339a7dde | 5 | The goal of the present document is to specify a trace format that suits the |
cc089c3a | 6 | needs of the embedded, telecom, high-performance and kernel communities. It is |
5ba9f198 | 7 | based on the Common Trace Format Requirements (v1.4) document. It is designed to |
cc089c3a | 8 | allow traces to be natively generated by the Linux kernel, Linux user-space |
6c7226e9 MD |
9 | applications written in C/C++, and hardware components. One major element of |
10 | CTF is the Trace Stream Description Language (TSDL) which flexibility | |
11 | enables description of various binary trace stream layouts. | |

72 | - Event Trace: An ordered sequence of events. |
73 | - Event Stream: An ordered sequence of events, containing a subset of the | |
74 | trace event types. | |
75 | - Event Packet: A sequence of physically contiguous events within an event | |
76 | stream. | |
5ba9f198 MD |
77 | - Event: This is the basic entry in a trace. (aka: a trace record). |
78 | - An event identifier (ID) relates to the class (a type) of event within | |
3bf79539 MD |
79 | an event stream. |
80 | e.g. event: irq_entry. | |
5ba9f198 MD |
81 | - An event (or event record) relates to a specific instance of an event |
82 | class. | |
3bf79539 MD |
83 | e.g. event: irq_entry, at time X, on CPU Y |
84 | - Source Architecture: Architecture writing the trace. | |
85 | - Reader Architecture: Architecture reading the trace. | |

88 | 2. High-level representation of a trace | |
89 | ||
3bf79539 MD |
90 | A trace is divided into multiple event streams. Each event stream contains a |
91 | subset of the trace event types. | |
5ba9f198 | 92 | |
3bf79539 MD |
93 | The final output of the trace, after its generation and optional transport over |
94 | the network, is expected to be either on permanent or temporary storage in a | |
95 | virtual file system. Because each event stream is appended to while a trace is | |
32254806 MD |
96 | being recorded, each is associated with a distinct set of files for |
97 | output. Therefore, a stored trace can be represented as a directory | |
98 | containing zero, one or more files per stream. | |
5ba9f198 | 99 | |
6672e9e1 MD |
100 | Meta-data description associated with the trace contains information on |
101 | trace event types expressed in the Trace Stream Description Language | |
102 | (TSDL). This language describes: | |
5ba9f198 MD |
103 | |
104 | - Trace version. | |
105 | - Types available. | |
6672e9e1 | 106 | - Per-trace event header description. |
3bf79539 | 107 | - Per-stream event header description. |
6672e9e1 | 108 | - Per-stream event context description. |
5ba9f198 | 109 | - Per-event |
3bf79539 | 110 | - Event type to stream mapping. |
5ba9f198 MD |
111 | - Event type to name mapping. |
112 | - Event type to ID mapping. | |
6672e9e1 | 113 | - Event context description. |
5ba9f198 MD |
114 | - Event fields description. |
115 | ||
116 | ||
3bf79539 | 117 | 3. Event stream |
5ba9f198 | 118 | |
6672e9e1 MD |
119 | An event stream can be divided into contiguous event packets of variable |
120 | size. These subdivisions have a variable size. An event packet can | |
121 | contain a certain amount of padding at the end. The stream header is | |
122 | repeated at the beginning of each event packet. The rationale for the | |
123 | event stream design choices is explained in Appendix B. Stream Header | |
124 | Rationale. | |
5ba9f198 | 125 | |
3bf79539 MD |
126 | The event stream header will therefore be referred to as the "event packet |
127 | header" throughout the rest of this document. | |

130 | 4. Types | |
131 | ||
1fad7a85 MD |
132 | Types are organized as type classes. Each type class belong to either of two |
133 | kind of types: basic types or compound types. | |
134 | ||
5ba9f198 MD |
135 | 4.1 Basic types |
136 | ||
1fad7a85 MD |
137 | A basic type is a scalar type, as described in this section. It includes |
138 | integers, GNU/C bitfields, enumerations, and floating point values. | |
5ba9f198 MD |
139 | |
140 | 4.1.1 Type inheritance | |
141 | ||
80fd2569 MD |
142 | Type specifications can be inherited to allow deriving types from a |
143 | type class. For example, see the uint32_t named type derived from the "integer" | |
144 | type class below ("Integers" section). Types have a precise binary | |
145 | representation in the trace. A type class has methods to read and write these | |
146 | types, but must be derived into a type to be usable in an event field. | |
5ba9f198 MD |
147 | |
148 | 4.1.2 Alignment | |
149 | ||
150 | We define "byte-packed" types as aligned on the byte size, namely 8-bit. | |
151 | We define "bit-packed" types as following on the next bit, as defined by the | |
370eae99 | 152 | "Integers" section. |
5ba9f198 | 153 | |
6672e9e1 | 154 | Each basic type must specify its alignment, in bits. Examples of |
ec4404a7 MD |
155 | possible alignments are: bit-packed (align = 1), byte-packed (align = |
156 | 8), or word-aligned (e.g. align = 32 or align = 64). The choice depends | |
157 | on the architecture preference and compactness vs performance trade-offs | |
158 | of the implementation. Architectures providing fast unaligned write | |
159 | byte-packed basic types to save space, aligning each type on byte | |
160 | boundaries (8-bit). Architectures with slow unaligned writes align types | |
161 | on specific alignment values. If no specific alignment is declared for a | |
162 | type, it is assumed to be bit-packed for integers with size not multiple | |
163 | of 8 bits and for gcc bitfields. All other basic types are byte-packed | |
164 | by default. It is however recommended to always specify the alignment | |
165 | explicitly. Alignment values must be power of two. Compound types are | |
166 | aligned as specified in their individual specification. | |
5ba9f198 | 167 | |
6672e9e1 | 168 | TSDL meta-data attribute representation of a specific alignment: |
