493 This option enables the kernel function profiler. A file is created
494 in debugfs called function_profile_enabled which defaults to zero.
495 When a 1 is echoed into this file profiling begins, and when a
496 zero is entered, profiling stops. A "functions" file is created in
497 the trace_stats directory; this file shows the list of functions that
498 have been hit and their counters.

555config TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK
556 bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
557 help
558 This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
559 When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
560 goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
561 run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
562 it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
563 data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
564 will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
565 The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
566 to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
567 "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
568 write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
569
570 As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
571 we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.
572
573 An example of the output:

604 help
605 Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the
606 kernel boot sequence, the test will start that kicks off
607 a thread per cpu. Each thread will write various size events
608 into the ring buffer. Another thread is created to send IPIs
609 to each of the threads, where the IPI handler will also write
610 to the ring buffer, to test/stress the nesting ability.
611 If any anomalies are discovered, a warning will be displayed
612 and all ring buffers will be disabled.

614 The test runs for 10 seconds. This will slow your boot time
615 by at least 10 more seconds.

624config TRACE_ENUM_MAP_FILE
625 bool "Show enum mappings for trace events"
626 depends on TRACING
627 help
628 The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum names instead
629 of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools that
630 use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
631 how to convert the string to its value.
632
633 To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
634 to convert the enum into its value. If this macro is used, then the
635 print fmt strings will have the enums converted to their values.
636
637 If something does not get converted properly, this option can be
638 used to show what enums the kernel tried to convert.
639
640 This option is for debugging the enum conversions. A file is created
641 in the tracing directory called "enum_map" that will show the enum
642 names matched with their values and what trace event system they
643 belong too.
644
645 Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after
646 boot up or module load. With this option, they will not be freed, as
647 they are needed for the "enum_map" file. Enabling this option will
648 increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.
