Impact: better handling of CPU buffer start annotation Because of the confusion with the per CPU buffers wrapping where one CPU might be more active at the end of the trace than the other CPUs causing that one CPU to have a shorter history. Kernel developers were confused by the "missing" data of that one CPU at the beginning of the trace output. An annotation was added to the trace output to show that the buffer had started: # tracer: function # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | ##### CPU 3 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [003] 158.192959: smp_apic_timer_interrupt [...] <idle>-0 [003] 161.556520: default_idle ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 161.592494: hrtimer_force_reprogram [etc] But this annotation gets a bit messy when tracers do not fill the buffers. This patch does a couple of things: One) it adds a flag to trace_options to disable these annotations Two) it does not annotate if the tracer did not overflow its buffer. This makes the output much cleaner. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
