The desired information is specified after the format string. +The _fmt_ is printf-like format string, following arguments are supported: +[verse] +-- + TEP_PRINT_PID, "%d" - PID of the event. + TEP_PRINT_CPU, "%d" - Event CPU. + TEP_PRINT_COMM, "%s" - Event command string. + TEP_PRINT_NAME, "%s" - Event name. + TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, "%s" - Latency of the event. It prints 4 or more + fields - interrupt state, scheduling state, + current context, and preemption count. + Field 1 is the interrupt enabled state: + d : Interrupts are disabled + . : Interrupts are enabled + X : The architecture does not support this + information + Field 2 is the "need resched" state. + N : The task is set to call the scheduler when + possible, as another higher priority task + may need to be scheduled in. + . : The task is not set to call the scheduler. + Field 3 is the context state. + . : Normal context + s : Soft interrupt context + h : Hard interrupt context + H : Hard interrupt context which triggered + during soft interrupt context. + z : NMI context + Z : NMI context which triggered during hard + interrupt context + Field 4 is the preemption count. + . : The preempt count is zero. + On preemptible kernels (where the task can be scheduled + out in arbitrary locations while in kernel context), the + preempt count, when non zero, will prevent the kernel + from scheduling out the current task. The preempt count + number is displayed when it is not zero. + Depending on the kernel, it may show other fields + (lock depth, or migration disabled, which are unique to + specialized kernels). + TEP_PRINT_TIME, %d - event time stamp.
