[PATCH v7 05/10] tracing: add 'stacktrace' event trigger command

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Tue Aug 27 2013 - 15:42:44 EST


Add 'stacktrace' ftrace_func_command. stacktrace event triggers are
added by the user via this command in a similar way and using
practically the same syntax as the analogous 'stacktrace' ftrace
function command, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter
file, the stacktrace event trigger is written to the per-event
'trigger' files:

echo 'stacktrace' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger

The above command will turn on stacktraces for someevent i.e. whenever
someevent is hit, a stacktrace will be logged.

This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the
command will be invoked:

echo 'stacktrace:N' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger

Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked.

The above command will log N stacktraces for someevent i.e. whenever
someevent is hit N times, a stacktrace will be logged.
