From: Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 02:45:37 +0000 (-0500) Subject: tracing: Add internal tracing_snapshot() functions X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ad909e21bbe69f1d39055d346540abd827190eca;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git tracing: Add internal tracing_snapshot() functions The new snapshot feature is quite handy. It's a way for the user to take advantage of the spare buffer that, until then, only the latency tracers used to "snapshot" the buffer when it hit a max latency. Now users can trigger a "snapshot" manually when some condition is hit in a program. But a snapshot currently can not be triggered by a condition inside the kernel. With the addition of tracing_snapshot() and tracing_snapshot_alloc(), snapshots can now be taking when a condition is hit, and the developer wants to snapshot the case without stopping the trace. Note, any snapshot will overwrite the old one, so take care in how this is done. These new functions are to be used like tracing_on(), tracing_off() and trace_printk() are. That is, they should never be called in the mainline Linux kernel. They are solely for the purpose of debugging. The tracing_snapshot() will not allocate a buffer, but it is safe to be called from any context (except NMIs). But if a snapshot buffer isn't allocated when it is called, it will write to the live buffer, complaining about the lack of a snapshot buffer, and then stop tracing (giving you the "permanent snapshot"). tracing_snapshot_alloc() will allocate the snapshot buffer if it was not already allocated and then take the snapshot. This routine *may sleep*, and must be called from context that can sleep. The allocation is done with GFP_KERNEL and not atomic. If you need a snapshot in an atomic context, say in early boot, then it is best to call the tracing_snapshot_alloc() before then, where it will allocate the buffer, and then you can use the tracing_snapshot() anywhere you want and still get snapshots.
