Since the only one hist trigger can be set on one event, it seems
that we don't need keys for pause/cont/clear (e.g. hist:pause is enough).
Anyway, I've found an odd behavior.
[root@...alhost tracing]# echo 'hist:keys=parent_pid' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
[root@...alhost tracing]# echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:pause' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
[root@...alhost tracing]# cat events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
hist:keys=parent_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [paused]
So, the second "pause" command can work with different keys.
Moreover, I can remove it with different keys.
[root@...alhost tracing]# echo '!hist:keys=child_pid' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
[root@...alhost tracing]# cat events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
# Available triggers:
# traceon traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event enable_hist disable_hist hist
Thank you,
