From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rost...@goodmis.org> Running the ftrace selftests caused the ring buffer mapping test to fail. Investigating, I found that the snapshot counter would be incremented every time a tracer that uses the snapshot is enabled even if the snapshot was used by the previous tracer.
That is: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo wakeup_rt > current_tracer # echo wakeup_dl > current_tracer # echo nop > current_tracer would leave the snapshot counter at 1 and not zero. That's because the enabling of wakeup_dl would increment the counter again but the setting the tracer to nop would only decrement it once. Do not arm the snapshot for a tracer if the previous tracer already had it armed.
