Add a function probe that will cause a stack trace to be traced in the ring buffer when the given function(s) are called. format is: <function>:stacktrace[:<count>] echo 'schedule:stacktrace' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe kworker/2:0-4329 [002] ...2 2933.558007: <stack trace> => kthread => ret_from_fork <idle>-0 [000] .N.2 2933.558019: <stack trace> => rest_init => start_kernel => x86_64_start_reservations => x86_64_start_kernel kworker/2:0-4329 [002] ...2 2933.558109: <stack trace> => kthread => ret_from_fork [...] This can be set to only trace a specific amount of times: echo 'schedule:stacktrace:3' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe <...>-58 [003] ...2 841.801694: <stack trace> => kthread => ret_from_fork <idle>-0 [001] .N.2 841.801697: <stack trace> => start_secondary <...>-2059 [001] ...2 841.801736: <stack trace> => wait_for_common => wait_for_completion => flush_work => tty_flush_to_ldisc => input_available_p => n_tty_poll => tty_poll => do_select => core_sys_select => sys_select => system_call_fastpath To remove these: echo '!schedule:stacktrace' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo '!schedule:stacktrace:0' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