5ba9f198 MD |
169 | |
170 | align = value; /* value in bits */ | |
171 | ||
172 | 4.1.3 Byte order | |
173 | ||
3bf79539 MD |
174 | By default, the native endianness of the source architecture the trace is used. |
175 | Byte order can be overridden for a basic type by specifying a "byte_order" | |
176 | attribute. Typical use-case is to specify the network byte order (big endian: | |
177 | "be") to save data captured from the network into the trace without conversion. | |
178 | If not specified, the byte order is native. | |
5ba9f198 | 179 | |
6672e9e1 | 180 | TSDL meta-data representation: |
5ba9f198 MD |
181 | |
182 | byte_order = native OR network OR be OR le; /* network and be are aliases */ | |
183 | ||
184 | 4.1.4 Size | |
185 | ||
186 | Type size, in bits, for integers and floats is that returned by "sizeof()" in C | |
187 | multiplied by CHAR_BIT. | |
188 | We require the size of "char" and "unsigned char" types (CHAR_BIT) to be fixed | |
189 | to 8 bits for cross-endianness compatibility. | |
190 | ||
6672e9e1 | 191 | TSDL meta-data representation: |
5ba9f198 MD |
192 | |
193 | size = value; (value is in bits) | |
194 | ||
195 | 4.1.5 Integers | |
196 | ||
6672e9e1 MD |
197 | Signed integers are represented in two-complement. Integer alignment, |
198 | size, signedness and byte ordering are defined in the TSDL meta-data. | |
199 | Integers aligned on byte size (8-bit) and with length multiple of byte | |
200 | size (8-bit) correspond to the C99 standard integers. In addition, | |
201 | integers with alignment and/or size that are _not_ a multiple of the | |
202 | byte size are permitted; these correspond to the C99 standard bitfields, | |
203 | with the added specification that the CTF integer bitfields have a fixed | |
204 | binary representation. A MIT-licensed reference implementation of the | |
205 | CTF portable bitfields is available at: | |
5ba9f198 MD |
206 | |
207 | http://git.efficios.com/?p=babeltrace.git;a=blob;f=include/babeltrace/bitfield.h | |
208 | ||
209 | Binary representation of integers: | |
210 | ||
211 | - On little and big endian: | |
212 | - Within a byte, high bits correspond to an integer high bits, and low bits | |
213 | correspond to low bits. | |
214 | - On little endian: | |
215 | - Integer across multiple bytes are placed from the less significant to the | |
216 | most significant. | |
217 | - Consecutive integers are placed from lower bits to higher bits (even within | |
218 | a byte). | |
219 | - On big endian: | |
220 | - Integer across multiple bytes are placed from the most significant to the | |
221 | less significant. | |
222 | - Consecutive integers are placed from higher bits to lower bits (even within | |
223 | a byte). | |
224 | ||
225 | This binary representation is derived from the bitfield implementation in GCC | |
226 | for little and big endian. However, contrary to what GCC does, integers can | |
6672e9e1 | 227 | cross units boundaries (no padding is required). Padding can be explicitly |
5ba9f198 MD |
228 | added (see 4.1.6 GNU/C bitfields) to follow the GCC layout if needed. |
229 | ||
6672e9e1 | 230 | TSDL meta-data representation: |
5ba9f198 | 231 | |
80fd2569 | 232 | integer { |
5ba9f198 MD |
233 | signed = true OR false; /* default false */ |
234 | byte_order = native OR network OR be OR le; /* default native */ | |
235 | size = value; /* value in bits, no default */ | |
236 | align = value; /* value in bits */ | |
56b77c06 MD |
237 | /* based used for pretty-printing output, default: decimal. */ |
238 | base = decimal OR dec OR OR d OR i OR u OR 10 OR hexadecimal OR hex OR x OR X OR p OR 16 | |
239 | OR octal OR oct OR o OR 8 OR binary OR b OR 2; | |
13441bf5 MD |
240 | /* character encoding, default: none */ |
241 | encoding = none or UTF8 or ASCII; | |
2152348f | 242 | } |
5ba9f198 | 243 | |
80fd2569 | 244 | Example of type inheritance (creation of a uint32_t named type): |
5ba9f198 | 245 | |
359894ac | 246 | typealias integer { |
9e4e34e9 | 247 | size = 32; |
5ba9f198 MD |
248 | signed = false; |
249 | align = 32; | |
38b8da21 | 250 | } := uint32_t; |
5ba9f198 | 251 | |
80fd2569 | 252 | Definition of a named 5-bit signed bitfield: |
5ba9f198 | 253 | |
359894ac | 254 | typealias integer { |
5ba9f198 MD |
255 | size = 5; |
256 | signed = true; | |
257 | align = 1; | |
38b8da21 | 258 | } := int5_t; |
5ba9f198 | 259 | |
13441bf5 MD |
260 | The character encoding field can be used to specify that the integer |
261 | must be printed as a text character when read. e.g.: | |
262 | ||
263 | typealias integer { | |
264 | size = 8; | |
265 | align = 8; | |
266 | signed = false; | |
267 | encoding = UTF8; | |
268 | } := utf_char; | |
269 | ||
270 | ||
5ba9f198 MD |
271 | 4.1.6 GNU/C bitfields |
272 | ||
273 | The GNU/C bitfields follow closely the integer representation, with a | |
274 | particularity on alignment: if a bitfield cannot fit in the current unit, the | |
80fd2569 MD |
275 | unit is padded and the bitfield starts at the following unit. The unit size is |
276 | defined by the size of the type "unit_type". | |
5ba9f198 | 277 | |
6672e9e1 | 278 | TSDL meta-data representation: |
80fd2569 | 279 | |
d674f4b8 | 280 | unit_type name:size; |
80fd2569 | 281 | |
5ba9f198 MD |
282 | As an example, the following structure declared in C compiled by GCC: |
283 | ||
284 | struct example { | |
285 | short a:12; | |
286 | short b:5; | |
287 | }; | |
288 | ||
2152348f MD |
289 | The example structure is aligned on the largest element (short). The second |
290 | bitfield would be aligned on the next unit boundary, because it would not fit in | |
291 | the current unit. | |
5ba9f198 MD |
292 | |
293 | 4.1.7 Floating point | |
294 | ||
6672e9e1 | 295 | The floating point values byte ordering is defined in the TSDL meta-data. |
5ba9f198 MD |
296 | |
297 | Floating point values follow the IEEE 754-2008 standard interchange formats. | |
