bc0c38d139
This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch
does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will
be used by later patches.
If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files
to the debugfs:
The root tracing directory:
/debugfs/tracing/
This patch also adds the following files:
available_tracers
list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are
available. Looking into this file only shows
"none" which is used to unregister all tracers.
current_tracer
The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up.
To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that
are listed in available_tracers:
example: (used with later patches)
echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
To disable the tracer:
echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
tracing_enabled
echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing
(if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1)
echoing "0" turns it off.
latency_trace
This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace.
trace
This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace.
iter_ctrl
Controls the way the output of traces look.
So far there's two controls:
echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables
without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured)
echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show
a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by
humans.
echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly.
echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.
