Tom Zanussi 2160d6c8a1 tools lib traceevent: Add proper KBUFFER_TYPE_TIME_STAMP handling
Kernel commit dc4e2801d4 (ring-buffer: Redefine the unimplemented
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP) changed the way the ring buffer timestamps work
- after that commit the previously unimplemented RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP
type causes the time delta to be used as a timestamp rather than a delta
to be added to the timestamp.

The trace-cmd code didn't get updated to handle this, so misinterprets
the event data for this case, which causes a cascade of errors,
including trace-report not being able to identify synthetic (or any
other) events generated by the histogram code (which uses TIME_STAMP
mode).  For example, the following triggers along with the trace-cmd
shown cause an UNKNOWN_EVENT error and trace-cmd report crash:

  # echo 'wakeup_latency  u64 lat pid_t pid char comm[16]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs if comm=="ping"' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup).trace(wakeup_latency,$wakeup_lat,next_pid,next_comm) if next_comm=="ping"' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=comm,pid,lat:wakeup_lat=lat:sort=lat' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/trigger

  # trace-cmd record -e wakeup_latency -e sched_wakeup -f comm==\"ping\" ping localhost -c 5

  # trace-cmd report
  CPU 0 is empty
  CPU 1 is empty
  CPU 2 is empty
  CPU 3 is empty
  CPU 5 is empty
  CPU 6 is empty
  CPU 7 is empty
  cpus=8
    ug! no event found for type 0
  [UNKNOWN TYPE 0]
    ug! no event found for type 11520
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After this patch we get the correct interpretation and the events are
shown properly:

  # trace-cmd report
  CPU 0 is empty
  CPU 1 is empty
  CPU 2 is empty
  CPU 3 is empty
  CPU 5 is empty
  CPU 6 is empty

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
