#
# funcslower - trace kernel functions slower than a threshold (microseconds).
#              Uses Linux ftrace.
#
# This uses the Linux ftrace function graph profiler to time kernel functions
# and filter them based on a latency threshold. This is a proof of concept using
# Linux ftrace capabilities on older kernels.
#
# USAGE: funcslower [-aChHPt] [-p PID] [-d secs] funcstring latency_us
#
# Run "funcslower -h" for full usage.
#
# REQUIREMENTS: FTRACE function graph, which you may already have available
# and enabled in recent kernels. And awk.
#
# The output format is the same as the ftrace function graph trace format,
# described in the kernel source under Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt.
# Note that the output may be shuffled when different CPU buffers are read;
# check the CPU column for changes, or include timestamps (-t) and post sort.
#
# WARNING: This uses dynamic tracing of kernel functions, and could cause
# kernel panics or freezes. Test, and know what you are doing, before use.
#
# OVERHEADS: Timing and filtering is performed in-kernel context, costing
# lower overheads than post-processing in user space. If you trace frequent
# events (eg, pick a common function and a low threshold), you might want to
# try the "-d secs" option, which buffers events in-kernel instead of printing
# them live.
