5 * The Trace2 API can be used to print debug, performance, and telemetry
6 * information to stderr or a file. The Trace2 feature is inactive unless
7 * explicitly enabled by enabling one or more Trace2 Targets.
9 * The Trace2 API is intended to replace the existing (Trace1)
10 * printf-style tracing provided by the existing `GIT_TRACE` and
11 * `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE` facilities. During initial implementation,
12 * Trace2 and Trace1 may operate in parallel.
14 * The Trace2 API defines a set of high-level messages with known fields,
15 * such as (`start`: `argv`) and (`exit`: {`exit-code`, `elapsed-time`}).
17 * Trace2 instrumentation throughout the Git code base sends Trace2
18 * messages to the enabled Trace2 Targets. Targets transform these
19 * messages content into purpose-specific formats and write events to
20 * their data streams. In this manner, the Trace2 API can drive
21 * many different types of analysis.
23 * Targets are defined using a VTable allowing easy extension to other
24 * formats in the future. This might be used to define a binary format,
25 * for example.
27 * Trace2 is controlled using `trace2.*` config values in the system and
28 * global config files and `GIT_TRACE2*` environment variables. Trace2 does
29 * not read from repo local or worktree config files or respect `-c`
30 * command line config settings.
32 * For more info about: trace2 targets, conventions for public functions and
33 * macros, trace2 target formats and examples on trace2 API usage refer to
34 * Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt
38 struct child_process;
39 struct repository;
40 struct json_writer;
43 * The public TRACE2 routines are grouped into the following groups:
45 * [] trace2_initialize -- initialization.
46 * [] trace2_cmd_* -- emit command/control messages.
47 * [] trace2_child* -- emit child start/stop messages.
48 * [] trace2_exec* -- emit exec start/stop messages.
49 * [] trace2_thread* -- emit thread start/stop messages.
50 * [] trace2_def* -- emit definition/parameter mesasges.
51 * [] trace2_region* -- emit region nesting messages.
52 * [] trace2_data* -- emit region/thread/repo data messages.
53 * [] trace2_printf* -- legacy trace[1] messages.
57 * Initialize the TRACE2 clock and do nothing else, in particular
58 * no mallocs, no system inspection, and no environment inspection.
60 * This should be called at the very top of main() to capture the
61 * process start time. This is intended to reduce chicken-n-egg
62 * bootstrap pressure.
64 * It is safe to call this more than once. This allows capturing
65 * absolute startup costs on Windows which uses a little trickery
66 * to do setup work before common-main.c:main() is called.
68 * The main trace2_initialize_fl() may be called a little later
69 * after more infrastructure is established.
71 void trace2_initialize_clock(void);
74 * Initialize TRACE2 tracing facility if any of the builtin TRACE2
75 * targets are enabled in the system config or the environment.
76 * This includes setting up the Trace2 thread local storage (TLS).
77 * Emits a 'version' message containing the version of git
78 * and the Trace2 protocol.
80 * This function should be called from `main()` as early as possible in
81 * the life of the process after essential process initialization.
83 * Cleanup/Termination is handled automatically by a registered
84 * atexit() routine.
86 void trace2_initialize_fl(const char *file, int line);

91 * Return 1 if trace2 is enabled (at least one target is active).
93 int trace2_is_enabled(void);

100 #define trace2_cmd_start(argv) trace2_cmd_start_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (argv))

105 void trace2_cmd_exit_fl(const char *file, int line, int code);
107 #define trace2_cmd_exit(code) (trace2_cmd_exit_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (code)))
110 * Emit an 'error' event.
112 * Write an error message to the TRACE2 targets.

117 #define trace2_cmd_error_va(fmt, ap) \
118 trace2_cmd_error_va_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (fmt), (ap))
121 * Emit a 'pathname' event with the canonical pathname of the current process
122 * This gives post-processors a simple field to identify the command without
123 * having to parse the argv. For example, to distinguish invocations from
124 * installed versus debug executables.

131 * Emit an 'ancestry' event with the process name of the current process's
132 * parent process.
133 * This gives post-processors a way to determine what invoked the command and
134 * learn more about usage patterns.
136 void trace2_cmd_ancestry_fl(const char *file, int line, const char **parent_names);
138 #define trace2_cmd_ancestry(v) trace2_cmd_ancestry_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (v))

147 #define trace2_cmd_name(v) trace2_cmd_name_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (v))
150 * Emit a 'cmd_mode' event to further describe the command being run.
151 * For example, "checkout" can checkout a single file or can checkout a
152 * different branch. This gives post-processors a simple field to compare
153 * equivalent commands without having to parse the argv.
155 void trace2_cmd_mode_fl(const char *file, int line, const char *mode);

170 * Emit one or more 'def_param' events for "important" configuration
171 * settings.
173 * Use the TR2_SYSENV_CFG_PARAM setting to register a comma-separated
174 * list of patterns configured important. For example:
175 * git config --system trace2.configParams 'core.*,remote.*.url'
176 * or:
177 * GIT_TRACE2_CONFIG_PARAMS=core.*,remote.*.url"
179 * Note: this routine does a read-only iteration on the config data
180 * (using read_early_config()), so it must not be called until enough
181 * of the process environment has been established. This includes the
182 * location of the git and worktree directories, expansion of any "-c"
183 * and "-C" command line options, and etc.

