cyclictest: stop any tracing after hitting a breaktrace threshold
John,
This patch is against the devel/v0.98 branch. It turns off tracing in the tracemark() so that we don't lose information about what was going on when we hit the latency:
The current logic of using --tracemark and --notrace works for running
cyclictest with trace-cmd, but even if we are not doing any trace
manipulation in cyclictest, we still need to stop tracing when we hit a
breaktrace threshold (i.e. -b <n>).
Modify startup logic to hold open file descriptors for the tracemark file
*and* the tracing_on file. When we hit a threshold and call the tracemark()
function, write the marker to the trace buffers and then write a "0\n" to
the tracing_on file to turn off tracing, otherwise we lose the information
immediately prior to the point where we hit the latency.
