[PATCH 1/2] tracing: add support for userspace stacktraces in tracing/iter_ctrl
From: TÃrÃk Edwin
Date: Sat Nov 22 2008 - 06:29:27 EST
Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature
Usage example:
mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
echo sched_switch >current_tracer
echo 1 >tracing_enabled
.... run application ...
echo 0 >tracing_enabled
Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'.
To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with
frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).