187 #define trace2_cmd_list_config() trace2_cmd_list_config_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__)
190 * Emit one or more 'def_param' events for "important" environment variables.
192 * Use the TR2_SYSENV_ENV_VARS setting to register a comma-separated list of
193 * environment variables considered important. For example:
194 * git config --system trace2.envVars 'GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT,GIT_CONFIG'
195 * or:
196 * GIT_TRACE2_ENV_VARS="GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT,GIT_CONFIG"

203 * Emit a "def_param" event for the given config key/value pair IF

206 * Use this for new/updated config settings created/updated after
207 * trace2_cmd_list_config() is called.

216 * Emits a "child_start" message containing the "child-id",
217 * "child-argv", and "child-classification".
219 * Before calling optionally set "cmd->trace2_child_class" to a string
220 * describing the type of the child process. For example, "editor" or
221 * "pager".
223 * This function assigns a unique "child-id" to `cmd->trace2_child_id`.
224 * This field is used later during the "child_exit" message to associate
225 * it with the "child_start" message.
227 * This function should be called before spawning the child process.

235 * Emits a "child_exit" message containing the "child-id",
236 * the child's elapsed time and exit-code.
238 * The reported elapsed time includes the process creation overhead and
239 * time spend waiting for it to exit, so it may be slightly longer than
240 * the time reported by the child itself.
242 * This function should be called after reaping the child process.

251 * Emits a "child_ready" message containing the "child-id" and a flag
252 * indicating whether the child was considered "ready" when we
253 * released it.
255 * This function should be called after starting a daemon process in
256 * the background (and after giving it sufficient time to boot
257 * up) to indicate that we no longer control or own it.
259 * The "ready" argument should contain one of { "ready", "timeout",
260 * "error" } to indicate the state of the running daemon when we
261 * released it.
263 * If the daemon process fails to start or it exits or is terminated
264 * while we are still waiting for it, the caller should emit a
265 * regular "child_exit" to report the normal process exit information.

276 * Emit an 'exec' event prior to calling one of exec(), execv(),
277 * execvp(), and etc. On Unix-derived systems, this will be the
278 * last event emitted for the current process, unless the exec
279 * fails. On Windows, exec() behaves like 'child_start' and a
280 * waitpid(), so additional events may be emitted.
282 * Returns a unique "exec-id". This value is used later
283 * if the exec() fails and a "exec-result" message is necessary.

286 const char **argv);
288 #define trace2_exec(exe, argv) trace2_exec_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (exe), (argv))
291 * Emit an 'exec_result' when possible. On Unix-derived systems,
292 * this should be called after exec() returns (which only happens
293 * when there is an error starting the new process). On Windows,
294 * this should be called after the waitpid().
296 * The "exec_id" should be the value returned from trace2_exec().
298 void trace2_exec_result_fl(const char *file, int line, int exec_id, int code);
300 #define trace2_exec_result(id, code) \
301 trace2_exec_result_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (id), (code))
304 * Emit a 'thread_start' event. This must be called from inside the
305 * thread-proc to set up the trace2 TLS data for the thread.
307 * Thread names should be descriptive, like "preload_index".
308 * Thread names will be decorated with an instance number automatically.

319 * for the thread.
321 void trace2_thread_exit_fl(const char *file, int line);
323 #define trace2_thread_exit() trace2_thread_exit_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__)
326 * Emits a "def_param" message containing a key/value pair.
328 * This message is intended to report some global aspect of the current
329 * command, such as a configuration setting or command line switch that
330 * significantly affects program performance or behavior, such as
331 * `core.abbrev`, `status.showUntrackedFiles`, or `--no-ahead-behind`.

340 * Tell trace2 about a newly instantiated repo object and assign
341 * a trace2-repo-id to be used in subsequent activity events.
343 * Emits a 'worktree' event for this repo instance.
345 * Region and data messages may refer to this repo-id.
347 * The main/top-level repository will have repo-id value 1 (aka "r1").
349 * The repo-id field is in anticipation of future in-proc submodule
350 * repositories.

358 * repo-id and printf message.
360 * This function pushes a new region nesting stack level on the current
361 * thread and starts a clock for the new stack frame.
363 * The `category` field is an arbitrary category name used to classify
364 * regions by feature area, such as "status" or "index". At this time
365 * it is only just printed along with the rest of the message. It may
366 * be used in the future to filter messages.
368 * The `label` field is an arbitrary label used to describe the activity
369 * being started, such as "read_recursive" or "do_read_index".
371 * The `repo` field, if set, will be used to get the "repo-id", so that
372 * recursive operations can be attributed to the correct repository.
