linux-toradex.git/include/linux/trace.h, branch v4.11-rc3 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules tracing: Add hook to function tracing for other subsystems to use 2016-11-22T22:40:00+00:00 Chunyan Zhang zhang.chunyan@linaro.org 2016-11-21T07:57:18+00:00 478409dd683db76cbcfe7bf8332a37f01deb0a2d Currently Function traces can be only exported to the ring buffer. This adds a trace_export concept which can process traces and export them to a registered destination as an addition to the current one that outputs to Ftrace - i.e. ring buffer. In this way, if we want function traces to be sent to other destinations rather than only to the ring buffer, we just need to register a new trace_export and implement its own .write() function for writing traces to storage. With this patch, only function tracing (trace type is TRACE_FN) is supported.

Currently Function traces can be only exported to the ring buffer. This
adds a trace_export concept which can process traces and export
them to a registered destination as an addition to the current
one that outputs to Ftrace - i.e. ring buffer.

In this way, if we want function traces to be sent to other destinations
rather than only to the ring buffer, we just need to register a new
trace_export and implement its own .write() function for writing traces to
storage.

With this patch, only function tracing (trace type is TRACE_FN)
is supported.
