Hist triggers allow one or more arbitrary trace event fields
|
|
to be aggregated into hash tables and dumped to stdout by
|
|
reading a debugfs/tracefs file. They're useful for
|
|
gathering quick and dirty (though precise) summaries of
|
|
event activity as an initial guide for further investigation
|
|
using more advanced tools.

|

help
|
|
This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
|
|
as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
|
|
However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.
|
|
|
|
Say N, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

config TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK
|
|
bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
|
|
help
|
|
This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
|
|
When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
|
|
goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
|
|
run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
|
|
it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
|
|
data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
|
|
will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
|
|
The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
|
|
to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
|
|
"START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
|
|
write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
|
|
|
|
As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
|
|
we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.
|
|
|
|
An example of the output:
|
|
|
|

config RING_BUFFER_BENCHMARK

tristate "Ring buffer benchmark stress tester"
|
|
depends on RING_BUFFER
|
|
help
|
|
This option creates a test to stress the ring buffer and benchmark it.
|
|
It creates its own ring buffer such that it will not interfere with
|
|
any other users of the ring buffer (such as ftrace). It then creates
|
|
a producer and consumer that will run for 10 seconds and sleep for
|
|
10 seconds. Each interval it will print out the number of events
|
|
it recorded and give a rough estimate of how long each iteration took.
|
|
|
|
It does not disable interrupts or raise its priority, so it may be
|
|
affected by processes that are running.

|

If unsure, say N.

depends on RING_BUFFER
|
|
help
|
|
Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the
|
|
kernel boot sequence, the test will start that kicks off
|
|
a thread per cpu. Each thread will write various size events
|
|
into the ring buffer. Another thread is created to send IPIs
|
|
to each of the threads, where the IPI handler will also write
|
|
to the ring buffer, to test/stress the nesting ability.
|
|
If any anomalies are discovered, a warning will be displayed
|
|
and all ring buffers will be disabled.
|
|
|
|
The test runs for 10 seconds. This will slow your boot time
|
|
by at least 10 more seconds.
|
|
|
|
At the end of the test, statics and more checks are done.
|
|
It will output the stats of each per cpu buffer. What
|
|
was written, the sizes, what was read, what was lost, and
|
|
other similar details.

config TRACE_ENUM_MAP_FILE
|
|
bool "Show enum mappings for trace events"
|
|
depends on TRACING
|
|
help
|
|
The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum names instead
|
|
of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools that
|
|
use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
|
|
how to convert the string to its value.
|
|
|
|
To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
|
|
to convert the enum into its value. If this macro is used, then the
|
|
print fmt strings will have the enums converted to their values.
|
|
|
|
If something does not get converted properly, this option can be
|
|
used to show what enums the kernel tried to convert.
|
|
|
|
This option is for debugging the enum conversions. A file is created
|
|
in the tracing directory called "enum_map" that will show the enum
|
|
names matched with their values and what trace event system they
|
|
belong too.
|
|
|
|
Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after
|
|
boot up or module load. With this option, they will not be freed, as
|
|
they are needed for the "enum_map" file. Enabling this option will
|
|
increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.
