![]() - The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file. The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to just disable writes to the ring buffer. This came to a surprise to the BPF folks who complained about lost events due to reading. This is no longer an issue. If someone wants to keep the old disabling there's a new option "pause-on-trace" that can be set. - New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be traced by the function tracer. Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the function tracer only trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the set_ftrace_notrace_pid does the reverse. - New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID. Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced. Note, sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be trace if one of the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that is allowed to be traced. Tracing related features: - New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file. If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file is searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end. - New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman) Other minor updates and fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCXokgWRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qgrHAP0UkKs/52JY4oWa3OIh/OqK+vnCrIwz zGvDFOYM0fKbwgD9FZWgzlcaYK5m2Cxlhp4VoraZveHMLJUhnEHtdX6X0wk= =Rebj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New tracing features: - The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.