298 | Description of the floating point values include the exponent and mantissa size | |
299 | in bits. Some requirements are imposed on the floating point values: | |
300 | ||
301 | - FLT_RADIX must be 2. | |
302 | - mant_dig is the number of digits represented in the mantissa. It is specified | |
303 | by the ISO C99 standard, section 5.2.4, as FLT_MANT_DIG, DBL_MANT_DIG and | |
304 | LDBL_MANT_DIG as defined by <float.h>. | |
305 | - exp_dig is the number of digits represented in the exponent. Given that | |
306 | mant_dig is one bit more than its actual size in bits (leading 1 is not | |
307 | needed) and also given that the sign bit always takes one bit, exp_dig can be | |
308 | specified as: | |
309 | ||
310 | - sizeof(float) * CHAR_BIT - FLT_MANT_DIG | |
311 | - sizeof(double) * CHAR_BIT - DBL_MANT_DIG | |
312 | - sizeof(long double) * CHAR_BIT - LDBL_MANT_DIG | |
313 | ||
6672e9e1 | 314 | TSDL meta-data representation: |
5ba9f198 | 315 | |
80fd2569 | 316 | floating_point { |
ec4404a7 MD |
317 | exp_dig = value; |
318 | mant_dig = value; | |
319 | byte_order = native OR network OR be OR le; | |
320 | align = value; | |
2152348f | 321 | } |
5ba9f198 MD |
322 | |
323 | Example of type inheritance: | |
324 | ||
359894ac | 325 | typealias floating_point { |
5ba9f198 MD |
326 | exp_dig = 8; /* sizeof(float) * CHAR_BIT - FLT_MANT_DIG */ |
327 | mant_dig = 24; /* FLT_MANT_DIG */ | |
328 | byte_order = native; | |
ec4404a7 | 329 | align = 32; |
38b8da21 | 330 | } := float; |
5ba9f198 MD |
331 | |
332 | TODO: define NaN, +inf, -inf behavior. | |
333 | ||
ec4404a7 MD |
334 | Bit-packed, byte-packed or larger alignments can be used for floating |
335 | point values, similarly to integers. | |
336 | ||
5ba9f198 MD |
337 | 4.1.8 Enumerations |
338 | ||
339 | Enumerations are a mapping between an integer type and a table of strings. The | |
340 | numerical representation of the enumeration follows the integer type specified | |
6672e9e1 MD |
341 | by the meta-data. The enumeration mapping table is detailed in the enumeration |
342 | description within the meta-data. The mapping table maps inclusive value | |
343 | ranges (or single values) to strings. Instead of being limited to simple | |
3bf79539 | 344 | "value -> string" mappings, these enumerations map |
80fd2569 | 345 | "[ start_value ... end_value ] -> string", which map inclusive ranges of |
3bf79539 MD |
346 | values to strings. An enumeration from the C language can be represented in |
347 | this format by having the same start_value and end_value for each element, which | |
348 | is in fact a range of size 1. This single-value range is supported without | |
4767a9e7 | 349 | repeating the start and end values with the value = string declaration. |
80fd2569 | 350 | |
a9b83695 | 351 | enum name : integer_type { |
359894ac | 352 | somestring = start_value1 ... end_value1, |
80fd2569 MD |
353 | "other string" = start_value2 ... end_value2, |
354 | yet_another_string, /* will be assigned to end_value2 + 1 */ | |
355 | "some other string" = value, | |
356 | ... | |
357 | }; | |
358 | ||
359 | If the values are omitted, the enumeration starts at 0 and increment of 1 for | |
360 | each entry: | |
361 | ||
a9b83695 | 362 | enum name : unsigned int { |
80fd2569 MD |
363 | ZERO, |
364 | ONE, | |
365 | TWO, | |
366 | TEN = 10, | |
367 | ELEVEN, | |
3bf79539 | 368 | }; |
5ba9f198 | 369 | |
80fd2569 | 370 | Overlapping ranges within a single enumeration are implementation defined. |
5ba9f198 | 371 | |
2152348f MD |
372 | A nameless enumeration can be declared as a field type or as part of a typedef: |
373 | ||
a9b83695 | 374 | enum : integer_type { |
2152348f MD |
375 | ... |
376 | } | |
377 | ||
c2742c56 MD |
378 | Enumerations omitting the container type ": integer_type" use the "int" |
379 | type (for compatibility with C99). The "int" type must be previously | |
380 | declared. E.g.: | |
381 | ||
382 | typealias integer { size = 32; align = 32; signed = true } := int; | |
383 | ||
384 | enum { | |
385 | ... | |
386 | } | |
387 | ||
1fad7a85 | 388 | |
5ba9f198 MD |
389 | 4.2 Compound types |
390 | ||
1fad7a85 MD |
391 | Compound are aggregation of type declarations. Compound types include |
392 | structures, variant, arrays, sequences, and strings. | |
393 | ||
5ba9f198 MD |
394 | 4.2.1 Structures |
395 | ||
396 | Structures are aligned on the largest alignment required by basic types | |
397 | contained within the structure. (This follows the ISO/C standard for structures) | |
398 | ||
6672e9e1 | 399 | TSDL meta-data representation of a named structure: |
5ba9f198 | 400 | |
80fd2569 MD |
401 | struct name { |
402 | field_type field_name; | |
403 | field_type field_name; | |
404 | ... | |
405 | }; | |
5ba9f198 MD |
406 | |
407 | Example: | |
408 | ||
80fd2569 MD |
409 | struct example { |
410 | integer { /* Nameless type */ | |
411 | size = 16; | |

3bf79539 | 416 | }; |
5ba9f198 | 417 | |
4cac83ee MD |
418 | The fields are placed in a sequence next to each other. They each |
419 | possess a field name, which is a unique identifier within the structure. | |
420 | The identifier is not allowed to use any reserved keyword | |
421 | (see Section C.1.2). Replacing reserved keywords with | |
422 | underscore-prefixed field names is recommended. | |
5ba9f198 | 423 | |
2152348f | 424 | A nameless structure can be declared as a field type or as part of a typedef: |
80fd2569 MD |
425 | |
426 | struct { | |
427 | ... | |
2152348f | 428 | } |
80fd2569 | 429 | |
ec4404a7 MD |
430 | Alignment for a structure compound type can be forced to a minimum value |
431 | by adding an "align" specifier after the declaration of a structure | |
432 | body. This attribute is read as: align(value). The value is specified in | |
433 | bits. The structure will be aligned on the maximum value between this | |
434 | attribute and the alignment required by the basic types contained within | |
435 | the structure. e.g. | |
436 | ||
437 | struct { | |
438 | ... | |
439 | } align(32) | |

77a98c82 | 441 | 4.2.2 Variants (Discriminated/Tagged Unions) |
fcba70d4 | 442 | |
fdf2bb05 MD |
443 | A CTF variant is a selection between different types. A CTF variant must |
444 | always be defined within the scope of a structure or within fields | |
445 | contained within a structure (defined recursively). A "tag" enumeration | |
37ab95c3 MD |
446 | field must appear in either the same static scope, prior to the variant |
447 | field (in field declaration order), in an upper static scope , or in an | |
448 | upper dynamic scope (see Section 7.3.2). The type selection is indicated | |
449 | by the mapping from the enumeration value to the string used as variant | |
450 | type selector. The field to use as tag is specified by the "tag_field", | |
451 | specified between "< >" after the "variant" keyword for unnamed | |
452 | variants, and after "variant name" for named variants. | |
fcba70d4 MD |
453 | |
454 | The alignment of the variant is the alignment of the type as selected by the tag | |
455 | value for the specific instance of the variant. The alignment of the type | |
456 | containing the variant is independent of the variant alignment. The size of the | |
457 | variant is the size as selected by the tag value for the specific instance of | |
458 | the variant. | |
459 | ||
4cac83ee MD |
460 | Each variant type selector possess a field name, which is a unique |
461 | identifier within the variant. The identifier is not allowed to use any | |
462 | reserved keyword (see Section C.1.2). Replacing reserved keywords with | |
463 | underscore-prefixed field names is recommended. | |
464 | ||
fcba70d4 MD |

564 | 4.2.3 Arrays | |
5ba9f198 | 565 | |
6672e9e1 MD |
566 | Arrays are fixed-length. Their length is declared in the type |
567 | declaration within the meta-data. They contain an array of "inner type" | |
568 | elements, which can refer to any type not containing the type of the | |
569 | array being declared (no circular dependency). The length is the number | |
570 | of elements in an array. | |
5ba9f198 | 571 | |
6672e9e1 | 572 | TSDL meta-data representation of a named array: |
80fd2569 MD |
573 | |
574 | typedef elem_type name[length]; | |
5ba9f198 | 575 | |
2152348f | 576 | A nameless array can be declared as a field type within a structure, e.g.: |
5ba9f198 | 577 | |
2152348f | 578 | uint8_t field_name[10]; |
80fd2569 | 579 | |
ec4404a7 | 580 | Arrays are always aligned on their element alignment requirement. |
5ba9f198 | 581 | |
fcba70d4 | 582 | 4.2.4 Sequences |
5ba9f198 | 583 | |
1ab22b2a | 584 | Sequences are dynamically-sized arrays. They refer to a a "length" |
37ab95c3 | 585 | unsigned integer field, which must appear in either the same static scope, |
1ab22b2a | 586 | prior to the sequence field (in field declaration order), in an upper |
37ab95c3 MD |
587 | static scope, or in an upper dynamic scope (see Section 7.3.2). This |
588 | length field represents the number of elements in the sequence. The | |
589 | sequence per se is an array of "inner type" elements. | |
5ba9f198 | 590 | |
1ab22b2a | 591 | TSDL meta-data representation for a sequence type definition: |
80fd2569 | 592 | |
1ab22b2a MD |
593 | struct { |
594 | unsigned int length_field; | |
595 | typedef elem_type typename[length_field]; | |
596 | typename seq_field_name; | |
597 | } | |
598 | ||
599 | A sequence can also be declared as a field type, e.g.: | |
80fd2569 | 600 | |
1ab22b2a MD |
601 | struct { |
602 | unsigned int length_field; | |
603 | long seq_field_name[length_field]; | |
604 | } | |
80fd2569 | 605 | |
1ab22b2a MD |
606 | Multiple sequences can refer to the same length field, and these length |
607 | fields can be in a different upper dynamic scope: | |
608 | ||
609 | e.g., assuming the stream.event.header defines: | |
610 | ||
611 | stream { | |
612 | ... | |
613 | id = 1; | |
614 | event.header := struct { | |
615 | uint16_t seq_len; | |
616 | }; | |
617 | }; | |
618 | ||
619 | event { | |
620 | ... | |
621 | stream_id = 1; | |
622 | fields := struct { | |
623 | long seq_a[stream.event.header.seq_len]; | |
624 | char seq_b[stream.event.header.seq_len]; | |
625 | }; | |
626 | }; | |
80fd2569 | 627 | |
1ab22b2a | 628 | The sequence elements follow the "array" specifications. |
5ba9f198 | 629 | |
fcba70d4 | 630 | 4.2.5 Strings |
5ba9f198 MD |
631 | |
632 | Strings are an array of bytes of variable size and are terminated by a '\0' | |
6672e9e1 MD |
633 | "NULL" character. Their encoding is described in the TSDL meta-data. In |
634 | absence of encoding attribute information, the default encoding is | |
635 | UTF-8. | |
5ba9f198 | 636 | |
6672e9e1 | 637 | TSDL meta-data representation of a named string type: |
80fd2569 | 638 | |
359894ac | 639 | typealias string { |
5ba9f198 | 640 | encoding = UTF8 OR ASCII; |
38b8da21 | 641 | } := name; |
5ba9f198 | 642 | |
80fd2569 MD |
643 | A nameless string type can be declared as a field type: |
644 | ||
645 | string field_name; /* Use default UTF8 encoding */ | |
5ba9f198 | 646 | |
ec4404a7 MD |
647 | Strings are always aligned on byte size. |
648 | ||
3bf79539 MD |
649 | 5. Event Packet Header |
650 | ||
6672e9e1 MD |
651 | The event packet header consists of two parts: the "event packet header" |
652 | is the same for all streams of a trace. The second part, the "event | |
653 | packet context", is described on a per-stream basis. Both are described | |
654 | in the TSDL meta-data. The packets are aligned on architecture-page-sized | |
655 | addresses. | |
3bf79539 | 656 | |
6672e9e1 | 657 | Event packet header (all fields are optional, specified by TSDL meta-data): |
3bf79539 | 658 | |
6672e9e1 MD |
659 | - Magic number (CTF magic number: 0xC1FC1FC1) specifies that this is a |
660 | CTF packet. This magic number is optional, but when present, it should | |
661 | come at the very beginning of the packet. | |
662 | - Trace UUID, used to ensure the event packet match the meta-data used. | |
663 | (note: we cannot use a meta-data checksum in every cases instead of a | |
664 | UUID because meta-data can be appended to while tracing is active) | |
665 | This field is optional. | |
666 | - Stream ID, used as reference to stream description in meta-data. | |
667 | This field is optional if there is only one stream description in the | |
668 | meta-data, but becomes required if there are more than one stream in | |
669 | the TSDL meta-data description. | |
3bf79539 | 670 | |
6672e9e1 | 671 | Event packet context (all fields are optional, specified by TSDL meta-data): |
3bf79539 | 672 | |
4dfca05b MD |
673 | - Event packet content size (in bits). |
674 | - Event packet size (in bits, includes padding). | |
cda89682 | 675 | - Event packet content checksum. Checksum excludes the event packet |
3bf79539 MD |
676 | header. |
677 | - Per-stream event packet sequence count (to deal with UDP packet loss). The | |
678 | number of significant sequence counter bits should also be present, so | |
b11853af | 679 | wrap-arounds are dealt with correctly. |
6672e9e1 | 680 | - Time-stamp at the beginning and time-stamp at the end of the event packet. |
3bf79539 MD |
681 | Both timestamps are written in the packet header, but sampled respectively |
682 | while (or before) writing the first event and while (or after) writing the | |
683 | last event in the packet. The inclusive range between these timestamps should | |
684 | include all event timestamps assigned to events contained within the packet. | |
5ba9f198 | 685 | - Events discarded count |
3bf79539 MD |
686 | - Snapshot of a per-stream free-running counter, counting the number of |
687 | events discarded that were supposed to be written in the stream prior to | |
688 | the first event in the event packet. | |
5ba9f198 | 689 | * Note: producer-consumer buffer full condition should fill the current |
3bf79539 | 690 | event packet with padding so we know exactly where events have been |
5ba9f198 | 691 | discarded. |
3bf79539 MD |
692 | - Lossless compression scheme used for the event packet content. Applied |
693 | directly to raw data. New types of compression can be added in following | |
694 | versions of the format. | |
5ba9f198 MD |
695 | 0: no compression scheme |
696 | 1: bzip2 | |
697 | 2: gzip | |
3bf79539 MD |
698 | 3: xz |
699 | - Cypher used for the event packet content. Applied after compression. | |
5ba9f198 MD |
700 | 0: no encryption |
701 | 1: AES | |
3bf79539 | 702 | - Checksum scheme used for the event packet content. Applied after encryption. |
5ba9f198 MD |
703 | 0: no checksum |
704 | 1: md5 | |
705 | 2: sha1 | |
706 | 3: crc32 | |
707 | ||
6672e9e1 | 708 | 5.1 Event Packet Header Description |
3bf79539 | 709 | |
fc5425db | 710 | The event packet header layout is indicated by the trace packet.header |
6672e9e1 MD |
711 | field. Here is a recommended structure type for the packet header with |
712 | the fields typically expected (although these fields are each optional): | |
fc5425db | 713 | |
80fd2569 MD |
714 | struct event_packet_header { |
715 | uint32_t magic; | |
3fde5da1 | 716 | uint8_t uuid[16]; |
3bf79539 | 717 | uint32_t stream_id; |
80fd2569 | 718 | }; |
5ba9f198 | 719 | |
fc5425db MD |
720 | trace { |
721 | ... | |
722 | packet.header := struct event_packet_header; | |
723 | }; | |
724 | ||
6672e9e1 MD |
725 | If the magic number is not present, tools such as "file" will have no |
726 | mean to discover the file type. | |
727 | ||
3fde5da1 MD |
728 | If the uuid is not present, no validation that the meta-data actually |
729 | corresponds to the stream is performed. | |
37b39e47 MD |
730 | |
731 | If the stream_id packet header field is missing, the trace can only | |
732 | contain a single stream. Its "id" field can be left out, and its events | |
733 | don't need to declare a "stream_id" field. | |
734 | ||
735 | ||
3bf79539 MD |
736 | 5.2 Event Packet Context Description |
737 | ||
738 | Event packet context example. These are declared within the stream declaration | |
6672e9e1 | 739 | in the meta-data. All these fields are optional. If the packet size field is |
6a7c61df | 740 | missing, the whole stream only contains a single packet. If the content |
f6b81726 MD |
741 | size field is missing, the packet is filled (no padding). The content |
742 | and packet sizes include all headers. | |
3bf79539 MD |
743 | |
744 | An example event packet context type: | |
745 | ||
80fd2569 | 746 | struct event_packet_context { |
3bf79539 MD |
747 | uint64_t timestamp_begin; |
748 | uint64_t timestamp_end; | |
749 | uint32_t checksum; | |
750 | uint32_t stream_packet_count; | |
751 | uint32_t events_discarded; | |
752 | uint32_t cpu_id; | |
753 | uint32_t/uint16_t content_size; | |
754 | uint32_t/uint16_t packet_size; | |
755 | uint8_t stream_packet_count_bits; /* Significant counter bits */ | |
756 | uint8_t compression_scheme; | |
757 | uint8_t encryption_scheme; | |
3b0f8e4d | 758 | uint8_t checksum_scheme; |
3bf79539 | 759 | }; |
5ba9f198 | 760 | |
fcba70d4 | 761 | |
5ba9f198 MD |
762 | 6. Event Structure |
763 | ||
764 | The overall structure of an event is: | |
765 | ||
6672e9e1 MD |
766 | 1 - Stream Packet Context (as specified by the stream meta-data) |
767 | 2 - Event Header (as specified by the stream meta-data) | |
768 | 3 - Stream Event Context (as specified by the stream meta-data) | |
769 | 4 - Event Context (as specified by the event meta-data) | |
770 | 5 - Event Payload (as specified by the event meta-data) | |
5ba9f198 | 771 | |
fdf2bb05 | 772 | This structure defines an implicit dynamic scoping, where variants |
7d9d7e92 MD |
773 | located in inner structures (those with a higher number in the listing |
