From bc21b478425ac73f66a5ec0b375a5e0d12d609ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 19:49:26 -0400 Subject: tracing: Show the lost events in the trace_pipe output Now that the ring buffer can keep track of where events are lost. Use this information to the output of trace_pipe: hackbench-3588 [001] 1326.701660: lock_acquire: ffffffff816591e0 read rcu_read_lock hackbench-3588 [001] 1326.701661: lock_acquire: ffff88003f4091f0 &(&dentry->d_lock)->rlock hackbench-3588 [001] 1326.701664: lock_release: ffff88003f4091f0 &(&dentry->d_lock)->rlock CPU:1 [LOST 673 EVENTS] hackbench-3588 [001] 1326.702711: kmem_cache_free: call_site=ffffffff81102b85 ptr=ffff880026d96738 hackbench-3588 [001] 1326.702712: lock_release: ffff88003e1480a8 &mm->mmap_sem hackbench-3588 [001] 1326.702713: lock_acquire: ffff88003e1480a8 &mm->mmap_sem Even works with the function graph tracer: 2) ! 170.098 us | } 2) 4.036 us | rcu_irq_exit(); 2) 3.657 us | idle_cpu(); 2) ! 190.301 us | } CPU:2 [LOST 2196 EVENTS] 2) 0.853 us | } /* cancel_dirty_page */ 2) | remove_from_page_cache() { 2) 1.578 us | _raw_spin_lock_irq(); 2) | __remove_from_page_cache() { Note, it does not work with the iterator "trace" file, since it requires the use of consuming the page from the ring buffer to determine how many events were lost, which the iterator does not do.
