This commit enables dumping the statistics of a broadcast-receiver link
like the traditional 'broadcast-link' one (which is for broadcast-
sender). The link dumping can be triggered via netlink (e.g. the
iproute2/tipc tool) by the link flag - 'TIPC_NLA_LINK_BROADCAST' as the
indicator.
The name of a broadcast-receiver link of a specific peer will be in the
format: 'broadcast-link:<peer-id>'.
For example:
Link <broadcast-link:1001002>
Window:50 packets
RX packets:7841 fragments:2408/440 bundles:0/0
TX packets:0 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0
RX naks:0 defs:124 dups:0
TX naks:21 acks:0 retrans:0
Congestion link:0 Send queue max:0 avg:0
In addition, the broadcast-receiver link statistics can be reset in the
usual way via netlink by specifying that link name in command.
Note: the 'tipc_link_name_ext()' is removed because the link name can
now be retrieved simply via the 'l->name'.

In the previous commit ("tipc: add Gap ACK blocks support for broadcast
link"), we have removed the following link trace events due to the code
changes:
- tipc_link_bc_ack
- tipc_link_retrans
This commit adds them back along with some minor changes to adapt to
the new code.

The commit adds the new trace_event for TIPC bearer, L2 device event:
trace_tipc_l2_device_event()
Also, it puts the trace at the tipc_l2_device_event() function, then
the device/bearer events and related info can be traced out during
runtime when needed.

The commit adds the new trace_events for TIPC socket object:
trace_tipc_sk_create()
trace_tipc_sk_poll()
trace_tipc_sk_sendmsg()
trace_tipc_sk_sendmcast()
trace_tipc_sk_sendstream()
trace_tipc_sk_filter_rcv()
trace_tipc_sk_advance_rx()
trace_tipc_sk_rej_msg()
trace_tipc_sk_drop_msg()
trace_tipc_sk_release()
trace_tipc_sk_shutdown()
trace_tipc_sk_overlimit1()
trace_tipc_sk_overlimit2()
Also, enables the traces for the following cases:
- When user creates a TIPC socket;
- When user calls poll() on TIPC socket;
- When user sends a dgram/mcast/stream message.
- When a message is put into the socket 'sk_receive_queue';
- When a message is released from the socket 'sk_receive_queue';
- When a message is rejected (e.g. due to no port, invalid, etc.);
- When a message is dropped (e.g. due to wrong message type);
- When socket is released;
- When socket is shutdown;
- When socket rcvq's allocation is overlimit (> 90%);
- When socket rcvq + bklq's allocation is overlimit (> 90%);
- When the 'TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD/2' issue happens;
Note:
a) All the socket traces are designed to be able to trace on a specific
socket by either using the 'event filtering' feature on a known socket
'portid' value or the sysctl file:
/proc/sys/net/tipc/sk_filter
The file determines a 'tuple' for what socket should be traced:
(portid, sock type, name type, name lower, name upper)
where:
+ 'portid' is the socket portid generated at socket creating, can be
found in the trace outputs or the 'tipc socket list' command printouts;
+ 'sock type' is the socket type (1 = SOCK_TREAM, ...);
+ 'name type', 'name lower' and 'name upper' are the service name being
connected to or published by the socket.
Value '0' means 'ANY', the default tuple value is (0, 0, 0, 0, 0) i.e.
the traces happen for every sockets with no filter.
b) The 'tipc_sk_overlimit1/2' event is also a conditional trace_event
which happens when the socket receive queue (and backlog queue) is
about to be overloaded, when the queue allocation is > 90%. Then, when
the trace is enabled, the last skbs leading to the TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD/2
issue can be traced.
The trace event is designed as an 'upper watermark' notification that
the other traces (e.g. 'tipc_sk_advance_rx' vs 'tipc_sk_filter_rcv') or
actions can be triggerred in the meanwhile to see what is going on with
the socket queue.
In addition, the 'trace_tipc_sk_dump()' is also placed at the
'TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD/2' case, so the socket and last skb can be dumped
for post-analysis.

The commit adds the new trace_events for TIPC link object:
trace_tipc_link_timeout()
trace_tipc_link_fsm()
trace_tipc_link_reset()
trace_tipc_link_too_silent()
trace_tipc_link_retrans()
trace_tipc_link_bc_ack()
trace_tipc_link_conges()
And the traces for PROTOCOL messages at building and receiving:
trace_tipc_proto_build()
trace_tipc_proto_rcv()
Note:
a) The 'tipc_link_too_silent' event will only happen when the
'silent_intv_cnt' is about to reach the 'abort_limit' value (and the
event is enabled). The benefit for this kind of event is that we can
get an early indication about TIPC link loss issue due to timeout, then
can do some necessary actions for troubleshooting.
For example: To trigger the 'tipc_proto_rcv' when the 'too_silent'
event occurs:
echo 'enable_event:tipc:tipc_proto_rcv' > \
events/tipc/tipc_link_too_silent/trigger
And disable it when TIPC link is reset:
echo 'disable_event:tipc:tipc_proto_rcv' > \
events/tipc/tipc_link_reset/trigger
b) The 'tipc_link_retrans' or 'tipc_link_bc_ack' event is useful to
trace TIPC retransmission issues.
In addition, the commit adds the 'trace_tipc_list/link_dump()' at the
'retransmission failure' case. Then, if the issue occurs, the link
'transmq' along with the link data can be dumped for post-analysis.
These dump events should be enabled by default since it will only take
effect when the failure happens.
The same approach is also applied for the faulty case that the
validation of protocol message is failed.

As for the sake of debugging/tracing, the commit enables tracepoints in
TIPC along with some general trace_events as shown below. It also
defines some 'tipc_*_dump()' functions that allow to dump TIPC object
data whenever needed, that is, for general debug purposes, ie. not just
for the trace_events.
The following trace_events are now available:
- trace_tipc_skb_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC msg & skb data,
e.g. message type, user, droppable, skb truesize, cloned skb, etc.
- trace_tipc_list_dump(): allows to trace and dump any TIPC buffers or
queues, e.g. TIPC link transmq, socket receive queue, etc.
- trace_tipc_sk_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC socket data, e.g.
sk state, sk type, connection type, rmem_alloc, socket queues, etc.
- trace_tipc_link_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC link data, e.g.
link state, silent_intv_cnt, gap, bc_gap, link queues, etc.
- trace_tipc_node_dump(): allows to trace and dump TIPC node data, e.g.
node state, active links, capabilities, link entries, etc.
How to use:
Put the trace functions at any places where we want to dump TIPC data
or events.
Note:
a) The dump functions will generate raw data only, that is, to offload
the trace event's processing, it can require a tool or script to parse
the data but this should be simple.
b) The trace_tipc_*_dump() should be reserved for a failure cases only
(e.g. the retransmission failure case) or where we do not expect to
happen too often, then we can consider enabling these events by default
since they will almost not take any effects under normal conditions,
but once the rare condition or failure occurs, we get the dumped data
fully for post-analysis.
For other trace purposes, we can reuse these trace classes as template
but different events.
c) A trace_event is only effective when we enable it. To enable the
TIPC trace_events, echo 1 to 'enable' files in the events/tipc/
directory in the 'debugfs' file system. Normally, they are located at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/
For example:
To enable the tipc_link_dump event:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/tipc_link_dump/enable
To enable all the TIPC trace_events:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/enable
To collect the trace data:
cat trace
or
cat trace_pipe > /trace.out &
To disable all the TIPC trace_events:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tipc/enable
To clear the trace buffer:
echo > trace
d) Like the other trace_events, the feature like 'filter' or 'trigger'
is also usable for the tipc trace_events.
