Hi, This series improves ftracetest mainly to run on 4.9 stable tree kernel. There still some issues remains (it seems some fixes are not merged), but a half of issues are fixed. NOTE: One patch will modify ftrace README to check the availability of the maxactive option, which should have been implemented with the function-added patch. With this series, only 1 test actually failed on 4.9.29. (and 3 unsupported, since it is too old to support it) Tue May 23 05:56:24 UTC 2017 === Ftrace unit tests === [1] Basic trace file check [PASS] [2] Basic test for tracers [PASS] [3] Basic trace clock test [PASS] [4] Basic event tracing check [PASS] [5] event tracing - enable/disable with event level files [PASS] [6] event tracing - restricts events based on pid [PASS] [7] event tracing - enable/disable with subsystem level files [PASS] [8] event tracing - enable/disable with top level files [PASS] [9] ftrace - function graph filters with stack tracer [PASS] [10] ftrace - function graph filters [PASS] [11] ftrace - function glob filters [PASS] [12] ftrace - function pid filters [PASS] [13] ftrace - test for function event triggers [PASS] [14] ftrace - function profiler with function tracing [PASS] [15] ftrace - test reading of set_ftrace_filter [FAIL] [16] ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [PASS] [17] Test creation and deletion of trace instances while setting an event [PASS] [18] Test creation and deletion of trace instances [PASS] [19] Kprobe dynamic event - adding and removing [PASS] [20] Kprobe dynamic event - busy event check [PASS] [21] Kprobe dynamic event with arguments [PASS] [22] Kprobes event arguments with types [PASS] [23] Kprobe dynamic event with function tracer [PASS] [24] Kretprobe dynamic event with arguments [PASS] [25] Kretprobe dynamic event with maxactive [UNSUPPORTED] [26] event trigger - test event enable/disable trigger [PASS] [27] event trigger - test trigger filter [PASS] [28] event trigger - test histogram modifiers [PASS] [29] event trigger - test histogram trigger [PASS] [30] event trigger - test multiple histogram triggers [PASS] [31] event trigger - test snapshot-trigger [PASS] [32] event trigger - test stacktrace-trigger [PASS] [33] event trigger - test traceon/off trigger [PASS] [34] (instance) Basic test for tracers [PASS] [35] (instance) Basic trace clock test [PASS] [36] (instance) event tracing - enable/disable with event level files [PASS] [37] (instance) event tracing - restricts events based on pid [PASS] [38] (instance) event tracing - enable/disable with subsystem level files [PASS] [39] (instance) ftrace - test for function event triggers [UNSUPPORTED] [40] (instance) ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [UNSUPPORTED] [41] (instance) event trigger - test event enable/disable trigger [PASS] [42] (instance) event trigger - test trigger filter [PASS] [43] (instance) event trigger - test histogram modifiers [PASS] [44] (instance) event trigger - test histogram trigger [PASS] [45] (instance) event trigger - test multiple histogram triggers [PASS] # of passed: 41 # of failed: 1 # of unresolved: 0 # of untested: 0 # of unsupported: 3 # of xfailed: 0 # of undefined(test bug): 0 > [15] ftrace - test reading of set_ftrace_filter [FAIL] was caused by the difference of the result of "dd bs=1 if=set_ftrace_filter" and "cat set_ftrace_filter", which has been fixed on upstream by commit fcdc71257923 ("ftrace: Fix indexing of t_hash_start() from t_next()") but backporting it onto 4.9.y stable tree didn't fix that.
