hi,
i'm trying to trace a possible latency issue using ftrace with a
2.6.27 kernel on a x86 platform, but there seems to be something that
i'm missing
i do the following:
cat available_tracers
wakeup preemptirqsoff preemptoff irqsoff ftrace sched_switch none
echo 0 > tracing_enabled
echo irqsoff > current_tracer
echo 1 > tracing_enabled
<do stuff>
echo 0 > tracing_enabled
cat latency_trace
# tracer: irqsoff
#
cat trace
# tracer: irqsoff
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
cat tracing_max_latency
-1
i tried it also with preemptoff and preemptirqsoff, with the same
result. the 'ftrace' tracer works as expected (ftrace is quite
impressive btw)
any clue what i am doing wrong?
