I'm surprised that this even worked.+ if (!fmt) + return -1; + + trace_seq_puts(seq, fmt);Second, just reading the trigger file is not useful, as the trigger file holds triggers, not just histograms. And you can have more than one histogram in the trigger file. For instance, I could do: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch # echo stacktrace > trigger # echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid' >> trigger # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid' >> trigger # cat trigger stacktrace:unlimited hist:keys=prev_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active] hist:keys=next_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active] Is this really what you want?
No, it isn’t :( I have to rethink this. Thanks a lot! Y.
