500 This option performs a series of startup tests on ftrace. On bootup
501 a series of tests are made to verify that the tracer is
502 functioning properly. It will do tests on all the configured

509 This option will also enable testing every syscall event.
510 It only enables the event and disables it and runs various loads
511 with the event enabled. This adds a bit more time for kernel boot
512 up since it runs this on every system call defined.
513
514 TBD - enable a way to actually call the syscalls as we test their
515 events

522 Mmiotrace traces Memory Mapped I/O access and is meant for
523 debugging and reverse engineering. It is called from the ioremap
524 implementation and works via page faults. Tracing is disabled by
525 default and can be enabled at run-time.

533 help
534 This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
535 as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
536 However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.

544 This option creates a test to stress the ring buffer and benchmark it.
545 It creates its own ring buffer such that it will not interfere with

SR
546 any other users of the ring buffer (such as ftrace). It then creates
547 a producer and consumer that will run for 10 seconds and sleep for
548 10 seconds. Each interval it will print out the number of events
549 it recorded and give a rough estimate of how long each iteration took.
550
551 It does not disable interrupts or raise its priority, so it may be
552 affected by processes that are running.

559 help
560 Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the
561 kernel boot sequence, the test will start that kicks off
562 a thread per cpu. Each thread will write various size events
563 into the ring buffer. Another thread is created to send IPIs
564 to each of the threads, where the IPI handler will also write
565 to the ring buffer, to test/stress the nesting ability.
566 If any anomalies are discovered, a warning will be displayed
567 and all ring buffers will be disabled.
568
569 The test runs for 10 seconds. This will slow your boot time
570 by at least 10 more seconds.
571
572 At the end of the test, statics and more checks are done.
573 It will output the stats of each per cpu buffer. What
574 was written, the sizes, what was read, what was lost, and
575 other similar details.
