help
Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function. This is done
by using a compiler feature to insert a small, 5-byte No-Operation
instruction at the beginning of every kernel function, which NOP
sequence is then dynamically patched into a tracer call when
tracing is enabled by the administrator. If it's runtime disabled
(the bootup default), then the overhead of the instructions is very
small and not measurable even in micro-benchmarks.
config FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
bool "Kernel Function Graph Tracer"
depends on HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
depends on FUNCTION_TRACER
depends on !X86_32 || !CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
default y
help
Enable the kernel to trace a function at both its return
and its entry.
Its first purpose is to trace the duration of functions and
draw a call graph for each thread with some information like
the return value. This is done by setting the current return
address on the current task structure into a stack of calls.
config DYNAMIC_FTRACE
bool "enable/disable function tracing dynamically"
depends on FUNCTION_TRACER
depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
default y
help
This option will modify all the calls to function tracing
dynamically (will patch them out of the binary image and
replace them with a No-Op instruction) on boot up. During
compile time, a table is made of all the locations that ftrace
can function trace, and this table is linked into the kernel
image. When this is enabled, functions can be individually
enabled, and the functions not enabled will not affect
performance of the system.
See the files in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing:
available_filter_functions
set_ftrace_filter
set_ftrace_notrace
This way a CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER kernel is slightly larger, but
otherwise has native performance as long as no tracing is active.

config FUNCTION_PROFILER
bool "Kernel function profiler"
depends on FUNCTION_TRACER
default n
help
This option enables the kernel function profiler. A file is created
in debugfs called function_profile_enabled which defaults to zero.
When a 1 is echoed into this file profiling begins, and when a
zero is entered, profiling stops. A "functions" file is created in
the trace_stat directory; this file shows the list of functions that
have been hit and their counters.
If in doubt, say N.
config STACK_TRACER
bool "Trace max stack"
depends on HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER
select FUNCTION_TRACER
select STACKTRACE
select KALLSYMS
help
This special tracer records the maximum stack footprint of the
kernel and displays it in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace.
This tracer works by hooking into every function call that the
kernel executes, and keeping a maximum stack depth value and
stack-trace saved. If this is configured with DYNAMIC_FTRACE
then it will not have any overhead while the stack tracer
is disabled.
To enable the stack tracer on bootup, pass in 'stacktrace'
on the kernel command line.
The stack tracer can also be enabled or disabled via the
sysctl kernel.stack_tracer_enabled
Say N if unsure.

config HWLAT_TRACER
bool "Tracer to detect hardware latencies (like SMIs)"
select GENERIC_TRACER
select TRACER_MAX_TRACE
help
This tracer, when enabled will create one or more kernel threads,
depending on what the cpumask file is set to, which each thread
spinning in a loop looking for interruptions caused by
something other than the kernel. For example, if a
System Management Interrupt (SMI) takes a noticeable amount of
time, this tracer will detect it. This is useful for testing
if a system is reliable for Real Time tasks.
Some files are created in the tracing directory when this
is enabled:
hwlat_detector/width - time in usecs for how long to spin for
hwlat_detector/window - time in usecs between the start of each
iteration
A kernel thread is created that will spin with interrupts disabled
for "width" microseconds in every "window" cycle. It will not spin
for "window - width" microseconds, where the system can
continue to operate.
The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.
When the tracer is not running, it has no affect on the system,
but when it is running, it can cause the system to be
periodically non responsive. Do not run this tracer on a
production system.
To enable this tracer, echo in "hwlat" into the current_tracer
file. Every time a latency is greater than tracing_thresh, it will
be recorded into the ring buffer.
config OSNOISE_TRACER
bool "OS Noise tracer"
select GENERIC_TRACER
select TRACER_MAX_TRACE
help
In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating
System Noise (osnoise) refers to the interference experienced by an
application due to activities inside the operating system. In the
context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread
can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can
also cause noise, for example, via SMIs.
The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar
loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all
the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise tracer takes
note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences,
increasing a per-cpu interference counter. It saves an interference
counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for
NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool
observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens
without any interference from the operating system level, the
hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related
noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of
interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints
the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU
available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources.
In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to
facilitate the identification of the osnoise source.
The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.
To enable this tracer, echo in "osnoise" into the current_tracer
file.
config TIMERLAT_TRACER
bool "Timerlat tracer"
select OSNOISE_TRACER
select GENERIC_TRACER
help
The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers
to find sources of wakeup latencies of real-time threads.
The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority.
The tracer thread sets a periodic timer to wakeup itself, and goes
to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread
then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between
the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set
to expire.
The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the
timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the
activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed
by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The
ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its
respective thread execution.
The tracer is build on top of osnoise tracer, and the osnoise:
events can be used to trace the source of interference from NMI,
IRQs and other threads. It also enables the capture of the
stacktrace at the IRQ context, which helps to identify the code
path that can cause thread delay.

After which, only the tracing buffer for CPU 2 was swapped with
the main tracing buffer, and the other CPU buffers remain the same.
When this is enabled, this adds a little more overhead to the
trace recording, as it needs to add some checks to synchronize
recording with swaps. But this does not affect the performance
of the overall system. This is enabled by default when the preempt

config TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK
bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
help
This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_resched() to let other tasks
run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
"START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.
An example of the output:
START

config TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE
bool "Show eval mappings for trace events"
depends on TRACING
help
The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum/sizeof names
instead of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools
that use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
how to convert the string to its value.
To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
to convert an enum/sizeof into its value. If this macro is used, then
the print fmt strings will be converted to their values.
If something does not get converted properly, this option can be
used to show what enums/sizeof the kernel tried to convert.
This option is for debugging the conversions. A file is created
in the tracing directory called "eval_map" that will show the
names matched with their values and what trace event system they
belong too.
Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after
boot up or module load. With this option, they will not be freed, as
they are needed for the "eval_map" file. Enabling this option will
increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.
