The new OutputInitResult is a struct return type that allows
logger init functions to return a NULL context without
raising error.
Instead of returning NULL to signal error, the "ok" field will
be set to false. If ok, but the ctx is NULL, then silently
move on to the next logger.
Use case: multiple versions of a specific logger, and one
implementation decides the configuration is not for that
implemenation. It can return NULL, ok.
As the logging modules are no longer threading modules, rename
them so they don't look like they are being registered as
threading modules.
Also, move the registration to the output.c which will handle
registration of the loggers.
Per packet profiling uses tick based accounting. It has 2 outputs, a summary
and a csv file that contains per packet stats.
Stats per packet include:
1) total ticks spent
2) ticks spent per individual thread module
3) "threading overhead" which is simply calculated by subtracting (2) of (1).
A number of changes were made to integrate the new code in a clean way:
a number of generic enums are now placed in tm-threads-common.h so we can
include them from any part of the engine.
Code depends on --enable-profiling just like the rule profiling code.
New yaml parameters:
profiling:
# packet profiling
packets:
# Profiling can be disabled here, but it will still have a
# performance impact if compiled in.
enabled: yes
filename: packet_stats.log
append: yes
# per packet csv output
csv:
# Output can be disabled here, but it will still have a
# performance impact if compiled in.
enabled: no
filename: packet_stats.csv
