tracer is not adding more data, they will display
the same information every time they are read.
- iter_ctrl: This file lets the user control the amount of data
+ trace_options: This file lets the user control the amount of data
that is displayed in one of the above output
files.
The rest is the same as the 'trace' file.
-iter_ctrl
----------
+trace_options
+-------------
-The iter_ctrl file is used to control what gets printed in the trace
+The trace_options file is used to control what gets printed in the trace
output. To see what is available, simply cat the file:
- cat /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl
+ cat /debug/tracing/trace_options
print-parent nosym-offset nosym-addr noverbose noraw nohex nobin \
noblock nostacktrace nosched-tree
To disable one of the options, echo in the option prepended with "no".
- echo noprint-parent > /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl
+ echo noprint-parent > /debug/tracing/trace_options
To enable an option, leave off the "no".
- echo sym-offset > /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl
+ echo sym-offset > /debug/tracing/trace_options
Here are the available options:
/* trace_wait is a waitqueue for tasks blocked on trace_poll */
static DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(trace_wait);
-/* trace_flags holds iter_ctrl options */
+/* trace_flags holds trace_options default values */
unsigned long trace_flags = TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT | TRACE_ITER_PRINTK;
