Subject: [PATCH 5/5] tracing: Sample module to demonstrate kernel access to Ftrace instances.
This is a sample module to demonstrate the use of the newly introduced and
exported APIs to access Ftrace instances from within the kernel.
Newly introduced APIs used here -
1. Create/Lookup a trace array with the given name.
struct trace_array *trace_array_get_by_name(const char *name)
2. Destroy/Remove a trace array.
int trace_array_destroy(struct trace_array *tr)
4. Enable/Disable trace events:
int trace_array_set_clr_event(struct trace_array *tr, const char *system,
const char *event, bool enable);
Exported APIs -
1. trace_printk equivalent for instances.
int trace_array_printk(struct trace_array *tr,
unsigned long ip, const char *fmt, ...);
2. Helper function.
void trace_printk_init_buffers(void);
3. To decrement the reference counter.
void trace_array_put(struct trace_array *tr)
Sample output(contents of /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/sample-instance)
NOTE: Tracing disabled after ~5 sec)
