From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 01b2a52171735c6eea80ee2f355f32bea6c41418 upstream. If a process is waiting on the ring buffer for data, there currently isn't a clean way to force it to wake up. Add an ioctl call that will force any tasks that are waiting on the trace_pipe_raw file to wake up.
