Subject: ftrace_graph_filter not working correctly since v4.10.0
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:45:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1488419151.7212.15.camel@linux.intel.com> (raw)
I've been using early boot trace to gather callgraph data on filtered
functions but something appears to have broken it in v10.0. The graph
trace worked fine in v4.10-rc8, so something changed since the release.
Issue:
Using the ftrace_graph_filter kernel parameter to filter on a specific
function produces no data (msleep for instance). The graph trace also
continues to produce nothing even after reconfiguring it through
debugfs. It worked fine in v4.10-rc8 but fails in v4.10.
To reproduce:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="initcall_debug \
log_buf_len=32M \
trace_options=nooverwrite,\
funcgraph-abstime,\
funcgraph-cpu,\
funcgraph-duration,\
funcgraph-proc,\
funcgraph-tail,\
nofuncgraph-overhead,\
context-info,\
graph-time \
ftrace=function_graph \
ftrace_graph_filter=msleep"
The trace output is this:
# tracer: function_graph
#
# TIME CPU TASK/PID DURATION
FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | | |
| |
After boot you can also run analyze_suspend to capture a callgraph and
it fails to get any callgraph data. It still gets trace marker data, but
not callgraph.
# suspend-030117-172549 ivybridge mem 4.10.0+
# fwsuspend 0 fwresume 0

# | | | | | | | |

688.260093 | 0) analyze-1713 | | /*

708.279172 | 2) analyze-1713 | | /*

708.282884 | 0) analyze-1713 | | /*

708.282888 | 0) analyze-1713 | | /*
suspend_resume: freeze_processes[0] end */
708.374517 | 0) analyze-1713 | | /* RESUME
COMPLETE */
It seems to work ok if I don't set the ftrace_graph_filter. Has
something changed in the kernel params that I missed?
I'll dig a but further to see if I can track down the specific commit,
but I just wanted to see if anyone else experienced this.
