Ftrace uses the debugfs file system to hold the control files as
well as the files to display output.
-To mount the debugfs system:
+When debugfs is configured into the kernel (which selecting any ftrace
+option will do) the directory /sys/kernel/debug will be created. To mount
+this directory, you can add to your /etc/fstab file:
+
+ debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs defaults 0 0
+
+Or you can mount it at run time with:
+
+ mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
- # mkdir /debug
- # mount -t debugfs nodev /debug
+For quicker access to that directory you may want to make a soft link to
+it:
-( Note: it is more common to mount at /sys/kernel/debug, but for
- simplicity this document will use /debug)
+ ln -s /sys/kernel/debug /debug
+
+Any selected ftrace option will also create a directory called tracing
+within the debugfs. The rest of the document will assume that you are in
+the ftrace directory (cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing) and will only concentrate
+on the files within that directory and not distract from the content with
+the extended "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing" path name.

Check that the driver you are about to trace is not loaded.
Activate mmiotrace (requires root privileges):
-$ echo mmiotrace > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+$ echo mmiotrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
Start storing the trace:
-$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt &
+$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt &
The 'cat' process should stay running (sleeping) in the background.
Load the driver you want to trace and use it. Mmiotrace will only catch MMIO
accesses to areas that are ioremapped while mmiotrace is active.
During tracing you can place comments (markers) into the trace by
-$ echo "X is up" > /debug/tracing/trace_marker
+$ echo "X is up" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker
This makes it easier to see which part of the (huge) trace corresponds to
which action. It is recommended to place descriptive markers about what you
do.
Shut down mmiotrace (requires root privileges):
-$ echo nop > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+$ echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
The 'cat' process exits. If it does not, kill it by issuing 'fg' command and
pressing ctrl+c.
