[PATCH v2] dix: add dtrace probes to input API

Peter Hutterer peter.hutterer at who-t.net
Wed Mar 14 21:56:49 PDT 2012


For driver debugging, it is helpful to know whether the driver has actually
submitted an event to the server. dtrace hooks can help here.

Note that GetPointerEvents and friends may also be triggered by the server
for other emulated devices, some care must be taken when analysing the
results.

Additional difficulty: proximity events have a run-time assigned type, so
this may make automatic detection a tad harder. If in doubt, go for any
event > 64 since the only two that can have that value are ProximityIn and
ProximityOut.

An example systemtap script is below:

  # Compile+run with
  #       stap -g xorg.stp /usr/bin/Xorg
  #

  function print_valuators:string(nvaluators:long, mask_in:long, valuators_in:long) %{
          int i;
          unsigned char *mask = (unsigned char*)THIS->mask_in;
          double *valuators = (double*)THIS->valuators_in;
          char str[128] = {0};
          char *s = str;

  #define BitIsSet(ptr, bit) (((unsigned char*)(ptr))[(bit)>>3] & (1 << ((bit) & 7)))

          s += sprintf(s, "nval: %d ::", (int)THIS->nvaluators);
          for (i = 0; i < THIS->nvaluators; i++)
          {
                  s += sprintf(s, "	%d: ", i);
                  if (BitIsSet(mask, i))
                      s += sprintf(s, "%d", (int)valuators[i]);
          }

          sprintf(THIS->__retvalue, "%s", str);
  %}

  probe process(@1).mark("input__event")
  {
      deviceid = $arg1
      type = $arg2
      detail = $arg3
      flags = $arg4
      nvaluators = $arg5

      str = print_valuators(nvaluators, $arg6, $arg7)
      printf("Event: device %d type %d detail %d flags %#x %s\n",
              deviceid, type, detail, flags, str);
  }

Changes to v1:
- added documentation
- types changed from void* to uint8_t and double* in the mask/values
- parameter name changed from lastbit to nvalues (in comment only anyway)
