How to show hda trace events in a self-built kernel?

How to show hda trace events in a self-built kernel?

[Lin, Mengdong]

Hi,

How to show hda trace events in a self-built kernel?

With a self-built kernel under Ubuntu 13.04 or 13.10, I enabled hda trace events by
#cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
#echo 1 > events/hda/enable
#echo 1 > events/had_intel/enable

Then I check the codec proc entry and run "cat trace". But I got no output of the hda trace events.

But I switch to the original kernel in Ubuntu 13.04 or 13.10 and repeat the above steps, I can get the output of hda trace events.

Thanks
Mengdong

Did you forget to do:
# echo 1 > tracing_on

You might also want to set current_tracer to something.

Otherwise I don't know what the problem can be.

Thanks, David!

tracing_on is '1' by default and current_tracer is 'nop', same for both kernels.

I also notice the 'net' trace event output is okay on the same kernel on which I cannot get hda trace event output.
