tracing: Add function probe to trigger stack traces
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
