Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/2] tracing: Have trace_printk()s in the events/ directory
Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:58:03 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101118035803.453609353@goodmis.org> (raw)
As suggested in:
LKML-Reference: <20101116221726.GB26243@nowhere>
or
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128994587230629
To have trace_printks in the events directory.
This patch set just does it for ftrace, although it can also lay the
ground work for both perf and trace (are they different tools?)
This patch set converts the current trace_printk() into ftrace_printk()
(back to it's original name) and that stays the same.
The new trace_printk() is off by default (we can change that later
with a kernel command line option perhaps), but it can be enable now
with the events directory.
Each trace_printk() added will get a entry in the debugfs/tracing/events/
directory as debugfs/tracing/entry/path/to/trace_printk/
For example, I added a trace_printk() in kernel/sched.c at line 2180
and it creates:
# ls /debug/tracing/events/printk/kernel/sched.c/2180/
enable format
The format is the printk format:
# cat /debug/tracing/events/printk/kernel/sched.c/2180/format
"migrate task %s:%d
"
Every directory has an "enable" file. By echoing 0 or 1 into this
file, it will enable all the trace_printk's below it.
This also uses jump_label() to keep overhead down when disabled.
Note, modules are not (yet) supported.
This is just the ground work. I'm busy doing other things so
if you need more, feel free to take this and carry on.
