About a half events are missing when we splice_read
from trace_pipe. They are unexpectedly consumed because we ignore
the TRACE_TYPE_NO_CONSUME return value used by the function graph
tracer when it needs to consume the events by itself to walk on
the ring buffer.
The same problem appears with ftrace_dump()
Example of an output before this patch:
1) | ktime_get_real() {
1) 2.846 us | read_hpet();
1) 4.558 us | }
1) 6.195 us | }
After this patch:
0) | ktime_get_real() {
0) | getnstimeofday() {
0) 1.960 us | read_hpet();
0) 3.597 us | }
0) 5.196 us | }
The fix also applies on 2.6.30
