[PATCH] Update old Mini-HOWTO for ftrace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



   Dear Steven,

   The author of ftrace(Internal kernel Function Tracer) feature
renamed the ftrace tracer
    to function to avoid further confusion between the ftrace
infrastructure and the
    function tracer on Oct-20, 2008.

    But, Update of Mini-HOWTO document are still not working
    .
    Most of the developers often utilize "/debug/tracing/README" file
as Mini-HOWTO.
    They will confuse definition and usage about ftrace  between
README(ftrace) file
    and available_tracers(function) file after linux-2.6.27 like me.
    And, I want you to append "chrt -f 5 sleep 1" command as simple
example for latency.
