Need help with tracepoints
Hello, I am following trace/tracepoints.txt guide to add some tracepoints to already existing kernel module. I've created include/trace/events/mysubsys.h and added #include <trace/events/mysubsys.h> #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS DEFINE_TRACE(mysubsys_event1); EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL_GPL(mysubsys_event1); to the module sources. There are symbols *_mysubsys_event1 in module ko file. The issue is that I don't see my events in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events Not even ./mysubsys path here.
Hello Matwey, This doesn't answer your question, but did you take a look at perf and it's ability to do trace points? See this link: http://www.brendangregg.com/perf.html#Tracepoints On Sat, Apr 29, 2017 at 12:52 PM, Matwey V. Kornilov <matwey.kornilov@gmail.com> wrote:

See this link: http://www.brendangregg.com/perf.html#Tracepoints
I actually meant this one here: http://www.brendangregg.com/perf.html#DynamicTracingEg

Ok. I found. I had to use TRACE_EVENT() macro to use /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events interface
