Here's the steps to take. +# +# First, determine if function tracing is working with a single function: +# +# (note, if this is a problem with function_graph tracing, then simply +# replace "function" with "function_graph" in the following steps). +# +# # cd /sys/kernel/tracing +# # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter +# # echo function > current_tracer +# +# If this works, then we know that something is being traced that shouldn't be. +# +# # echo nop > current_tracer +# +# Starting with v5.1 this can be done with numbers, making it much faster: +# +# The old (slow) way, for kernels before v5.1. +# +# [old-way] # cat available_filter_functions > ~/full-file +# +# [old-way] *** Note *** this process will take several minutes to update the +# [old-way] filters. Setting multiple functions is an O(n^2) operation, and we +# [old-way] are dealing with thousands of functions. So go have coffee, talk +# [old-way] with your coworkers, read facebook. And eventually, this operation +# [old-way] will end. +# +# The new way (using numbers) is an O(n) operation, and usually takes less than a second. +# +# seq `wc -l available_filter_functions | cut -d' ' -f1` > ~/full-file +# +# This will create a sequence of numbers that match the functions in +# available_filter_functions, and when echoing in a number into the +# set_ftrace_filter file, it will enable the corresponding function in +# O(1) time.
