From 02b67518e2b1c490787dac7f35e1204e74fe21ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Török Edwin Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:28:47 +0200 Subject: tracing: add support for userspace stacktraces in tracing/iter_ctrl MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature Usage example: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl echo sched_switch >current_tracer echo 1 >tracing_enabled .... run application ... echo 0 >tracing_enabled Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'. To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).
