X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ad71d889b88055e61e3970a6744a271a51a94f42;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

tracing: Add function probe to trigger a ftrace dump to console

Add the "dump" command to have the ftrace buffer dumped to console if
a function is hit. This is useful when debugging a tripple fault,
where you have an idea of a function that is called just before the
tripple fault occurs, and can tell ftrace to dump its content out
to the console before it continues.

Format is:

  <function>:dump

echo 'bad_address:dump' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

To remove this:

echo '!bad_address:dump' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

+- dump
+  When the function is hit, it will dump the contents of the ftrace
+  ring buffer to the console. This is useful if you need to debug
+  something, and want to dump the trace when a certain function
+  is hit. Perhaps its a function that is called before a tripple
+  fault happens and does not allow you to get a regular dump.
