Allow Ftrace, Perf, and LTTng to hook on the irqsoff tracer and trace
irqsoff and preemptoff critical sections.
How to setup the irqsoff tracer for this use-case (needed for use with
Ftrace, Perf, or LTTng): if the tracing_thresh value is set, all
durations beyond the specified threshold will emit a
"core_critical_timing_hit" tracepoint. If unset, then the max duration
will be tracked. The current max duration can be reset using the
tracing_max_latency file.
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/function-trace # don't need function tracing
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/ftrace-buffer
echo preemptirqsoff > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh # set threshold (e.g. 2 µs)
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
The following two commands can also be useful to tweak the
irqsoff tracer:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency # reset max latency
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh # disable threshold
*** An example usage of Ftrace hooking on this tracepoint: ***
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/core/core_critical_timing_hit/enable
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

[17:34:17.090669588] (+1.569689755) compudjdev core_critical_timing_hit: { cpu_id = 3 }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81102135, parent_ip = 0xFFFFFFFFA0798E13, delta_ns = 252994, irqs_disabled = 0, preempt_disabled = 1, in_softirq = 0, in_irq = 0, in_nmi = 0 }
Tracepoints core_critical_timing_start and core_critical_timing_stop are
also available. They trigger at a much higher rate than
core_critical_timing_hit.
