39 | Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function. This is done | |
40 | by using a compiler feature to insert a small, 5-byte No-Operation | |
41 | instruction to the beginning of every kernel function, which NOP | |
42 | sequence is then dynamically patched into a tracer call when | |
43 | tracing is enabled by the administrator. If it's runtime disabled | |
44 | (the bootup default), then the overhead of the instructions is very | |
45 | small and not measurable even in micro-benchmarks. | |

128 | help | |
129 | This tracer helps developers to optimize boot times: it records | |
130 | the timings of the initcalls. Its aim is to be parsed by the | |
131 | /scripts/bootgraph.pl tool to produce pretty graphics about | |
132 | boot inefficiencies, giving a visual representation of the | |
3ce2b920 FW |
133 | delays during initcalls. Note that tracers self tests can't |
134 | be enabled if this tracer is selected since only one tracer | |
135 | should touch the tracing buffer at a time. | |

153 | help | |
154 | This option will modify all the calls to ftrace dynamically | |
155 | (will patch them out of the binary image and replaces them | |
156 | with a No-Op instruction) as they are called. A table is | |
157 | created to dynamically enable them again. | |
158 | ||
159 | This way a CONFIG_FTRACE kernel is slightly larger, but otherwise | |
160 | has native performance as long as no tracing is active. | |
161 | ||
162 | The changes to the code are done by a kernel thread that | |
163 | wakes up once a second and checks to see if any ftrace calls | |
164 | were made. If so, it runs stop_machine (stops all CPUS) | |
165 | and modifies the code to jump over the call to ftrace. | |