774 | above) can refer to the fields of outer structures (with lower number in | |
6c7226e9 | 775 | the listing above). See Section 7.3 TSDL Scopes for more detail. |
5ba9f198 | 776 | |
fdf2bb05 | 777 | 6.1 Event Header |
fcba70d4 | 778 | |
6672e9e1 | 779 | Event headers can be described within the meta-data. We hereby propose, as an |
fcba70d4 MD |
780 | example, two types of events headers. Type 1 accommodates streams with less than |
781 | 31 event IDs. Type 2 accommodates streams with 31 or more event IDs. | |
5ba9f198 | 782 | |
3bf79539 MD |
783 | One major factor can vary between streams: the number of event IDs assigned to |
784 | a stream. Luckily, this information tends to stay relatively constant (modulo | |
5ba9f198 | 785 | event registration while trace is being recorded), so we can specify different |
3bf79539 | 786 | representations for streams containing few event IDs and streams containing |
6672e9e1 MD |
787 | many event IDs, so we end up representing the event ID and time-stamp as |
788 | densely as possible in each case. | |
5ba9f198 | 789 | |
fcba70d4 MD |
790 | The header is extended in the rare occasions where the information cannot be |
791 | represented in the ranges available in the standard event header. They are also | |
3bf79539 MD |
792 | used in the rare occasions where the data required for a field could not be |
793 | collected: the flag corresponding to the missing field within the missing_fields | |
794 | array is then set to 1. | |
5ba9f198 | 795 | |
6672e9e1 MD |
796 | Types uintX_t represent an X-bit unsigned integer, as declared with |
797 | either: | |
5ba9f198 | 798 | |
6672e9e1 MD |
799 | typealias integer { size = X; align = X; signed = false } := uintX_t; |
800 | ||
801 | or | |
802 | ||
803 | typealias integer { size = X; align = 1; signed = false } := uintX_t; | |
5ba9f198 | 804 | |
fdf2bb05 | 805 | 6.1.1 Type 1 - Few event IDs |
5ba9f198 MD |
806 | |
807 | - Aligned on 32-bit (or 8-bit if byte-packed, depending on the architecture | |
808 | preference). | |
5ba9f198 | 809 | - Native architecture byte ordering. |
fcba70d4 MD |
810 | - For "compact" selection |
811 | - Fixed size: 32 bits. | |
812 | - For "extended" selection | |
813 | - Size depends on the architecture and variant alignment. | |
5ba9f198 | 814 | |
80fd2569 | 815 | struct event_header_1 { |
fcba70d4 MD |
816 | /* |

861 | 6.2 Event Context | |
862 | ||
6672e9e1 MD |
863 | The event context contains information relative to the current event. |
864 | The choice and meaning of this information is specified by the TSDL | |
865 | stream and event meta-data descriptions. The stream context is applied | |
866 | to all events within the stream. The stream context structure follows | |
867 | the event header. The event context is applied to specific events. Its | |
868 | structure follows the stream context structure. | |
5ba9f198 | 869 | |
fcba70d4 MD |
870 | An example of stream-level event context is to save the event payload size with |
871 | each event, or to save the current PID with each event. These are declared | |
6672e9e1 | 872 | within the stream declaration within the meta-data: |
5ba9f198 | 873 | |
fcba70d4 MD |
874 | stream { |
875 | ... | |
6672e9e1 | 876 | event.context := struct { |
80fd2569 MD |
877 | uint pid; |
878 | uint16_t payload_size; | |
6672e9e1 | 879 | }; |
fcba70d4 MD |
880 | }; |
881 | ||
882 | An example of event-specific event context is to declare a bitmap of missing | |
883 | fields, only appended after the stream event context if the extended event | |
884 | header is selected. NR_FIELDS is the number of fields within the event (a | |
885 | numeric value). | |
5ba9f198 | 886 | |
fcba70d4 MD |
887 | event { |
888 | context = struct { | |
889 | variant <id> { | |
890 | struct { } compact; | |
891 | struct { | |
892 | uint1_t missing_fields[NR_FIELDS]; /* missing event fields bitmap */ | |
893 | } extended; | |
894 | } v; | |
895 | }; | |
896 | ... | |
897 | } | |
5ba9f198 MD |
898 | |
899 | 6.3 Event Payload | |
900 | ||
901 | An event payload contains fields specific to a given event type. The fields | |
6672e9e1 | 902 | belonging to an event type are described in the event-specific meta-data |
5ba9f198 MD |
903 | within a structure type. |
904 | ||
905 | 6.3.1 Padding | |
906 | ||
907 | No padding at the end of the event payload. This differs from the ISO/C standard | |
908 | for structures, but follows the CTF standard for structures. In a trace, even | |
909 | though it makes sense to align the beginning of a structure, it really makes no | |
910 | sense to add padding at the end of the structure, because structures are usually | |
911 | not followed by a structure of the same type. | |
912 | ||
913 | This trick can be done by adding a zero-length "end" field at the end of the C | |
914 | structures, and by using the offset of this field rather than using sizeof() | |
3bf79539 | 915 | when calculating the size of a structure (see Appendix "A. Helper macros"). |
5ba9f198 MD |
916 | |
917 | 6.3.2 Alignment | |
918 | ||
919 | The event payload is aligned on the largest alignment required by types | |
920 | contained within the payload. (This follows the ISO/C standard for structures) | |
921 | ||
922 | ||
6c7226e9 MD |
923 | 7. Trace Stream Description Language (TSDL) |
924 | ||
925 | The Trace Stream Description Language (TSDL) allows expression of the | |
926 | binary trace streams layout in a C99-like Domain Specific Language | |
927 | (DSL). | |
928 | ||
929 | ||
6672e9e1 | 930 | 7.1 Meta-data |
6c7226e9 MD |
931 | |
932 | The trace stream layout description is located in the trace meta-data. | |
933 | The meta-data is itself located in a stream identified by its name: | |
934 | "metadata". | |
5ba9f198 | 935 | |
6672e9e1 MD |
936 | The meta-data description can be expressed in two different formats: |
