One other option is to bring back the old behavior: echo 1 > options/pause-on-trace Which will stop tracing as the trace file is read. But either way works for me. -- Steve > > Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> > --- > .../ftrace/test.d/ftrace/func_profiler.tc | 3 +++ > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/ftrace/func_profiler.tc b/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/ftrace/func_profiler.tc > index 1dbd766c0cd2..440f4d87aa4b 100644 > --- a/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/ftrace/func_profiler.tc > +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/ftrace/func_profiler.tc > @@ -56,6 +56,9 @@ clear_trace > sleep 1 > > echo "make sure something other than scheduler is being traced" > + > +echo 0 > tracing_on > + > if ! grep -v -e '^#' -e 'schedule' trace > /dev/null; then > cat trace > fail "no other functions besides schedule was found"

Stop tracing before searching the pattern which is expected to not exist on the trace buffer. In some case, it will take too long and may not come back eternally because while searching the tracing data will be increased by the searching activity. I found this with enabling kernel debug options, like kmemleak, lockdep etc. and run it on qemu with 2 CPUs. It did not come back in 20 minutes and finally I need to interrupt it to stop.
