Linux调试工具之：ftrace

Function Trace (ftrace) is a heavy feature that intensely uses CPU resources to produce the  results. Ftrace uses the frysk engine to trace system calls in a manner similar to strace。

1.预备编译kenrel

Kernel hacking → Tracers → Kernel Function Tracer

例如高通平台的编译

# source build/envsetup.sh

# choosecombo 1 1 msm8960 3

# make kernelconfig

2.设置，使用新的Kernel与Android rootfs启动后

2.1挂载调试的文件系统到sdcard

# mount -t debugfs nodev /mnt/sdcard/debug

2.2 调试文件列表

# ls /mnt/sdcard/debug/tracing

2.3 打印available_tracers

# cat mnt/sdcard/debug/tracing/available_tracers

2.4 使能需要监控

# echo function > /mnt/sdcard/debug/tracing/current_trace

# echo 1 > /mnt/sdcard/debug/tracing/tracing_on

2.5 检查是否打开

# cat /mnt/sdcard/debug/tracing/current_tracer

2.6 查看

# cat /mnt/sdcard/debug/tracing/trace

=================================

通过PID查询进程

# echo <pid> > mnt/sdcard/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid

禁止

echo -1 > set_ftrace_pid
