[ Upstream commit b889b4fb4cbea3ca7eb9814075d6a51936394bd9 ]

The func_traceonoff_triggers.tc sometimes goes to fail
on my board, Kunpeng-920.

[root@localhost]# ./ftracetest ./test.d/ftrace/func_traceonoff_triggers.tc -l fail.log
=== Ftrace unit tests ===
[1] ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [FAIL]
[2] (instance) ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [UNSUPPORTED]

I look up the log, and it shows that the md5sum is different between csum1 and csum2.

++ cnt=611
++ sleep .1
+++ cnt_trace
+++ grep -v '^#' trace
+++ wc -l
++ cnt2=611
++ '[' 611 -ne 611 ']'
+++ cat tracing_on
++ on=0
++ '[' 0 '!=' 0 ']'
+++ md5sum trace
++ csum1='76896aa74362fff66a6a5f3cf8a8a500 trace'
++ sleep .1
+++ md5sum trace
++ csum2='ee8625a21c058818fc26e45c1ed3f6de trace'
++ '[' '76896aa74362fff66a6a5f3cf8a8a500 trace' '!=' 'ee8625a21c058818fc26e45c1ed3f6de trace' ']'
++ fail 'Tracing file is still changing'
++ echo Tracing file is still changing
Tracing file is still changing
++ exit_fail
++ exit 1

So I directly dump the trace file before md5sum, the diff shows that:

[root@localhost]# diff trace_1.log trace_2.log -y --suppress-common-lines
dockerd-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510290: sched_stat | <...>-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510290: sched_stat
dockerd-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510291: sched_swit | <...>-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510291: sched_swit

<...>-740 [044] d.... 18385.602860: sched_swit | kworker/44:1-740 [044] d.... 18385.602860: sched_swit

And we can see that <...> filed be filled with names.

We can strip off the names there to fix that.

After strip off the names:

kworker/u257:0-12 [019] d..2. 2528.758910: sched_stat | -12 [019] d..2. 2528.758910: sched_stat_runtime: comm=k
