Thanks, Steve. Virtually, what I want is:
tracing_on(1), snapshort, traces..., snapshot, tracing_on(0). If I understand right, I need the new feature "snapshot" in ftrace. But, it seems snapshot and ftrace are separated, which does not satisfy my need. What is your suggestion?

You can use the new "snapshot" feature (available since 3.10) and save the start and stop of a state without the need of tracing it. echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/snapshot cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/snapshot -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-trace-users" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-trace-users" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
