237	help
238	 This tracer, when enabled will create one or more kernel threads,
239	 depending on what the cpumask file is set to, which each thread
240	 spinning in a loop looking for interruptions caused by
241	 something other than the kernel. For example, if a
242	 System Management Interrupt (SMI) takes a noticeable amount of
243	 time, this tracer will detect it. This is useful for testing
244	 if a system is reliable for Real Time tasks.
245
246	 Some files are created in the tracing directory when this
247	 is enabled:
248
249	   hwlat_detector/width   - time in usecs for how long to spin for
250	   hwlat_detector/window  - time in usecs between the start of each
251				     iteration
252
253	 A kernel thread is created that will spin with interrupts disabled
254	 for "width" microseconds in every "window" cycle. It will not spin
255	 for "window - width" microseconds, where the system can
256	 continue to operate.
257
258	 The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.
259
260	 When the tracer is not running, it has no affect on the system,
261	 but when it is running, it can cause the system to be
262	 periodically non responsive. Do not run this tracer on a
263	 production system.
264
265	 To enable this tracer, echo in "hwlat" into the current_tracer

267	 be recorded into the ring buffer.

288	select TRACER_MAX_TRACE
289	help
290	  Allow tracing users to take snapshot of the current buffer using the

301	  Allow doing a snapshot of a single CPU buffer instead of a
302	  full swap (all buffers). If this is set, then the following is
303	  allowed:
304
305	      echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu2/snapshot
306
307	  After which, only the tracing buffer for CPU 2 was swapped with
308	  the main tracing buffer, and the other CPU buffers remain the same.
309
310	  When this is enabled, this adds a little more overhead to the
311	  trace recording, as it needs to add some checks to synchronize
312	  recording with swaps. But this does not affect the performance
313	  of the overall system. This is enabled by default when the preempt
314	  or irq latency tracers are enabled, as those need to swap as well
315	  and already adds the overhead (plus a lot more).

407	  kernel executes, and keeping a maximum stack depth value and
408	  stack-trace saved.  If this is configured with DYNAMIC_FTRACE
409	  then it will not have any overhead while the stack tracer

604	tristate "Test module for mmiotrace"
605	depends on MMIOTRACE && m
606	help
607	  This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
608	  as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
609	  However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.
610
611	  Say N, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

613config TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK
614        bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
615	help
616	 This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
617	 When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
618	 goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
619	 run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
620	 it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
621	 data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
622	 will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
623	 The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
624	 to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
625	 "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
626	 write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
627
628	 As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
629	 we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.
630
631	 An example of the output:
632
633	      START
634	      first=3672 [COLD CACHED]
635	      last=632 first=3672 max=632 min=632 avg=316 std=446 std^2=199712
636	      last=278 first=3672 max=632 min=278 avg=303 std=316 std^2=100337
637	      last=277 first=3672 max=632 min=277 avg=296 std=258 std^2=67064
638	      last=273 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=292 std=224 std^2=50411
639	      last=273 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=288 std=200 std^2=40389

643config RING_BUFFER_BENCHMARK
644	tristate "Ring buffer benchmark stress tester"
645	depends on RING_BUFFER
646	help
647	  This option creates a test to stress the ring buffer and benchmark it.
648	  It creates its own ring buffer such that it will not interfere with
649	  any other users of the ring buffer (such as ftrace). It then creates
650	  a producer and consumer that will run for 10 seconds and sleep for
651	  10 seconds. Each interval it will print out the number of events
652	  it recorded and give a rough estimate of how long each iteration took.
653
654	  It does not disable interrupts or raise its priority, so it may be
655	  affected by processes that are running.
656
657	  If unsure, say N.

659config RING_BUFFER_STARTUP_TEST
660       bool "Ring buffer startup self test"
661       depends on RING_BUFFER
662       help
663         Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the
664	 kernel boot sequence, the test will start that kicks off
665	 a thread per cpu. Each thread will write various size events
666	 into the ring buffer. Another thread is created to send IPIs
667	 to each of the threads, where the IPI handler will also write
668	 to the ring buffer, to test/stress the nesting ability.
669	 If any anomalies are discovered, a warning will be displayed
670	 and all ring buffers will be disabled.
671
672	 The test runs for 10 seconds. This will slow your boot time
673	 by at least 10 more seconds.
674
675	 At the end of the test, statics and more checks are done.
676	 It will output the stats of each per cpu buffer. What
677	 was written, the sizes, what was read, what was lost, and
678	 other similar details.

682config TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE
683       bool "Show eval mappings for trace events"
684       depends on TRACING
685       help
686	The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum/sizeof names
687	instead	of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools
688	that use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
689	how to convert the string to its value.
690
691	To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
692	to convert an enum/sizeof into its value. If this macro is used, then
693	the print fmt strings will be converted to their values.
694
695	If something does not get converted properly, this option can be
696	used to show what enums/sizeof the kernel tried to convert.
697
698	This option is for debugging the conversions. A file is created
699	in the tracing directory called "eval_map" that will show the
700	names matched with their values and what trace event system they
701	belong too.
702
703	Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after
704	boot up or module load. With this option, they will not be freed, as
705	they are needed for the "eval_map" file. Enabling this option will
706	increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.

708	If unsure, say N
