Sven Eckelmann d331a73994 batman-adv: Provide debug messages as trace events
A private debug logging infrastructure is currently provided via
$debug_fs/batman_adv/*/log when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is enabled. This is
not well integrated in the rest of the tracing infrastructure of the
kernel.

Other components (like mac80211 or ath10k) allow to gather the debug
messages using generic trace events which are better integrated. This makes
it possible to interact with them using the existing userspace tools.

The tracepoint batadv:batadv_dbg will now be available when
CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG and CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_TRACING is activated. The log
level mask is still used for filtering as usual.

A full system trace for offline parsing can be created (and read) using:

  $ batctl ll all
  $ trace-cmd record -e batadv:batadv_dbg
  $ trace-cmd report

The same can also be done without recording to a file

  $ batctl ll all
  $ trace-cmd stream -e batadv:batadv_dbg

The trace infrastructure is especially helpful when tracing processes:

  $ batctl ll all
  $ ./tools/perf/perf trace --event "batadv:*" batctl p 10.204.32.1

config BATMAN_ADV
tristate "B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced Meshing Protocol"
depends on NET
select CRC16
select LIBCRC32C
help
B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is
a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The
networks may be wired or wireless. See
https://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space
tools.
config BATMAN_ADV_BATMAN_V
bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol"
depends on BATMAN_ADV && !(CFG80211=m && BATMAN_ADV=y)
default y
help
This option enables the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol, the successor
of the currently used B.A.T.M.A.N. IV protocol. The main
changes include splitting of the OGM protocol into a neighbor
discovery protocol (Echo Location Protocol, ELP) and a new OGM
Protocol OGMv2 for flooding protocol information through the
network, as well as a throughput based metric.
B.A.T.M.A.N. V is currently considered experimental and not
compatible to B.A.T.M.A.N. IV networks.
config BATMAN_ADV_BLA
bool "Bridge Loop Avoidance"
depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
default y
help
This option enables BLA (Bridge Loop Avoidance), a mechanism
to avoid Ethernet frames looping when mesh nodes are connected
to both the same LAN and the same mesh. If you will never use
more than one mesh node in the same LAN, you can safely remove
this feature and save some space.
config BATMAN_ADV_DAT
bool "Distributed ARP Table"
depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET
default y
help
This option enables DAT (Distributed ARP Table), a DHT based
mechanism that increases ARP reliability on sparse wireless
mesh networks. If you think that your network does not need
this option you can safely remove it and save some space.
config BATMAN_ADV_NC
bool "Network Coding"
depends on BATMAN_ADV
help
This option enables network coding, a mechanism that aims to
increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple
packets in one transmission.
Note that interfaces controlled by batman-adv must be manually
configured to have promiscuous mode enabled in order to make
network coding work.
If you think that your network does not need this feature you
can safely disable it and save some space.
config BATMAN_ADV_MCAST
bool "Multicast optimisation"
depends on BATMAN_ADV && INET && !(BRIDGE=m && BATMAN_ADV=y)
help
This option enables the multicast optimisation which aims to
reduce the air overhead while improving the reliability of
multicast messages.
config BATMAN_ADV_DEBUGFS
bool "batman-adv debugfs entries"
depends on BATMAN_ADV
depends on DEBUG_FS
help
Enable this to export routing related debug tables via debugfs.
The information for each soft-interface and used hard-interface can be
found under batman_adv/
If unsure, say N.
config BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG
bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging"
depends on BATMAN_ADV_DEBUGFS
help
This is an option for use by developers; most people should
say N here. This enables compilation of support for
outputting debugging information to the kernel log. The
output is controlled via the module parameter debug.
config BATMAN_ADV_TRACING
bool "B.A.T.M.A.N. tracing support"
depends on BATMAN_ADV
depends on EVENT_TRACING
help
This is an option for use by developers; most people should
say N here. Select this option to gather traces like the debug
messages using the generic tracing infrastructure of the kernel.
BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG must also be selected to get trace events for
batadv_dbg.
