+  - onmax(var).snapshot()
+
+    The 'onmax(var).snapshot()' hist trigger action is invoked
+    whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
+    exceeds the current maximum contained in that variable.
+
+    The end result is that a global snapshot of the trace buffer will
+    be saved in the tracing/snapshot file if 'var' exceeds the current
+    maximum for any hist trigger entry.
+
+    Note that in this case the maximum is a global maximum for the
+    current trace instance, which is the maximum across all buckets of
+    the histogram.  The key of the specific trace event that caused
+    the global maximum and the global maximum itself are displayed,
+    along with a message stating that a snapshot has been taken and
+    where to find it.  The user can use the key information displayed
+    to locate the corresponding bucket in the histogram for even more
+    detail.
+
+    As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for
+    sched_waking and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid.  Whenever
+    a sched_waking event occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry
+    corresponding to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches
+    back to that pid, the timestamp difference is calculated.  If the
+    resulting latency, stored in wakeup_lat, exceeds the current
+    maximum latency, a snapshot is taken.  As part of the setup, all
+    the scheduler events are also enabled, which are the events that
+    will show up in the snapshot when it is taken at some point:
+
+    # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \
+            if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
+
+    # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0: \
+            onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_prio,next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio, \
+	    prev_comm):onmax($wakeup_lat).snapshot() \
+	    if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
+	    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
+
+    When the histogram is displayed, for each bucket the max value
+    and the saved values corresponding to the max are displayed
+    following the rest of the fields.
+
+    If a snaphot was taken, there is also a message indicating that,
+    along with the value and event that triggered the global maximum:
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist
+      { next_pid:       2101 } hitcount:        200
+	max:         52  next_prio:        120  next_comm: cyclictest \
+        prev_pid:          0  prev_prio:        120  prev_comm: swapper/6
+
+      { next_pid:       2103 } hitcount:       1326
+	max:        572  next_prio:         19  next_comm: cyclictest \
+        prev_pid:          0  prev_prio:        120  prev_comm: swapper/1
+
+      { next_pid:       2102 } hitcount:       1982 \
+	max:         74  next_prio:         19  next_comm: cyclictest \
+        prev_pid:          0  prev_prio:        120  prev_comm: swapper/5
+
+    Snapshot taken (see tracing/snapshot).  Details:
+	triggering value { onmax($wakeup_lat) }:        572	\
+	triggered by event with key: { next_pid:       2103 }
+
+    Totals:
+        Hits: 3508
+        Entries: 3
+        Dropped: 0
+
+    In the above case, the event that triggered the global maximum has
+    the key with next_pid == 2103.  If you look at the bucket that has
+    2103 as the key, you'll find the additional values save()'d along
+    with the local maximum for that bucket, which should be the same
+    as the global maximum (since that was the same value that
+    triggered the global snapshot).
+
+    And finally, looking at the snapshot data should show at or near
+    the end the event that triggered the snapshot (in this case you
+    can verify the timestamps between the sched_waking and
+    sched_switch events, which should match the time displayed in the
+    global maximum):
