Jane Lusby b4fe517a16 trace-core: add a function to rebuild cached interest (#1039)
## Motivation

Currently, `tokio-trace-core` permits `Subscriber`s to indicate that
they are "always", "sometimes", or "never" interested in a particular
callsite. When "always" or "never" is returned, then the interest is
cached and the subscriber will not be asked again about that callsite.
This is much more efficient than requiring the filter to be re-evaluated
every time the callsite is hit.

However, if a subscriber wishes to change its filter configuration
dynamically at runtime, it cannot benefit from this caching. Instead, it
must always return `Interest::sometimes`.  Even when filters change very
infrequently, they must still always be re-evaluated every time.

In order to support a use-case where subscribers may change their filter
configuration at runtime (e.g. tokio-rs/tokio-trace-nursery#42),
but do so infrequently, we should introducing a new function to
invalidate the cached interest.

## Solution

This branch adds a new function in the `callsite` module, called
`rebuild_interest_cache`, that will invalidate and rebuild all cached
interest.

## Breaking Change

In order to fix a race condition that could occur when rebuilding
interest caches using `clear_interest` and `add_interest`, these methods
have been replaced by a new `set_interest` method. `set_interest` should
have the semantics of atomically replacing the previous cached interest,
so that the callsite does not enter a temporary state where it has no
interest.

Closes #1038

tokio-trace-core

Core primitives for tokio-trace.

Documentation

Overview

tokio-trace is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate defines the core primitives of tokio-trace.

The crate provides:

  • Span identifies a span within the execution of a program.

  • Event represents a single event within a trace.

  • Subscriber, the trait implemented to collect trace data.

  • Metadata and Callsite provide information describing Spans.

  • Field, FieldSet, Value, and ValueSet represent the structured data attached to a Span.

  • Dispatch allows span events to be dispatched to Subscribers.

In addition, it defines the global callsite registry and per-thread current dispatcher which other components of the tracing system rely on.

Application authors will typically not use this crate directly. Instead, they will use the tokio-trace crate, which provides a much more fully-featured API. However, this crate's API will change very infrequently, so it may be used when dependencies must be very stable.
