Alright, got it. The trace is in the file /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace I was checking for the messages in dmesg instead. My issue. Also, enabling all the events is probably not a good idea, on my system the file does not open after enabling all the events, my guess is that there are way to many tracepoints being hit and logged.

Yes, I am using that reference but since no tracepoints are being hit, it leaves me confused.

Hello,

I have compiled a pretty recent Linux kernel mostly basing the configuration on the older kernel.

I am now testing out the event tracing system but seem to be having a problem.

Having enabled all events with

# echo *:* > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event

As described here [1], I expect that dmesg shows me some traces but there aren't any. My dmesg logs are empty(just the same as with not having enabled the events).

What could I be missing? Am I checking the wrong place for the trace? Are there no tracepoints getting hit?

Any hits and pointers would be much appreciated.

Regards, David
