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);

98 void trace2_cmd_start_fl(const char *file, int line, const char **argv);
100 #define trace2_cmd_start(argv) trace2_cmd_start_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (argv))
103 * Emit an 'exit' event.
105 * Write the exit-code that will be passed to exit() or returned
106 * from main().
108 * Use this prior to actually calling exit().
109 * See "#define exit()" in git-compat-util.h

127 * Emit a 'pathname' event with the canonical pathname of the current process
128 * This gives post-processors a simple field to identify the command without
129 * having to parse the argv. For example, to distinguish invocations from
130 * installed versus debug executables.

138 * parent process.
139 * This gives post-processors a way to determine what invoked the command and
140 * learn more about usage patterns.
142 void trace2_cmd_ancestry_fl(const char *file, int line, const char **parent_names);

156 * Emit a 'cmd_mode' event to further describe the command being run.
157 * For example, "checkout" can checkout a single file or can checkout a
158 * different branch. This gives post-processors a simple field to compare
159 * equivalent commands without having to parse the argv.

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

196 * Emit one or more 'def_param' events for "important" environment variables.
198 * Use the TR2_SYSENV_ENV_VARS setting to register a comma-separated list of
199 * environment variables considered important. For example:
200 * git config --system trace2.envVars 'GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT,GIT_CONFIG'
201 * or:
202 * GIT_TRACE2_ENV_VARS="GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT,GIT_CONFIG"

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

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

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

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

282 * Emit an 'exec' event prior to calling one of exec(), execv(),
283 * execvp(), and etc. On Unix-derived systems, this will be the
284 * last event emitted for the current process, unless the exec
285 * fails. On Windows, exec() behaves like 'child_start' and a
286 * waitpid(), so additional events may be emitted.
288 * Returns a unique "exec-id". This value is used later
289 * if the exec() fails and a "exec-result" message is necessary.
291 int trace2_exec_fl(const char *file, int line, const char *exe,
292 const char **argv);
294 #define trace2_exec(exe, argv) trace2_exec_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (exe), (argv))
297 * Emit an 'exec_result' when possible. On Unix-derived systems,
298 * this should be called after exec() returns (which only happens
299 * when there is an error starting the new process). On Windows,
300 * this should be called after the waitpid().
302 * The "exec_id" should be the value returned from trace2_exec().
304 void trace2_exec_result_fl(const char *file, int line, int exec_id, int code);
306 #define trace2_exec_result(id, code) \
307 trace2_exec_result_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (id), (code))
310 * Emit a 'thread_start' event. This must be called from inside the
311 * thread-proc to set up the trace2 TLS data for the thread.
313 * Thread names should be descriptive, like "preload_index".
314 * Thread names will be decorated with an instance number automatically.

329 #define trace2_thread_exit() trace2_thread_exit_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__)
332 * Emits a "def_param" message containing a key/value pair.
334 * This message is intended to report some global aspect of the current
335 * command, such as a configuration setting or command line switch that
336 * significantly affects program performance or behavior, such as
337 * `core.abbrev`, `status.showUntrackedFiles`, or `--no-ahead-behind`.

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

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