tracing: Update Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt

2017-07-11T22:44:54+00:00

The documentation of ftrace.txt has become rather outdated. Bring it closer to reality of todays kernel. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

sched/loadavg: Generalize "_idle" naming to "_nohz"

2017-06-22T09:30:01+00:00

The loadavg naming code still assumes that nohz == idle whereas its code is actually handling well both nohz idle and nohz full. So lets fix the naming according to what the code actually does, to unconfuse the reader.

tracing: Add new trace_marker_raw

2016-11-15T20:13:59+00:00

A new file is created: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker_raw This allows for appications to create data structures and write the binary data directly into it, and then read the trace data out from trace_pipe_raw into the same type of data structure. This saves on converting numbers into ASCII that would be required by trace_marker. Suggested-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Support full glob matching

2016-11-14T21:42:58+00:00

Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?) and character classes ([) for ftrace. Since the full glob matching is slower than the current partial matching routines(*pat, pat*, *pat*), this leaves those routines and just add MATCH_GLOB for complex glob expression. e.g. ---- [root@localhost tracing]# echo 'sched*group' > set_ftrace_filter [root@localhost tracing]# cat set_ftrace_filter sched_free_group sched_change_group sched_create_group sched_online_group sched_destroy_group sched_offline_group [root@localhost tracing]# echo '[Ss]y[Ss]_*' > set_ftrace_filter [root@localhost tracing]# head set_ftrace_filter sys_arch_prctl sys_rt_sigreturn sys_ioperm SyS_iopl sys_modify_ldt SyS_mmap SyS_set_thread_area SyS_get_thread_area SyS_set_tid_address sys_fork ---- Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147566869501.29136.6462645009894738056.stgit@devbox Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Access ret_stack->subtime only in the function profiler

2016-09-01T16:19:40+00:00

The subtime is used only for function profiler with function graph tracer enabled. Move the definition of subtime under CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER to reduce the memory usage. Also move the initialization of subtime into the graph entry callback.
