can either use the sysctl function or set it via the proc system
interface.
- sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1
+ sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=n
or
- echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops
+ echo n > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops
+If n = 1, ftrace will dump buffers of all CPUs, if n = 2 ftrace will
+only dump the buffer of the CPU that triggered the oops.
Here's an example of such a dump after a null pointer
dereference in a kernel module:
