Subject: [PATCH] Remove support for the Common Trace Format (CTF)
Date: Sat,  9 May 2026 22:28:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510022813.2221582-1-sergiodj@sergiodj.net> (raw)

Hi there,

The Debian maintainer of babeltrace (Michael, in CC) is working
towards removing the version 1 package from the archive in favour of
version 2.  This makes sense as version 1 is unsupported and projects
should move to version 2.

While digging through the archives I found PR buid/27142 (from
Matthias, also in Cc) which was filed 5 years ago requesting GDB to
support babeltrace v2.  At the time Simon started a thread on gdb@
suggesting that we should actually remove the support for CTF (Common
Trace Format) altogether, since it's a niche feature (CTF) within a
niche feature (tracepoints) and apparently GDB itself records CTF data
in an unconventional way that might break other tools.  You can see
the thread here:

  https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb/3fb1fbb6-836a-0e39-73a9-ef721630da88@polymtl.ca/

Long story short, the consensus seems to be that CTF support is ripe
to be removed, so that's what this patch does.  I think I covered all
places that referred to either CTF or babeltrace; I recompiled GDB
here and things are still working as expected.  I ran the tests I
touched and there are some failures, but they're unrelated to CTF and
I could reproduce them in a pristine tree as well.

I've been a bit distant from the community so I don't know whether we
have a specific procedure to remove features from GDB.  I remember
that when we removed support for an architecture, we used to deprecate
it in release N and then proceed with the removal on release N+1.  Not
sure if this is applicable here, but let me know.

Either way, I intend to disable support for babeltrace on Debian's GDB
soon.

WDYT?

-/* GDB saves trace buffers and other information (such as trace
-   status) got from the remote target into Common Trace Format (CTF).
-   The following types of information are expected to save in CTF:
-
-   1. The length (in bytes) of register cache.  Event "register" will
-   be defined in metadata, which includes the length.
-
-   2. Trace status.  Event "status" is defined in metadata, which
-   includes all aspects of trace status.
-
-   3. Uploaded trace variables.  Event "tsv_def" is defined in
-   metadata, which is about all aspects of a uploaded trace variable.
-   Uploaded tracepoints.   Event "tp_def" is defined in meta, which
-   is about all aspects of an uploaded tracepoint.  Note that the
-   "sequence" (a CTF type, which is a dynamically-sized array.) is
-   used for "actions" "step_actions" and "cmd_strings".
-
-   4. Trace frames.  Each trace frame is composed by several blocks
-   of different types ('R', 'M', 'V').  One trace frame is saved in
-   one CTF packet and the blocks of this frame are saved as events.
-   4.1: The trace frame related information (such as the number of
-   tracepoint associated with this frame) is saved in the packet
-   context.
-   4.2: The block 'M', 'R' and 'V' are saved in event "memory",
-   "register" and "tsv" respectively.
-   4.3: When iterating over events, babeltrace can't tell iterator
-   goes to a new packet, so we need a marker or anchor to tell GDB
-   that iterator goes into a new packet or frame.  We define event
-   "frame".  */