937 | text-only and packet-based. The text-only description facilitates | |
938 | generation of meta-data and provides a convenient way to enter the | |
939 | meta-data information by hand. The packet-based meta-data provides the | |
940 | CTF stream packet facilities (checksumming, compression, encryption, | |
941 | network-readiness) for meta-data stream generated and transported by a | |
942 | tracer. | |
943 | ||
1b4d35eb MD |
944 | The text-only meta-data file is a plain-text TSDL description. This file |
945 | must begin with the following characters to identify the file as a CTF | |
9486a18c | 946 | TSDL text-based metadata file (without the double-quotes) : |
1b4d35eb | 947 | |
ec2b4db8 | 948 | "/* CTF" |
1b4d35eb | 949 | |
ec2b4db8 MD |
950 | It must be followed by a space, and the version of the specification |
951 | followed by the CTF trace, e.g.: | |
952 | ||
953 | " 1.8" | |
954 | ||
955 | These characters allow automated discovery of file type and CTF | |
956 | specification version. They are interpreted as a the beginning of a | |
957 | comment by the TSDL metadata parser. The comment can be continued to | |
958 | contain extra commented characters before it is closed. | |
6672e9e1 MD |
959 | |
960 | The packet-based meta-data is made of "meta-data packets", which each | |
961 | start with a meta-data packet header. The packet-based meta-data | |
962 | description is detected by reading the magic number "0x75D11D57" at the | |
963 | beginning of the file. This magic number is also used to detect the | |
964 | endianness of the architecture by trying to read the CTF magic number | |
965 | and its counterpart in reversed endianness. The events within the | |
966 | meta-data stream have no event header nor event context. Each event only | |
5ae2352d | 967 | contains a "sequence" payload, which is a sequence of bits using the |
ce2228da MD |
968 | "trace.packet.header.content_size" field as a placeholder for its length |
969 | (the packet header size should be substracted). The formatting of this | |
970 | sequence of bits is a plain-text representation of the TSDL description. | |
971 | Each meta-data packet start with a special packet header, specific to | |
972 | the meta-data stream, which contains, exactly: | |
6672e9e1 MD |
973 | |
974 | struct metadata_packet_header { | |
2daeaa3a | 975 | uint32_t magic; /* 0x75D11D57 */ |
3fde5da1 | 976 | uint8_t uuid[16]; /* Unique Universal Identifier */ |
6672e9e1 MD |
977 | uint32_t checksum; /* 0 if unused */ |
978 | uint32_t content_size; /* in bits */ | |
979 | uint32_t packet_size; /* in bits */ | |
980 | uint8_t compression_scheme; /* 0 if unused */ | |
981 | uint8_t encryption_scheme; /* 0 if unused */ | |
982 | uint8_t checksum_scheme; /* 0 if unused */ | |
ec2b4db8 MD |
983 | uint8_t major; /* CTF spec version major number */ |
984 | uint8_t minor; /* CTF spec version minor number */ | |
6672e9e1 MD |
985 | }; |
986 | ||
987 | The packet-based meta-data can be converted to a text-only meta-data by | |
988 | concatenating all the strings in contains. | |
4fafe1ad | 989 | |
6672e9e1 MD |
990 | In the textual representation of the meta-data, the text contained |
991 | within "/*" and "*/", as well as within "//" and end of line, are | |
992 | treated as comments. Boolean values can be represented as true, TRUE, | |
993 | or 1 for true, and false, FALSE, or 0 for false. Within the string-based | |
994 | meta-data description, the trace UUID is represented as a string of | |
995 | hexadecimal digits and dashes "-". In the event packet header, the trace | |
996 | UUID is represented as an array of bytes. | |

6c7226e9 | 999 | 7.2 Declaration vs Definition |
fdf2bb05 MD |
1000 | |
1001 | A declaration associates a layout to a type, without specifying where | |
1002 | this type is located in the event structure hierarchy (see Section 6). | |
1003 | This therefore includes typedef, typealias, as well as all type | |
1004 | specifiers. In certain circumstances (typedef, structure field and | |
1005 | variant field), a declaration is followed by a declarator, which specify | |
1006 | the newly defined type name (for typedef), or the field name (for | |
1007 | declarations located within structure and variants). Array and sequence, | |
1008 | declared with square brackets ("[" "]"), are part of the declarator, | |
a9b83695 | 1009 | similarly to C99. The enumeration base type is specified by |
6c7226e9 | 1010 | ": enum_base", which is part of the type specifier. The variant tag |
a9b83695 | 1011 | name, specified between "<" ">", is also part of the type specifier. |
fdf2bb05 MD |
1012 | |
1013 | A definition associates a type to a location in the event structure | |
b9606a77 MD |
1014 | hierarchy (see Section 6). This association is denoted by ":=", as shown |
1015 | in Section 7.3. | |
fdf2bb05 MD |
1016 | |
1017 | ||
6c7226e9 | 1018 | 7.3 TSDL Scopes |
fdf2bb05 | 1019 | |
37ab95c3 MD |
1020 | TSDL uses three different types of scoping: a lexical scope is used for |
1021 | declarations and type definitions, and static and dynamic scopes are | |
1022 | used for variants references to tag fields (with relative and absolute | |
1023 | path lookups) and for sequence references to length fields. | |
fdf2bb05 | 1024 | |
6c7226e9 | 1025 | 7.3.1 Lexical Scope |
fdf2bb05 | 1026 | |
d285084f MD |
1027 | Each of "trace", "stream", "event", "struct" and "variant" have their own |
1028 | nestable declaration scope, within which types can be declared using "typedef" | |
fdf2bb05 | 1029 | and "typealias". A root declaration scope also contains all declarations |
7d9d7e92 | 1030 | located outside of any of the aforementioned declarations. An inner |
fdf2bb05 | 1031 | declaration scope can refer to type declared within its container |
7d9d7e92 MD |
1032 | lexical scope prior to the inner declaration scope. Redefinition of a |
