NAME         top

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

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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         top

       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         top

       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.

           ...
           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 */
                   }
