commit f5ccfbe4d6641e48f56152be135d901dd31cba7e was a little too aggressive removing ftrace code. We were able to remove ftrace code because this functionality is available using trace-cmd, in conjunction with the tracemark option in cyclictest. Put back the parts of tracemark needed to make this work correctly. After this patch you can get tracing info like this as an example. trace-cmd record -p function ./cyclictest -t -b100 --tracemark Signed-off-by: John Kacur <jkacur@xxxxxxxxxx> Corrected a typo Reported-by: Kurt Kanzenbach <kurt.kanzenbach@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: John Kacur <jkacur@xxxxxxxxxx> --- src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c b/src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c index 52f93da7d074..72fb35da3238 100644 --- a/src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c +++ b/src/cyclictest/cyclictest.c @@ -184,6 +184,7 @@ static void trigger_update(struct thread_param *par, int diff, int64_t ts); static int shutdown; static int tracelimit = 0; +static int trace_marker = 0; static int verbose = 0; static int oscope_reduction = 1; static int lockall = 0; @@ -400,6 +401,9 @@ static void debugfs_prepare(void) static void enable_trace_mark(void) { + if (!trace_marker) + return; + debugfs_prepare(); open_tracemark_fd(); } @@ -1167,6 +1171,7 @@ static void process_options (int argc, char *argv[], int max_cpus) {"spike", required_argument, NULL, OPT_TRIGGER }, {"spike-nodes", required_argument, NULL, OPT_TRIGGER_NODES }, {"threads", optional_argument, NULL, OPT_THREADS }, + {"tracemark", no_argument, NULL, OPT_TRACEMARK }, {"unbuffered", no_argument, NULL, OPT_UNBUFFERED }, {"verbose", no_argument, NULL, OPT_VERBOSE }, {"dbg_cyclictest", no_argument, NULL, OPT_DBGCYCLIC }, @@ -1343,6 +1348,8 @@ static void process_options (int argc, char *argv[], int max_cpus) fatal("--smi is not available on your arch\n"); #endif break; + case OPT_TRACEMARK: + trace_marker = 1; break; } } -- 2.20.1
