Linux kernel stable tree (mirror) https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/atom?h=v6.6.132 2019-11-23T00:41:08+00:00 2019-11-23T00:41:08+00:00 Divya Indi divya.indi@oracle.com 2019-11-20T19:08:39+00:00 urn:sha1:89ed42495ef4a020435f2b999093bb5731eeb8b9 This is a sample module to demonstrate the use of the newly introduced and exported APIs to access Ftrace instances from within the kernel. Newly introduced APIs used here - 1. Create/Lookup a trace array with the given name. struct trace_array *trace_array_get_by_name(const char *name) 2. Destroy/Remove a trace array. int trace_array_destroy(struct trace_array *tr) 4. Enable/Disable trace events: int trace_array_set_clr_event(struct trace_array *tr, const char *system, const char *event, bool enable); Exported APIs - 1. trace_printk equivalent for instances. int trace_array_printk(struct trace_array *tr, unsigned long ip, const char *fmt, ...); 2. Helper function. void trace_printk_init_buffers(void); 3. To decrement the reference counter. void trace_array_put(struct trace_array *tr) Sample output(contents of /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/sample-instance) NOTE: Tracing disabled after ~5 sec) _-----=> irqs-off / _----=> need-resched | / _---=> hardirq/softirq || / _--=> preempt-depth ||| / delay TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION | | | |||| | | sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 49.430948: simple_thread: trace_array_printk: count=0 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 49.430951: sample_event: count value=0 at jiffies=4294716608 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 50.454847: simple_thread: trace_array_printk: count=1 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 50.454849: sample_event: count value=1 at jiffies=4294717632 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 51.478748: simple_thread: trace_array_printk: count=2 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 51.478750: sample_event: count value=2 at jiffies=4294718656 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 52.502652: simple_thread: trace_array_printk: count=3 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 52.502655: sample_event: count value=3 at jiffies=4294719680 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 53.526533: simple_thread: trace_array_printk: count=4 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 53.526535: sample_event: count value=4 at jiffies=4294720704 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 54.550438: simple_thread: trace_array_printk: count=5 sample-instance-1452 [002] .... 55.574336: simple_thread: trace_array_printk: count=6 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1574276919-11119-3-git-send-email-divya.indi@oracle.com Reviewed-by: Aruna Ramakrishna <aruna.ramakrishna@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Divya Indi <divya.indi@oracle.com> [ Moved to samples/ftrace ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
