225 help
226 This tracer, when enabled will create one or more kernel threads,
227 depening on what the cpumask file is set to, which each thread
228 spinning in a loop looking for interruptions caused by
229 something other than the kernel. For example, if a
230 System Management Interrupt (SMI) takes a noticeable amount of
231 time, this tracer will detect it. This is useful for testing
232 if a system is reliable for Real Time tasks.
233
234 Some files are created in the tracing directory when this
235 is enabled:
236
237 hwlat_detector/width - time in usecs for how long to spin for
238 hwlat_detector/window - time in usecs between the start of each
239 iteration
240
241 A kernel thread is created that will spin with interrupts disabled
242 for "width" microseconds in every "widow" cycle. It will not spin
243 for "window - width" microseconds, where the system can
244 continue to operate.
245
246 The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.
247
248 When the tracer is not running, it has no affect on the system,
249 but when it is running, it can cause the system to be
250 periodically non responsive. Do not run this tracer on a
251 production system.
252
253 To enable this tracer, echo in "hwlat" into the current_tracer
254 file. Every time a latency is greater than tracing_thresh, it will
255 be recorded into the ring buffer.

485 This option will modify all the calls to function tracing
486 dynamically (will patch them out of the binary image and
487 replace them with a No-Op instruction) on boot up. During
488 compile time, a table is made of all the locations that ftrace
489 can function trace, and this table is linked into the kernel
490 image. When this is enabled, functions can be individually
491 enabled, and the functions not enabled will not affect
492 performance of the system.

513 in debugfs called function_profile_enabled which defaults to zero.
514 When a 1 is echoed into this file profiling begins, and when a
515 zero is entered, profiling stops. A "functions" file is created in
516 the trace_stats directory; this file shows the list of functions that
517 have been hit and their counters.

601config TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK
602 bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
603 help
604 This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
605 When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
606 goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
607 run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
608 it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
609 data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
610 will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
611 The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
612 to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
613 "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
614 write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
615
616 As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
617 we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.

674 The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum/sizeof names
675 instead of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools
676 that use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
9828413d

677 how to convert the string to its value.
678
679 To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used

681 the print fmt strings will be converted to their values.

691 Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after

681bec03 693 they are needed for the "eval_map" file. Enabling this option will
