Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] selftests/ftrace: Add kernel cmdline tracing testcases
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:34:46 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178646248625.428104.6475014420560529192.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178646245730.428104.4400499381224001727.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Add test cases for kernel command-line tracing options. It verifies
various parameters like trace_buf_size and trace_options by reading
the output of tracing files in sysfs.
Assisted-by: Antigravity:gemini-3.6-flash

Changes in v2:
- Fix buffer_size_kb parsing in cmdline-03-trace-buf-size.sh to handle
unexpanded buffer string output '1 (expanded: 2048)'.
- Use grep -qw in cmdline-04-trace-options.sh to match word options
and avoid matching disabled 'no<option>' entries.
