- Make buffer_percent read/write. The buffer_percent file is how users can state how long to block on the tracing buffer depending on how much is in the buffer. When it hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the task waiting on the buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only. This was not noticed because testing was done as root without SELinux, but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it without having CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE. - The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the reasons for adding it was not implemented. That was to show what functions were not only touched, but had either a direct trampoline attached to it, or a kprobe or live kernel patching that can "hijack" the function to run a different function. The point is to know if there's functions in the kernel that may not be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can be used for debugging. TODO: Add this information to kernel oops too. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZFUcrxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qgOoAP0U2R6+jvA2ehQFb0UTCH9wEu2uEELA g2CkdPNdn6wJjAD+O1+v5nVkqSpsArjHOhv5OGYrgh+VSXK3Z8EpQ9vUVgg= =nfoh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Make buffer_percent read/write.
