tracing/tools: Fix incorrcet short option in usage text for --threads

2025-11-07T12:59:37+00:00

The help message incorrectly listed '-t' as the short option for --threads, but the actual getopt_long configuration uses '-e'. This mismatch can confuse users and lead to incorrect command-line usage. This patch updates the usage string to correctly show: "-e, --threads NRTHR" to match the implementation. Note: checkpatch.pl reports a false-positive spelling warning on 'Run', which is intentional.

tools/tracing: Use tools/build makefiles on latency-collector

2024-03-20T04:39:06+00:00

Use tools/build/ makefiles to build latency-collector, inheriting the benefits of it. For example: Before this patch, a missing tracefs/traceevents headers will result in fail like this: ~/linux/tools/tracing/latency $ make cc -Wall -Wextra -g -O2 -o latency-collector latency-collector.c -lpthread latency-collector.c:26:10: fatal error: tracefs.h: No such file or directory 26 | #include | ^~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [Makefile:14: latency-collector] Error 1 Which is not that helpful. After this change it reports: ~/linux/tools/tracing/latency# make Auto-detecting system features: ... libtraceevent: [ OFF ] ... libtracefs: [ OFF ] libtraceevent is missing. Please install libtraceevent-dev/libtraceevent-devel libtracefs is missing. Please install libtracefs-dev/libtracefs-devel Makefile.config:29: *** Please, check the errors above.. Stop. This type of output is common across other tools in tools/ like perf and objtool.

tracing: Always use canonical ftrace path

2023-02-18T19:34:09+00:00

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

tools/latency-collector: Use correct size when writing queue_full_warning

2021-10-26T02:27:19+00:00

queue_full_warning is a pointer, so it is wrong to use sizeof to calculate the number of characters of the string it points to. The effect is that we only print out the first few characters of the warning string. The correct way is to use strlen(). We don't need to add 1 to the strlen() because we don't want to write the terminating null character to stdout.
