[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 4/5] xen: add per-cpu buffer option to debugtrace
debugtrace is normally writing trace entries into a single trace
buffer. There are cases where this is not optimal, e.g. when hunting
a bug which requires writing lots of trace entries and one cpu is
stuck. This will result in other cpus filling the trace buffer and
finally overwriting the interesting trace entries of the hanging cpu.
In order to be able to debug such situations add the capability to use
per-cpu trace buffers. This can be selected by specifying the
debugtrace boot parameter with the modifier "cpu:", like:
debugtrace=cpu:16
At the same time switch the parsing function to accept size modifiers
(e.g. 4M or 1G).
Printing out the trace entries is done for each buffer in order to
minimize the effort needed during printing. As each entry is prefixed
with its sequence number sorting the entries can easily be done when
analyzing them.

V2:
- only allocate buffer if not already done so
V4:
- unsigned int -> unsigned long (Jan Beulich)
- replace check for bytes < PAGE_SIZE by !bytes (Jan Beulich)
- print info which buffer allocation failed (Jan Beulich)
- replace switch by if in cpu notifier handler (Jan Beulich)
V5:
- don't silently ignore trailing characters when parsing buffer size
(Jan Beulich)
- limit scope of some variables (Jan Beulich)
- adjust error message format (Jan Beulich)
V6:
- move calculation of final debugtrace_bytes value to parameter parsing
