26 This set of functions can be used to extract common fields from a
27 record.
28 The tep_data_type() function gets the event id from the record rec. It
30 reads the "common_type" field. The tep argument is the trace event
31 parser context.
32 The tep_data_pid() function gets the process id from the record rec. It
34 reads the "common_pid" field. The tep argument is the trace event
35 parser context.
36 The tep_data_preempt_count() function gets the preemption count from
38 the record rec. It reads the "common_preempt_count" field. The tep
39 argument is the trace event parser context.
40 The tep_data_flags() function gets the latency flags from the record
42 rec. It reads the "common_flags" field. The tep argument is the trace
43 event parser context. Supported latency flags are:
44 TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_OFF, Interrupts are disabled.
46 TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT, Reading IRQ flag is not supported by the architecture.
47 TRACE_FLAG_NEED_RESCHED, Task needs rescheduling.
48 TRACE_FLAG_HARDIRQ, Hard IRQ is running.
49 TRACE_FLAG_SOFTIRQ, Soft IRQ is running.
50
52 The tep_data_type() function returns an integer, representing the event
53 id.
54 The tep_data_pid() function returns an integer, representing the
56 process id
57 The tep_data_preempt_count() function returns an integer, representing
59 the preemption count.
60 The tep_data_flags() function returns an integer, representing the
62 latency flags. Look at the trace_flag_type enum for supported flags.
63 All these functions in case of an error return a negative integer.
