Subject: [PATCH v6 1/2] trace-cmd library: Use the real trace buffer page size
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2022 11:57:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220126095735.571222-2-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220126095735.571222-1-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com>

When new output handler is created, it assumes that the trace buffer page
size is equal to the system memory page size. This assumption is valid
for the current ftrace implementation, but it may change in the future.
The newly introduced traceevent library API should be used to get the
real trace buffer page size, bases on the information from the
"events/header_page" ftrace file.

This commit depends on:
 [PATCH] libtraceevent: A new API for trace page size
