If you are using scripts to parse the output, then you could just enable the "fields" options, which will just ignore the TP_printk() and print the fields in both their hex and decimal values: # trace-cmd start -e filemap -O fields // the above fields change can also be done with: // echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/options/fields # trace-cmd show # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 8/8 #P:8 # # _-----=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / _-=> migrate-disable # |||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | ||||| | | less-2527 [004] ..... 61949.896458: mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache: pfn=0x144625 (1328677) i_ino=0x335c6 (210374) index=0x0 (0) s_dev=0xfe00003 (266338307) order=(0) less-2527 [004] d..2. 61949.896926: mm_filemap_delete_from_page_cache: pfn=0x152b07 (1387271) i_ino=0x2d73a (186170) index=0x0 (0) s_dev=0xfe00003 (266338307) order=(0) jbd2/vda3-8-268 [005] ..... 61954.461964: mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache: pfn=0x152b70 (1387376) i_ino=0xfe00003 (266338307) index=0x30bd33 (3194163) s_dev=0x3 (3) order=(0) jbd2/vda3-8-268 [005] ..... 61954.462669: mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache: pfn=0x15335b (1389403) i_ino=0xfe00003 (266338307) index=0x30bd40 (3194176) s_dev=0x3 (3) order=(0) jbd2/vda3-8-268 [005] ..... 62001.565391: mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache: pfn=0x13a996 (1288598) i_ino=0xfe00003 (266338307) index=0x30bd41 (3194177) s_dev=0x3 (3) order=(0) jbd2/vda3-8-268 [005] ..... 62001.566081: mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache: pfn=0x1446b5 (1328821) i_ino=0xfe00003 (266338307) index=0x30bd43 (3194179) s_dev=0x3 (3) order=(0) less-2530 [004] ..... 62033.182309: mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache: pfn=0x13d755 (1300309) i_ino=0x2d73a (186170) index=0x0 (0) s_dev=0xfe00003 (266338307) order=(0) less-2530 [004] d..2. 62033.182801: mm_filemap_delete_from_page_cache: pfn=0x144625 (1328677) i_ino=0x335c6 (210374) index=0x0 (0) s_dev=0xfe00003 (266338307) order=(0) Just an FYI, -- Steve
