+Introduction
+------------
+The tracing infrastructure can be very useful for debugging the Linux
+kernel. This document is a place to add various methods of using the tracer
+for debugging.
+
+First, make sure that the tracefs file system is mounted::
+
+ $ sudo mount -t tracefs tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing
+
+
+Using trace_printk()
+--------------------
+
+trace_printk() is a very lightweight utility that can be used in any context
+inside the kernel, with the exception of "noinstr" sections. It can be used
+in normal, softirq, interrupt and even NMI context. The trace data is
+written to the tracing ring buffer in a lockless way. To make it even
+lighter weight, when possible, it will only record the pointer to the format
+string, and save the raw arguments into the buffer. The format and the
+arguments will be post processed when the ring buffer is read. This way the
+trace_printk() format conversions are not done during the hot path, where
+the trace is being recorded.
+
+trace_printk() is meant only for debugging, and should never be added into
+a subsystem of the kernel. If you need debugging traces, add trace events
+instead. If a trace_printk() is found in the kernel, the following will
+appear in the dmesg::
+

+Debugging kernel crashes
+------------------------
+There is various methods of acquiring the state of the system when a kernel
+crash occurs. This could be from the oops message in printk, or one could
+use kexec/kdump. But these just show what happened at the time of the crash.
+It can be very useful in knowing what happened up to the point of the crash.
+The tracing ring buffer, by default, is a circular buffer that will
+overwrite older events with newer ones. When a crash happens, the content of
+the ring buffer will be all the events that lead up to the crash.
+
+There are several kernel command line parameters that can be used to help in
+this. The first is "ftrace_dump_on_oops". This will dump the tracing ring
+buffer when a oops occurs to the console. This can be useful if the console
+is being logged somewhere. If a serial console is used, it may be prudent to
+make sure the ring buffer is relatively small, otherwise the dumping of the
+ring buffer may take several minutes to hours to finish. Here's an example
+of the kernel command line::
+
+  ftrace_dump_on_oops trace_buf_size=50K
+
+Note, the tracing buffer is made up of per CPU buffers where each of these
+buffers is broken up into sub-buffers that are by default PAGE_SIZE. The
+above trace_buf_size option above sets each of the per CPU buffers to 50K,
+so, on a machine with 8 CPUs, that's actually 400K total.
+
+Persistent buffers across boots
+-------------------------------
+If the system memory allows it, the tracing ring buffer can be specified at
+a specific location in memory. If the location is the same across boots and
+the memory is not modified, the tracing buffer can be retrieved from the
+following boot. There's two ways to reserve memory for the use of the ring
+buffer.
+
+The more reliable way (on x86) is to reserve memory with the "memmap" kernel
+command line option and then use that memory for the trace_instance. This
+requires a bit of knowledge of the physical memory layout of the system. The
+advantage of using this method, is that the memory for the ring buffer will
+always be the same::
+
+  memmap==12M$0x284500000 trace_instance=boot_map@0x284500000:12M
+
+The memmap above reserves 12 megabytes of memory at the physical memory
+location 0x284500000. Then the trace_instance option will create a trace
+instance "boot_map" at that same location with the same amount of memory
+reserved. As the ring buffer is broke up into per CPU buffers, the 12
+megabytes will be broken up evenly between those CPUs. If you have 8 CPUs,
+each per CPU ring buffer will be 1.5 megabytes in size. Note, that also
+includes meta data, so the amount of memory actually used by the ring buffer
+will be slightly smaller.
+
+Another more generic but less robust way to allocate a ring buffer mapping
+at boot is with the "reserve_mem" option::
+
+  reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_map@trace
+
+The reserve_mem option above will find 12 megabytes that are available at
+boot up, and align it by 4096 bytes. It will label this memory as "trace"
+that can be used by later command line options.
+
+The trace_instance option creates a "boot_map" instance and will use the
+memory reserved by reserve_mem that was labeled as "trace". This method is
+more generic but may not be as reliable. Due to KASLR, the memory reserved
+by reserve_mem may not be located at the same location. If this happens,
+then the ring buffer will not be from the previous boot and will be reset.
+
+Sometimes, by using a larger alignment, it can keep KASLR from moving things
+around in such a way that it will move the location of the reserve_mem. By
+using a larger alignment, you may find better that the buffer is more
+consistent to where it is placed::
+
+  reserve_mem=12M:0x2000000:trace trace_instance=boot_map@trace
+
+On boot up, the memory reserved for the ring buffer is validated. It will go
+through a series of tests to make sure that the ring buffer contains valid
+data. If it is, it will then set it up to be available to read from the
+instance. If it fails any of the tests, it will clear the entire ring buffer
+and initialize it as new.
+
+The layout of this mapped memory may not be consistent from kernel to
+kernel, so only the same kernel is guaranteed to work if the mapping is
+preserved. Switching to a different kernel version may find a different
+layout and mark the buffer as invalid.
+
+NB: Both the mapped address and size must be page aligned for the architecture.
+
+Using trace_printk() in the boot instance
+-----------------------------------------
+By default, the content of trace_printk() goes into the top level tracing
+instance. But this instance is never preserved across boots. To have the
+trace_printk() content, and some other internal tracing go to the preserved
+buffer (like dump stacks), either set the instance to be the trace_printk()
+destination from the kernel command line, or set it after boot up via the
+trace_printk_dest option.
+
+After boot up::
+
+  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_map/options/trace_printk_dest
+
+From the kernel command line::
+
+  reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_map^traceprintk^traceoff@trace
+
+If setting it from the kernel command line, it is recommended to also
+disable tracing with the "traceoff" flag, and enable tracing after boot up.
+Otherwise the trace from the most recent boot will be mixed with the trace
+from the previous boot, and may make it confusing to read.
+
+Using a backup instance for keeping previous boot data
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+It is also possible to record trace data at system boot time by specifying
+events with the persistent ring buffer, but in this case the data before the
+reboot will be lost before it can be read. This problem can be solved by a
+backup instance. From the kernel command line::
+
+  reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_map@trace,sched,irq trace_instance=backup=boot_map
+
+On boot up, the previous data in the "boot_map" is copied to the "backup"
+instance, and the "sched:*" and "irq:*" events for the current boot are traced
+in the "boot_map". Thus the user can read the previous boot data from the "backup"
+instance without stopping the trace.
+
+Note that this "backup" instance is readonly, and will be removed automatically
+if you clear the trace data or read out all trace data from the "trace_pipe"
+or the "trace_pipe_raw" files.