1033 | typedef or typealias is not valid, although hiding an upper scope | |
fdf2bb05 MD |
1034 | typedef or typealias is allowed within a sub-scope. |
1035 | ||
37ab95c3 | 1036 | 7.3.2 Static and Dynamic Scopes |
fdf2bb05 | 1037 | |
37ab95c3 MD |
1038 | A local static scope consists in the scope generated by the declaration |
1039 | of fields within a compound type. A static scope is a local static scope | |
1040 | augmented with the nested sub-static-scopes it contains. | |
1041 | ||
1042 | A dynamic scope consists in the static scope augmented with the | |
7d9d7e92 | 1043 | implicit event structure definition hierarchy presented at Section 6. |
fdf2bb05 | 1044 | |
37ab95c3 MD |
1045 | Multiple declarations of the same field name within a local static scope |
1046 | is not valid. It is however valid to re-use the same field name in | |
1047 | different local scopes. | |
1048 | ||
1049 | Nested static and dynamic scopes form lookup paths. These are used for | |
1050 | variant tag and sequence length references. They are used at the variant | |
1051 | and sequence definition site to look up the location of the tag field | |
1052 | associated with a variant, and to lookup up the location of the length | |
1053 | field associated with a sequence. | |
1054 | ||
1055 | Variants and sequences can refer to a tag field either using a relative | |
4cac83ee MD |
1056 | path or an absolute path. The relative path is relative to the scope in |
1057 | which the variant or sequence performing the lookup is located. | |
37ab95c3 MD |
1058 | Relative paths are only allowed to lookup within the same static scope, |
1059 | which includes its nested static scopes. Lookups targeting parent static | |
1060 | scopes need to be performed with an absolute path. | |
1061 | ||
1062 | Absolute path lookups use the full path including the dynamic scope | |
1063 | followed by a "." and then the static scope. Therefore, variants (or | |
1064 | sequences) in lower levels in the dynamic scope (e.g. event context) can | |
1065 | refer to a tag (or length) field located in upper levels (e.g. in the | |
1066 | event header) by specifying, in this case, the associated tag with | |
1067 | <stream.event.header.field_name>. This allows, for instance, the event | |
1068 | context to define a variant referring to the "id" field of the event | |
1069 | header as selector. | |
1070 | ||
284724ae | 1071 | The dynamic scope prefixes are thus: |
fdf2bb05 | 1072 | |
e0d9e2c7 | 1073 | - Trace Packet Header: <trace.packet.header. >, |
7d9d7e92 MD |
1074 | - Stream Packet Context: <stream.packet.context. >, |
1075 | - Event Header: <stream.event.header. >, | |
1076 | - Stream Event Context: <stream.event.context. >, | |
1077 | - Event Context: <event.context. >, | |
1078 | - Event Payload: <event.fields. >. | |
fdf2bb05 | 1079 | |
37ab95c3 MD |
1080 | |
1081 | The target dynamic scope must be specified explicitly when referring to | |
4cac83ee MD |
1082 | a field outside of the static scope (absolute scope reference). No |
1083 | conflict can occur between relative and dynamic paths, because the | |
1084 | keywords "trace", "stream", and "event" are reserved, and thus | |
1085 | not permitted as field names. It is recommended that field names | |
1086 | clashing with CTF and C99 reserved keywords use an underscore prefix to | |
1087 | eliminate the risk of generating a description containing an invalid | |
1088 | field name. | |
fdf2bb05 | 1089 | |
457d8b0a MD |
1090 | The information available in the dynamic scopes can be thought of as the |
1091 | current tracing context. At trace production, information about the | |
1092 | current context is saved into the specified scope field levels. At trace | |
1093 | consumption, for each event, the current trace context is therefore | |
1094 | readable by accessing the upper dynamic scopes. | |
1095 | ||

3bf79539 | 1248 | A. Helper macros |
5ba9f198 MD |
1249 | |
1250 | The two following macros keep track of the size of a GNU/C structure without | |
1251 | padding at the end by placing HEADER_END as the last field. A one byte end field | |
1252 | is used for C90 compatibility (C99 flexible arrays could be used here). Note | |
1253 | that this does not affect the effective structure size, which should always be | |
1254 | calculated with the header_sizeof() helper. | |
1255 | ||
1256 | #define HEADER_END char end_field | |
1257 | #define header_sizeof(type) offsetof(typeof(type), end_field) | |
3bf79539 MD |
1258 | |
1259 | ||
1260 | B. Stream Header Rationale | |
1261 | ||
1262 | An event stream is divided in contiguous event packets of variable size. These | |
1263 | subdivisions allow the trace analyzer to perform a fast binary search by time | |
1264 | within the stream (typically requiring to index only the event packet headers) | |
1265 | without reading the whole stream. These subdivisions have a variable size to | |
1266 | eliminate the need to transfer the event packet padding when partially filled | |
1267 | event packets must be sent when streaming a trace for live viewing/analysis. | |
1268 | An event packet can contain a certain amount of padding at the end. Dividing | |
1269 | streams into event packets is also useful for network streaming over UDP and | |
1270 | flight recorder mode tracing (a whole event packet can be swapped out of the | |
1271 | buffer atomically for reading). | |
1272 | ||
1273 | The stream header is repeated at the beginning of each event packet to allow | |
1274 | flexibility in terms of: | |
1275 | ||
1276 | - streaming support, | |
1277 | - allowing arbitrary buffers to be discarded without making the trace | |
1278 | unreadable, | |
1279 | - allow UDP packet loss handling by either dealing with missing event packet | |
1280 | or asking for re-transmission. | |
1281 | - transparently support flight recorder mode, | |
1282 | - transparently support crash dump. | |
