    ftrace: Initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu · c4602c1c
    Miao Xie 提交于
    Ftrace currently initializes only the online CPUs. This implementation has
    two problems:
    - If we online a CPU after we enable the function profile, and then run the
      test, we will lose the trace information on that CPU.
      Steps to reproduce:
      # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      # cd <debugfs>/tracing/
      # echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter
      # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
      # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      # run test
    - If we offline a CPU before we enable the function profile, we will not clear
      the trace information when we enable the function profile. It will trouble
      the users.
      Steps to reproduce:
      # cd <debugfs>/tracing/
      # echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter
      # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
      # run test
      # cat trace_stat/function*
      # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      # echo 0 > function_profile_enabled
      # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
      # cat trace_stat/function*
      # run test
      # cat trace_stat/function*
    
    So it is better that we initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu
    every time we enable the function profile instead of just the online ones.
