An important part of a production ready Linux kernel driver is tracepoints. So to write production ready Linux kernel drivers in Rust, we must be able to call tracepoints from Rust code. This patch series adds support for calling tracepoints declared in C from Rust. To use the tracepoint support, you must: 1. Declare the tracepoint in a C header file as usual. 2. Add #define CREATE_RUST_TRACE_POINTS next to your #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS. 2. Make sure that the header file is visible to bindgen. 3. Use the declare_trace! macro in your Rust code to generate Rust functions that call into the tracepoint. For example, the kernel has a tracepoint called `sched_kthread_stop`. It is declared like this: TRACE_EVENT(sched_kthread_stop, TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *t), TP_ARGS(t), TP_STRUCT__entry( __array( char, comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, pid ) ), TP_fast_assign( memcpy(__entry->comm, t->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->pid = t->pid; ), TP_printk("comm=%s pid=%d", __entry->comm, __entry->pid) ); To call the above tracepoint from Rust code, you must first ensure that the Rust helper for the tracepoint is generated. To do this, you would modify kernel/sched/core.c by adding #define CREATE_RUST_TRACE_POINTS. Next, you would include include/trace/events/sched.h in rust/bindings/bindings_helper.h so that the exported C functions are visible to Rust, and then you would declare the tracepoint in Rust: declare_trace! { fn sched_kthread_stop(task: *mut task_struct); } This will define an inline Rust function that checks the static key, calling into rust_do_trace_##name if the tracepoint is active. Since these tracepoints often take raw pointers as arguments, it may be convenient to wrap it in a safe wrapper: mod raw { declare_trace! { fn sched_kthread_stop(task: *mut task_struct); } } #[inline] pub fn trace_sched_kthread_stop(task: &Task) { // SAFETY: The pointer to `task` is valid. unsafe { raw::sched_kthread_stop(task.as_raw()) } } A future expansion of the tracepoint support could generate these safe versions automatically, but that is left as future work for now. This is intended for use in the Rust Binder driver, which was originally sent as an RFC [1]. The RFC did not include tracepoint support, but you can see how it will be used in Rust Binder at [2]. The author has verified that the tracepoint support works on Android devices. This implementation implements support for static keys in Rust so that the actual static branch happens in the Rust object file. However, the __DO_TRACE body remains in C code. See v1 for an implementation where __DO_TRACE is also implemented in Rust.
