Subject: [PATCH -tip 3/4] tracing: make a snapshot feature available from userspace
Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2012 17:27:19 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121002082718.9807.22052.stgit@falsita> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121002081309.8661.37629.stgit@falsita>

Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and
latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables
user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs.

Add following two debugfs files in "tracing" directory.

  snapshot:
    This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the
    snapshot.
     # echo 1 > snapshot
     # cat snapshot

  snapshot_allocate:
    Echoing 1 to the "snapshot" allocates the max_tr buffer if
    it is not allocated. So taking a snapshot may delay or fail
    beacuse of memory allocation. To avoid that, this file
    provides a mean to pre-allocate (or free) the max_tr buffer.
     # echo 1 > snapshot_allocate
     [...]
     # echo 1 > snapshot
