It's better because I get the end of the trace, but I do lose the beginning of it: ** 196358 printk messages dropped ** [ 102.321182] perf-5981 0.... 12983650us : d_path <-seq_path The way I tested it was by adding this: Index: linux-trace.git/kernel/trace/trace_functions.c =================================================================== --- linux-trace.git.orig/kernel/trace/trace_functions.c +++ linux-trace.git/kernel/trace/trace_functions.c @@ -469,8 +469,11 @@ ftrace_cpudump_probe(unsigned long ip, u struct trace_array *tr, struct ftrace_probe_ops *ops, void *data) { - if (update_count(ops, ip, data)) - ftrace_dump(DUMP_ORIG); + char *killer = NULL; + + panic_on_oops = 1; /* force panic */ + wmb(); + *killer = 1; } static int Then doing the following: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops # trace-cmd start -p function # echo nmi_handle:cpudump > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # perf record -c 100 -a sleep 1 And that triggers the crash. -- Steve
