ftrace: add filter select functions to trace
This patch adds two files to the debugfs system: /debugfs/tracing/available_filter_functions and /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The available_filter_functions lists all functions that has been recorded by the ftraced that has called the ftrace_record_ip function. This is to allow users to see what functions have been converted to nops and can be enabled for tracing. To enable functions, simply echo the names (whitespace delimited) into set_ftrace_filter. Simple wildcards are also allowed. echo 'scheduler' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only the scheduler be activated when tracing is enabled. echo 'sched_*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only the functions starting with 'sched_' be activated. echo '*lock' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only functions ending with 'lock' be activated. echo '*lock*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only functions with 'lock' in its name be activated. Note: 'sched*lock' will not work. The only wildcards that are allowed is an asterisk and the beginning and or end of the string passed in. Multiple names can be passed in with whitespace delimited: echo 'scheduler *lock *acpi*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter is also the same as: echo 'scheduler' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo '*lock' >> /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo '*acpi*' >> /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Appending does just that. It appends to the list. To disable all filters simply echo an empty line in: echo > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
