Usage
-----
-Make sure debugfs is mounted to /debug. If not, (requires root privileges)
-$ mount -t debugfs debugfs /debug
+Make sure debugfs is mounted to /sys/kernel/debug. If not, (requires root privileges)
+$ mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
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.
