[PATCH 5.4,4.19 2/2] tracing: Increase PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE to handle Sentinel1 and docker together

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Robin H. Johnson" <robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e531e90b5ab0f7ce5ff298e165214c1aec6ed187 upstream.

Running endpoint security solutions like Sentinel1 that use perf-based
tracing heavily lead to this repeated dump complaining about dockerd.
The default value of 2048 is nowhere near not large enough.

Using the prior patch "tracing: show size of requested buffer", we get
"perf buffer not large enough, wanted 6644, have 6144", after repeated
up-sizing (I did 2/4/6/8K). With 8K, the problem doesn't occur at all,
so below is the trace for 6K.

I'm wondering if this value should be selectable at boot time, but this
is a good starting point.

```
