Thanks, Steve.

Understood.

I will add:

  /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_stats/total_memory_kb

The file will report:

  total:
  buffers_mem:
  snapshot_buffers_mem:

The values will cover the main and snapshot buffers of the global trac= e
array and all tracing instances across all tracing CPUs.

For the per-CPU view, I will follow the existing tracefs layout and ad= d:

  /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_stats/per_cpu/cpuN/total_memory_kb

Each per-CPU file will report only the corresponding CPU's buffers
across the global trace array and all tracing instances.

Thanks,
Xiang

You can rename the above to:

   total:
   buffers_mem:
   snapshot_buffers_mem:

No need to use "ring" and it keeps consistent with "buffer_s= ize_kb".

I added the "mem" part to distinguish the difference between thes= e numbers
and the buffer_size_kb, as these numbers are about total memory whereas
the "buffer_size_kb" is about usable memory.

There's already a total for all memory listed. We don't need to have a
total for the "live" and "snapshot".

Agreed, this file should exist in the cpuN/ directories and be only for
those instances.

Right. I would expect additional items to be added here.

Yes, thanks for doing this.
