help
This tracer helps developers to optimize boot times: it records
the timings of the initcalls. Its aim is to be parsed by the
/scripts/bootgraph.pl tool to produce pretty graphics about
boot inefficiencies, giving a visual representation of the
delays during initcalls. Note that tracers self tests can't
be enabled if this tracer is selected since only one tracer
should touch the tracing buffer at a time.
the timings of the initcalls and traces key events and the identity
of tasks that can cause boot delays, such as context-switches.
Its aim is to be parsed by the /scripts/bootgraph.pl tool to
produce pretty graphics about boot inefficiencies, giving a visual
representation of the delays during initcalls - but the raw
/debug/tracing/trace text output is readable too.
( Note that tracing self tests can't be enabled if this tracer is
selected, because the self-tests are an initcall as well and that
would invalidate the boot trace. )
