For hitting the histogram stacktrace trigger (this code path), make
sure you have CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS enabled. And then do:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,stacktrace:vals=prev_state' > \
events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
# cat events/sched/sched_switch/hist
For the "sym" part, you can do (from the same directory):
# echo 'hist:keys=call_site.sym:vals=bytes_req' > \
events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
# cat events/kmem/kmalloc/hist
And for sym-offset:
# echo 'hist:keys=call_site.sym-offset:vals=bytes_req' > \
events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
# cat events/kmem/kmalloc/hist
