From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" The reset_trigger() function breaks up the command by a space ' '. This is useful to ignore the '[active]' word for triggers when removing them. But if the trigger has a filter (ie. "if prio < 10") then the filter needs to be attached to the line that is written into the trigger file to remove it. But the truncation removes the filter and the triggers are not cleared properly. Before, reset_trigger() did this: # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid if prev_prio < 10' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid if next_prio < 10' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger # cat events/sched/sched_switch/trigger hist:keys=common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if prev_prio < 10 [active] hist:keys=common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if next_prio < 10 [active] reset_trigger() { echo '!hist:keys=common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger } # cat events/sched/sched_switch/trigger hist:keys=common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if prev_prio < 10 [active] hist:keys=common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if next_prio < 10 [active] After, where it includes the filter: reset_trigger() { echo '!hist:keys=common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if prev_prio < 10' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger } # cat events/sched/sched_switch/trigger hist:keys=common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if next_prio < 10 [active] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) --- tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/functions | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/functions b/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/functions index 8393b1c06027..e4645d5e3126 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/functions +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/functions @@ -19,13 +19,13 @@ reset_trigger_file() { # remove action triggers first grep -H ':on[^:]*(' $@ | while read line; do - cmd=`echo $line | cut -f2- -d: | cut -f1 -d" "` + cmd=`echo $line | cut -f2- -d: | cut -f1 -d"["` file=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d:` echo "!$cmd" >> $file done grep -Hv ^# $@ | while read line; do - cmd=`echo $line | cut -f2- -d: | cut -f1 -d" "` + cmd=`echo $line | cut -f2- -d: | cut -f1 -d"["` file=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d:` echo "!$cmd" > $file done -- 2.17.0
