Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: ensure trace buffer is at least 4096 bytes large
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2022 14:44:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220214134456.1751749-1-svens@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Booting the kernel with 'trace_buf_size=1' give a warning at
boot during the ftrace selftests:
[ 0.892809] Running postponed tracer tests:
[ 0.892893] Testing tracer function:
[ 0.901899] Callback from call_rcu_tasks_trace() invoked.
[ 0.983829] Callback from call_rcu_tasks_rude() invoked.
[ 1.072003] .. bad ring buffer .. corrupted trace buffer ..
[ 1.091944] Callback from call_rcu_tasks() invoked.
[ 1.097695] PASSED
[ 1.097701] Testing dynamic ftrace: .. filter failed count=0 ..FAILED!
[ 1.353474] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 1.353478] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/trace/trace.c:1951 run_tracer_selftest+0x13c/0x1b0
Therefore enforce a minimum of 4096 bytes to make the selftest pass.
