the "_perf" target
   (which was the only target that actually cared) so that columns still
   line up.

 * Started phasing out the TLS and CTX acronyms in the Trace2 code. There is
   an ambiguity between "thread local storage" and "transport layer
   security" that caused some confusion. In this patch series, I eliminated
   new uses of the TLS term. A future series will be needed to actually
   rename variables, functions, and data types to fully eliminate the TLS
   term.

 * In V1 I included a change to the "_event" target version number. I've
   rolled this back in favor of Ævar's new proposal describing when/why we
   change it. (That proposal is independent of this series.)

 * In V1 I had reported timer values {total, min, max} in floating point
   seconds with microsecond precision (using a "%9.6f" format) and was
   internally accumulating interval times in microseconds. After some
   discussion, I've changed this to accumulate in nanoseconds and report
   integer nanoseconds. This may avoid some accumulated round off error.
   (However, on some platforms getnanotime() only has microsecond accuracy,
   so this increased precision may be misleading.)

 * Refactor the pattern model used in the unit tests to make it easier to
   visually parse.

 * Some cosmetic cleanup of the private timer and counter API.

There were additional requests/comments that I have not addressed in this
version because I think they should be in their own top-level topic in a
future series rather than appended onto this series:

 * The full elimination of the TLS and CTX terms.

 * Ævar proposed a new test_trace2 test function to parse trace output. This
   would be similar to (or a generalization of) the test_region function
   that we already have in test-lib-functions.sh.

 * Ævar proposed a large refactor of the "_perf" target to have a "fmt()"
   varargs function to reduce the amount of copy-n-pasted code in many of
   the "fn" event handlers. This looks like a good change based on the
   mockup but is a large refactor.

 * Ævar proposed a new rationale for when/why we change the "_event" version
   number. That text can be added to the design document independently.

FWIW what I meant with [1] was not that this series needed to take the
detour of refactoring trace2/tr2_tgt_perf.c to use such a helper, but
that for the function additions in this series it might make sense to
introduce one and use it for the new functions.

For this series I think it's probably not worth it, so I'm fine with
leaving this for some other time. Just pointing out that rather than
your reading of:

 1. We have some refactorable verbosity
 2. Refactor all callers
 3. Change existing code to use that refactoring
 4. Add new code to use the refactoring

It's also perfectly fine to do just:

 1. We have some refactorable verbosity
 2. Introduce a less verbose
 3. Add new code to use the helper

And leave the "refactor all callers" for some other time.

Anyway, I think for the two callers just leaving it entirely for this
series is the right thing to do. It was more of a "hrm, that's some odd
and avoidable verbosity..." comment on me read-through of v1.

Hrm, no. In [1] I linked to some earlier musings of mine about what we
should do about the TR2_EVENT_VERSION (mainly as an FYI since you added
it, but hadn't commented on that post).

But my main comment there was that the series wasn't progressing as
atomic changes. I.e. we promise to change the TR2_EVENT_VERSION version
every time we change the event format, but v1 first changed the format
and bumped the version, then made some more changes.

I think that's probably fine per-se within a git release cycle, but it
might be a symtom of commits that could be split up to be more atomic (I
don't know, didn't look in detail).

However, in this v2 of the series the TR2_EVENT_VERSION bump is entirely
gone.

Maybe that means that you so vehemently agree with my proposal in [1] it
that you'd like to start taking that view for trace2 changes right away
:-)

For me it's fine either way, I think TR2_EVENT_VERSION probably isn't
that important.

But if that's the case it should probably be called out more explictly
in the CL/commit. I.e. even if our "policy" (such as it is) about
TR2_EVENT_VERSION currently says X we're going to start doing Y here
intentionally.

And in that case I should probably turn that suggestion in [1] into a an
actual PATCH sooner than later...

Sorry, but I'm going to call BS on this.  You sent a ~200 line diff
showing how we could refactor and reduce some of the duplicated code.
You have a history of introducing unnecessary refactorings in the middle
of other topics, and this looks like another example of that.  Another
example of distracting everyone from reviewing the actual new code.

And when I say that it should be an independent topic in its own
series, you fall back to the your "oh, it was just a drive-by comment."
and/or "i didn't mean for you to actually do it." and/or "you just
read my email incorrectly."

Drive-by comments don't usually have ~200 line diffs attached....

A drive-by comment would just say that "there is an opportunity to
create a varargs version of the existing io function and reduce
some duplication in the bodies of the existing callers" and be done.
I don't need a 200 line diff to see how you spell that.

Again, sorry to rant, but I'm tired looking like the stupid half
in these conversations.

Did you really expect me to change it twice within a single 9 commit
patch series?

This series creates both "timers" and "counters" and will both appear
together if/when they are merged.  From an external point of view,
users would see version 4 added two new event types.  So I either
increment it for "timers" or I increment it for "counters" or I squash
the two commits together and increment it then.

I didn't want to squash them, so I chose the former.

You complained when/how I bumped it in V1.  So I removed it.

And I suggested that you commit your "earlier musings".  With
that in place, there would be no need for me to change the
version number (which is what you wanted all along, right?)

Right, I'll add a note to V3 stating that I did not update
the version number.
