From ced39002f5ea736b716ae233fb68b26d59783912 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:51:52 +0100 Subject: ftrace, perf: Add support to use function tracepoint in perf Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event, so it is now possible to register it via perf interface. The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered in open/close actions. To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers). This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running. Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops. It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands like: perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf stat -e ftrace:function ls Allowed only for root.
