[PATCH 0/2][GIT PULL] tracing/filters: adjustements for strings

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Sat May 02 2009 - 21:50:47 EST


Hi,

The following patchset includes two little peas of features
for tracing filters, making them able to filter every kind of strings.

Now I can do this:

cd /debug/tracing
echo > trace
echo stacktrace > trace_options

cd events/lockdep
echo 'name == "&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock" && wait_usec > 0' > lock_acquired/filter

echo 1 > lock_acquired/enable
sleep 1
echo 0 > lock_acquired/enable

cat trace

# tracer: nop
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
<...>-6464 [000] 327.448232: lock_acquired: &REISERFS_SB(s)->lock (25058.984 us)
<...>-6464 [000] 327.448233:
<= reiserfs_get_block
<= __block_prepare_write
<= block_write_begin
<= reiserfs_write_begin
<= generic_file_buffered_write
<= __generic_file_aio_write_nolock
<= generic_file_aio_write
<...>-6470 [000] 327.448422: lock_acquired: &REISERFS_SB(s)->lock (25112.702 us)
<...>-6470 [000] 327.448425:
<= reiserfs_update_sd_size
<= reiserfs_write_end
<= generic_file_buffered_write
<= __generic_file_aio_write_nolock
<= generic_file_aio_write
<= do_sync_write
<= reiserfs_file_write


Tom, your filter framework is awesome and very useful!
Thanks :-)

Frederic.
