cyclictest will only write to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_maker if it's also setup to do tracing. This conflicts with running cyclictest under trace-cmd. The --tracemark option tells cyclictest to write to the trace_marker file even when it's not doing tracing. It's can be used like this: # trace-cmd record [...] cyclictest [...] -bX --tracemark --notrace Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@xxxxxxxxxx> --- src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c | 20 +++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c b/src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c index e35088b..5a261e2 100644 --- a/src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c +++ b/src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c @@ -167,6 +167,7 @@ struct thread_stat { static int shutdown; static int tracelimit = 0; static int notrace = 0; +static int trace_marker = 0; static int ftrace = 0; static int kernelversion; static int verbose = 0; @@ -510,6 +511,18 @@ static void open_tracemark_fd(void) warn("unable to open trace_marker file: %s\n", path); } +static void enable_trace_mark(void) +{ + if (!trace_marker) + return; + + if (!tracelimit) + fatal("--tracemark requires -b\n"); + + debugfs_prepare(); + open_tracemark_fd(); +} + static void setup_tracer(void) { if (!tracelimit || notrace) @@ -1234,7 +1247,7 @@ enum option_values { OPT_QUIET, OPT_PRIOSPREAD, OPT_RELATIVE, OPT_RESOLUTION, OPT_SYSTEM, OPT_SMP, OPT_THREADS, OPT_TRACER, OPT_UNBUFFERED, OPT_NUMA, OPT_VERBOSE, OPT_WAKEUP, OPT_WAKEUPRT, OPT_DBGCYCLIC, OPT_POLICY, OPT_HELP, OPT_NUMOPTS, - OPT_ALIGNED, OPT_LAPTOP, OPT_SECALIGNED, + OPT_ALIGNED, OPT_LAPTOP, OPT_SECALIGNED, OPT_TRACEMARK, }; /* Process commandline options */ @@ -1285,6 +1298,7 @@ static void process_options (int argc, char *argv[], int max_cpus) {"system", no_argument, NULL, OPT_SYSTEM }, {"smp", no_argument, NULL, OPT_SMP }, {"threads", optional_argument, NULL, OPT_THREADS }, + {"tracemark", no_argument, NULL, OPT_TRACEMARK }, {"tracer", required_argument, NULL, OPT_TRACER }, {"unbuffered", no_argument, NULL, OPT_UNBUFFERED }, {"numa", no_argument, NULL, OPT_NUMA }, @@ -1509,6 +1523,8 @@ static void process_options (int argc, char *argv[], int max_cpus) ct_debug = 1; break; case OPT_LAPTOP: laptop = 1; break; + case OPT_TRACEMARK: + trace_marker = 1; break; } } @@ -1850,6 +1866,8 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) setup_tracer(); + enable_trace_mark(); + if (check_timer()) warn("High resolution timers not available\n"); -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
