#
# Architectures that offer an FTRACE implementation should select HAVE_FTRACE:
#
config NOP_TRACER
bool
config HAVE_FTRACE
bool
select NOP_TRACER
config HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
bool
config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
bool
config TRACER_MAX_TRACE
bool
config TRACING
bool
select DEBUG_FS
select STACKTRACE
select TRACEPOINTS
config FTRACE
bool "Kernel Function Tracer"
depends on HAVE_FTRACE
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select FRAME_POINTER
select TRACING
select CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER
help
Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function. This is done
by using a compiler feature to insert a small, 5-byte No-Operation
instruction to the beginning of every kernel function, which NOP
sequence is then dynamically patched into a tracer call when
tracing is enabled by the administrator. If it's runtime disabled
(the bootup default), then the overhead of the instructions is very
small and not measurable even in micro-benchmarks.
config IRQSOFF_TRACER
bool "Interrupts-off Latency Tracer"
default n
depends on TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
depends on GENERIC_TIME
depends on HAVE_FTRACE
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select TRACE_IRQFLAGS
select TRACING
select TRACER_MAX_TRACE
help
This option measures the time spent in irqs-off critical
sections, with microsecond accuracy.
The default measurement method is a maximum search, which is
disabled by default and can be runtime (re-)started
via:
echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_max_latency
(Note that kernel size and overhead increases with this option
enabled. This option and the preempt-off timing option can be
used together or separately.)
config PREEMPT_TRACER
bool "Preemption-off Latency Tracer"
default n
depends on GENERIC_TIME
depends on PREEMPT
depends on HAVE_FTRACE
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select TRACING
select TRACER_MAX_TRACE
help
This option measures the time spent in preemption off critical
sections, with microsecond accuracy.
The default measurement method is a maximum search, which is
disabled by default and can be runtime (re-)started
via:
echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_max_latency
(Note that kernel size and overhead increases with this option
enabled. This option and the irqs-off timing option can be
used together or separately.)
config SYSPROF_TRACER
bool "Sysprof Tracer"
depends on X86
select TRACING
help
This tracer provides the trace needed by the 'Sysprof' userspace
tool.
config SCHED_TRACER
bool "Scheduling Latency Tracer"
depends on HAVE_FTRACE
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select TRACING
select CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER
select TRACER_MAX_TRACE
help
This tracer tracks the latency of the highest priority task
to be scheduled in, starting from the point it has woken up.
config CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER
bool "Trace process context switches"
depends on HAVE_FTRACE
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select TRACING
select MARKERS
help
This tracer gets called from the context switch and records
all switching of tasks.
config STACK_TRACER
bool "Trace max stack"
depends on HAVE_FTRACE
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select FTRACE
select STACKTRACE
help
This tracer records the max stack of the kernel, and displays
it in debugfs/tracing/stack_trace
config DYNAMIC_FTRACE
bool "enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically"
depends on FTRACE
depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
default y
help
This option will modify all the calls to ftrace dynamically
(will patch them out of the binary image and replaces them
with a No-Op instruction) as they are called. A table is
created to dynamically enable them again.
This way a CONFIG_FTRACE kernel is slightly larger, but otherwise
has native performance as long as no tracing is active.
The changes to the code are done by a kernel thread that
wakes up once a second and checks to see if any ftrace calls
were made. If so, it runs stop_machine (stops all CPUS)
and modifies the code to jump over the call to ftrace.
config FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
def_bool y
depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE
depends on HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
config FTRACE_SELFTEST
bool
config FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST
bool "Perform a startup test on ftrace"
depends on TRACING
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select FTRACE_SELFTEST
help
This option performs a series of startup tests on ftrace. On bootup
a series of tests are made to verify that the tracer is
functioning properly. It will do tests on all the configured
tracers of ftrace.
