bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
+ depends on IO_TRACE
help
Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
+ Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
+
+ iotrace is enabled
+ Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
+ Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
+ Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
+ Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
+ Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
+ CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
+
When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
done and in what order.
