4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2824f5033248600673e3e126a4d135363cbfd9ac upstream. The snapshot trigger currently only affects the main ring buffer, even when it is used by the instances. This can be confusing as the snapshot trigger is listed in the instance. > # cd /sys/kernel/tracing > # mkdir instances/foo > # echo snapshot > instances/foo/events/syscalls/sys_enter_fchownat/trigger > # echo top buffer > trace_marker > # echo foo buffer > instances/foo/trace_marker > # touch /tmp/bar > # chown rostedt /tmp/bar > # cat instances/foo/snapshot # tracer: nop # # # * Snapshot is freed * # # Snapshot commands: # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated. # Takes a snapshot of the main buffer. # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free) # (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that # is not a '0' or '1') > # cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | bash-1189 [000] .... 111.488323: tracing_mark_write: top buffer Not only did the snapshot occur in the top level buffer, but the instance snapshot buffer should have been allocated, and it is still free.
