From 2c4a33aba5f9ea3a28f2e40351f078d95f00786b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2014 23:39:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix traceon trigger condition to actually turn tracing on While working on my tutorial for 2014 Linux Collaboration Summit I found that the traceon trigger did not work when conditions were used. The other triggers worked fine though. Looking into it, it is because of the way the triggers use the ring buffer to store the fields it will use for the condition. But if tracing is off, nothing is stored in the buffer, and the tracepoint exits before calling the trigger to test the condition. This is fine for all the triggers that only work when tracing is on, but for traceon trigger that is to work when tracing is off, nothing happens. The fix is simple, just use a temp ring buffer to record the event if tracing is off and the event has a trace event conditional trigger enabled. The rest of the tracepoint code will work just fine, but the tracepoint wont be recorded in the other buffers.
