      ftrace: convert single large buffer into single pages. · 4c11d7ae
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Allocating large buffers for the tracer may fail easily.
      This patch converts the buffer from a large ordered allocation
      to single pages. It uses the struct page LRU field to link the
      pages together.
      
      Later patches may also implement dynamic increasing and decreasing
      of the trace buffers.

      ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure · bc0c38d1
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch
      does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will
      be used by later patches.
      
      If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files
      to the debugfs:
      
       The root tracing directory:
      
        /debugfs/tracing/
      
      This patch also adds the following files:
      
        available_tracers
           list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are
           available. Looking into this file only shows
           "none" which is used to unregister all tracers.
      
        current_tracer
           The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up.
           To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that
           are listed in available_tracers:
      
         example: (used with later patches)
      
            echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
      
           To disable the tracer:
      
             echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
      
        tracing_enabled
           echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing
            (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1)
           echoing "0" turns it off.
      
        latency_trace
            This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace.
      
        trace
            This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace.
      
        iter_ctrl
            Controls the way the output of traces look.
            So far there's two controls:
              echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables
                  without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured)
              echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show
                  a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by
                  humans.
              echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly.
              echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.
