ftrace: add module globbing Extend module command for function filter selection with globbing. It uses the same globbing as function filter. sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:*' > set_ftrace_filter Will trace any function with the letters 'alloc' in the name in any module but not in kernel. sh# echo '!*alloc*:mod:ipv6' >> set_ftrace_filter Will prevent from tracing functions with 'alloc' in the name from module ipv6 (do not forget to append to set_ftrace_filter file). sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:!ipv6' > set_ftrace_filter Will trace functions with 'alloc' in the name from kernel and any module except ipv6. sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:!*' > set_ftrace_filter Will trace any function with the letters 'alloc' in the name only from kernel, but not from any module. sh# echo '*:mod:!*' > set_ftrace_filter or sh# echo ':mod:!' > set_ftrace_filter Will trace every function in the kernel, but will not trace functions from any module. sh# echo '*:mod:*' > set_ftrace_filter or sh# echo ':mod:' > set_ftrace_filter As the opposite will trace all functions from all modules, but not from kernel. sh# echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter Will trace your sound drivers only (if any).
