NAME

       tep_data_type, tep_data_pid, tep_data_preempt_count, tep_data_flags - Extract common
       fields from a record.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <event-parse.h>

       enum trace_flag_type {
               TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_OFF,
               TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT,
               TRACE_FLAG_NEED_RESCHED,
               TRACE_FLAG_HARDIRQ,
               TRACE_FLAG_SOFTIRQ,
       };

       int tep_data_type(struct tep_handle *tep, struct tep_record *rec);
       int tep_data_pid(struct tep_handle *tep, struct tep_record *rec);
       int tep_data_preempt_count(struct tep_handle *tep, struct tep_record *rec);
       int tep_data_flags(struct tep_handle *tep, struct tep_record *rec);

DESCRIPTION

       This set of functions can be used to extract common fields from a record.

       The tep_data_type() function gets the event id from the record rec. It reads the
       "common_type" field. The tep argument is the trace event parser context.

       The tep_data_pid() function gets the process id from the record rec. It reads the
       "common_pid" field. The tep argument is the trace event parser context.

       The tep_data_preempt_count() function gets the preemption count from the record rec. It
       reads the "common_preempt_count" field. The tep argument is the trace event parser
       context.

       The tep_data_flags() function gets the latency flags from the record rec. It reads the
       "common_flags" field. The tep argument is the trace event parser context. Supported
       latency flags are:

                   TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_OFF,          Interrupts are disabled.
                   TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT,    Reading IRQ flag is not supported by the architecture.
                   TRACE_FLAG_NEED_RESCHED,      Task needs rescheduling.
                   TRACE_FLAG_HARDIRQ,           Hard IRQ is running.
                   TRACE_FLAG_SOFTIRQ,           Soft IRQ is running.

RETURN VALUE

       The tep_data_type() function returns an integer, representing the event id.

       The tep_data_pid() function returns an integer, representing the process id

       The tep_data_preempt_count() function returns an integer, representing the preemption
       count.

       The tep_data_flags() function returns an integer, representing the latency flags. Look at
       the trace_flag_type enum for supported flags.

       All these functions in case of an error return a negative integer.

EXAMPLE

           #include <event-parse.h>
           ...
           struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
           ...
           void process_record(struct tep_record *record)
           {
                   int data;

                   data = tep_data_type(tep, record);
                   if (data >= 0) {
                           /* Got the ID of the event */
                   }

                   data = tep_data_pid(tep, record);
                   if (data >= 0) {
                           /* Got the process ID */
                   }

                   data = tep_data_preempt_count(tep, record);
                   if (data >= 0) {
                           /* Got the preemption count */
                   }

                   data = tep_data_flags(tep, record);
                   if (data >= 0) {
                           /* Got the latency flags */
                   }
           }
           ...
