For some error conditions encountered when invoking a hist trigger
command, extended error information is available via the
- corresponding event's 'hist' file. Reading the hist file after an
- error will display more detailed information about what went wrong,
- if information is available. This extended error information will
- be available until the next hist trigger command for that event.
-
- If available for a given error condition, the extended error
- information and usage takes the following form::
-
- # echo xxx > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
