Subject: [PATCH v2] ftrace/selftest: Test combination of function_graph tracer and function profiler
Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2024 14:56:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241004145618.18436d7e@gandalf.local.home> (raw)

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Masami reported a bug when running function graph tracing then the
function profiler. The following commands would cause a kernel crash:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # echo function_graph > current_tracer
  # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled

In that order. Create a test to test this two to make sure this does not
come back as a regression.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20240821150903.05c6cf96@gandalf.local.home

- Added comment to why we are doing a sleep 1

- Now that the fix is in mainline, we can add this to the selftests
