From 93e31ffbf417a84fbae518fb46b3ea3f0d8fa6e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2013 08:59:26 -0500 Subject: tracing: Add 'snapshot' event trigger command Add 'snapshot' event_command. snapshot event triggers are added by the user via this command in a similar way and using practically the same syntax as the analogous 'snapshot' ftrace function command, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the snapshot event trigger is written to the per-event 'trigger' files: echo 'snapshot' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger The above command will turn on snapshots for someevent i.e. whenever someevent is hit, a snapshot will be done. This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the command will be invoked: echo 'snapshot:N' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked. The above command will snapshot N times for someevent i.e. whenever someevent is hit N times, a snapshot will be done. Also adds a new tracing_alloc_snapshot() function - the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc() function is a special version of tracing_snapshot() that also does the snapshot allocation - the snapshot triggers would like to be able to do just the allocation but not take a snapshot; the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc() in turn now also calls tracing_alloc_snapshot() underneath to do that allocation.
