---------------------------------
The events which are available for tracing can be found in the file
-/debug/tracing/available_events.
+/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/available_events.
To enable a particular event, such as 'sched_wakeup', simply echo it
-to /debug/tracing/set_event. For example:
+to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event. For example:
- # echo sched_wakeup >> /debug/tracing/set_event
+ # echo sched_wakeup >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event
[ Note: '>>' is necessary, otherwise it will firstly disable
all the events. ]
To disable an event, echo the event name to the set_event file prefixed
with an exclamation point:
- # echo '!sched_wakeup' >> /debug/tracing/set_event
+ # echo '!sched_wakeup' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event
To disable all events, echo an empty line to the set_event file:
- # echo > /debug/tracing/set_event
+ # echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event
To enable all events, echo '*:*' or '*:' to the set_event file:
- # echo *:* > /debug/tracing/set_event
+ # echo *:* > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event
The events are organized into subsystems, such as ext4, irq, sched,
etc., and a full event name looks like this: <subsystem>:<event>. The
"<subsystem>:*"; for example, to enable all irq events, you can use the
command:
- # echo 'irq:*' > /debug/tracing/set_event
+ # echo 'irq:*' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event
2.2 Via the 'enable' toggle
---------------------------
-The events available are also listed in /debug/tracing/events/ hierarchy
+The events available are also listed in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/ hierarchy
of directories.
To enable event 'sched_wakeup':
- # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable
To disable it:
- # echo 0 > /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable
+ # echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable
To enable all events in sched subsystem:
- # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
To eanble all events:
- # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/enable
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
When reading one of these enable files, there are four results:
