Subject: [for-next][PATCH 3/9] rtla/timerlat_bpf: Allow resuming tracing
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 19:12:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250721231222.629918665@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250721231204.100737734@kernel.org
From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@redhat.com>
Currently, rtla-timerlat BPF program uses a global variable stored in a
.bss section to store whether tracing has been stopped.
Move the information to a separate map, so that it is easily writable
from userspace, and add a function that clears the value, resuming
tracing after it has been stopped.
