Description

The trace script automates the process of enabling named sets of tracepoints and dumping the trace file over the SSH connection, then cleaning up after itself.

Usage

To run:

Usage: ./trace [USER@]HOST EVENTSET [EVENTSET...]

Valid EVENTSETs: fsi, occ, sbefifo, timer, sched

To stop the trace output and disable the tracepoints, hit Return.

For example, capturing the defined tracepoints for the sched event set:

$ ./trace root@my-bmc sched
+ set -eou pipefail
+ set -x
+ EVENT_fsi='fsi fsi_master_gpio'
+ EVENT_occ='occ hwmon_occ'
+ EVENT_sbefifo=sbefifo
+ EVENT_timer='timer/timer_start timer/timer_cancel timer/timer_expire_entry timer/timer_expire_exit'
+ EVENT_sched='sched/sched_switch sched/sched_wakeup sched/sched_wakeup_new sched/sched_waking'
+ trap on_exit EXIT
+ CAT_PID=1867
+ for elem in sched
+ eval 'trace=\${EVENT_${elem}}'
++ trace='${EVENT_sched}'
++ eval echo '${EVENT_sched}'
+++ echo sched/sched_switch sched/sched_wakeup sched/sched_wakeup_new sched/sched_waking
