 This makes openvswitch module use the event tracing framework 
 to log the upcall interface and action execution pipeline. When 
 using openvswitch as the packet forwarding engine, some types of 
 debugging are made possible simply by using the ovs-vswitchd's 
 ofproto/trace command. However, such a command has some 
 limitations:

 1. When trying to trace packets that go through the CT action, 
 the state of the packet can't be determined, and probably 
 would be potentially wrong.

 2. Deducing problem packets can sometimes be difficult as well 
 even if many of the flows are known

 3. It's possible to use the openvswitch module even without 
 the ovs-vswitchd (although, not common use).

 Introduce the event tracing points here to make it possible for 
 working through these problems in kernel space. The style is 
 copied from the mac80211 driver-trace / trace code for 
 consistency.

Thanks for doing this Aaron, it will definitely help when trying to debug some customer issues.
Thanks for the review!
Just to be sure, I did some tests to make sure these changes do not impact performance, and it looks fine! See some
small nits/comments below, but other than that I would say please re-send as an official patch.

Cheers,

Eelco

Rather than work around the const here, can we not fix this in the trace include?

I guess the naming of the events can be a long debate :) But I think just adding the word “probe” doesn’t help much.

Maybe for just for function entry/exit, we could do something like <subsys>_<function_name>_entry/exit. I’ve seen
this used in other components. For example:

openvswitch_probe_userspace -> openvswitch_ovs_dp_upcall_entry

For none entry/exit trace macros, we could either use a specific name, as we have:

openvswitch_probe_action -> openvswitch_execute_action

Or maybe even prepended by the function name to easily locate it. For example:

openvswitch_probe_action -> openvswitch_do_execute_actions__execute_action

I like the double underscore to differentiate, so it might even be nice for the __entry, so
openvswitch_ovs_dp_upcall__entry.

Maybe we should also change openvswitch to ovs for both system and events? Or is this too short and might cause
confusion?
I agree that we can make these more descriptive, and that 'probe'
doesn't add much.  OTOH, if I use
"openvswitch_do_execute_actions__execute_action" or the corresponding
upcall trace point name, the line lengths balloon.  I don't see that
it's as useful to say both 'do_execute_actions' and '__execute_action' -
I don't think there will ever be a reason to add an additional
tracepoint here since the bulk of processing happens during the action
loop.  But maybe something like:

  'openvswitch_execute_action'

and

  'openvswitch_dp_upcall'

?

Just want to get this part right.

I guess %p will be good enough here, as I see no other trace modules use %px. But I guess, for some of the values
%*ph might be useful, as it will dump the bytes, i.e., action_data.
The issue with using %*ph for action_data is in the cases where a
netlink attribute doesn't have data.  In that case, we don't have any
bytes to print, and I think the behavior would be undefined (see
ct_clear action, or pop_eth action, etc).
