[v10,0/5] Tracepoints and static branch in Rust

Message

Alice Ryhl Oct. 11, 2024, 10:13 a.m. UTC

An important part of a production ready Linux kernel driver is
tracepoints. So to write production ready Linux kernel drivers in Rust,
we must be able to call tracepoints from Rust code. This patch series
adds support for calling tracepoints declared in C from Rust.

This series includes a patch that adds a user of tracepoits to the
rust_print sample. Please see that sample for details on what is needed
to use this feature in Rust code.

This is intended for use in the Rust Binder driver, which was originally
sent as an RFC [1]. The RFC did not include tracepoint support, but you
can see how it will be used in Rust Binder at [2]. The author has
verified that the tracepoint support works on Android devices.

This implementation implements support for static keys in Rust so that
the actual static branch happens in the Rust object file. However, the
__DO_TRACE body remains in C code. See v1 for an implementation where
__DO_TRACE is also implemented in Rust.

Based on top of commit eb887c4567d1 ("tracing: Use atomic64_inc_return()
in trace_clock_counter()") from trace/for-next, which is in turn based
on top of v6.12-rc2.
