ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.

help
Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function. This is done
by using a compiler feature to insert a small, 5-byte No-Operation
instruction to the beginning of every kernel function, which NOP
sequence is then dynamically patched into a tracer call when
tracing is enabled by the administrator. If it's runtime disabled
(the bootup default), then the overhead of the instructions is very
small and not measurable even in micro-benchmarks.
