the ftrace buffers dumped to the console in the latency_trace format on a panic. When the option is set, the default entries per CPU buffer are lowered to 16384, since the writing to the serial (if that is the console) may take an awful long time otherwise. [ Changes since -v1: Got alpine to send correctly (as well as spell check working). Removed config option. Moved the static variables into ftrace_dump itself. Gave printk a log level. ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
