Public bug reported: May be an unclear man page description or a bug. Tested on up to date ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and 19.10 The command in question is:
trace-cmd report -f >From the man page: -f: This outputs the list of functions that have been recorded in the file. Expected result: Lists the functions that were traced (recorded in the .dat file) Actual result: no matter what command was traced for the .dat, lists the same very large set of functions which appears to be similar to the entire /proc/kallsyms listing or all traceable functions, not just the ones that were traced. Without using the -f command, the report appears to be correct. Note, the .dat is being generated by: trace-cmd record -p function_graph -F <command> where <command> is something like true, ls, ping, or those but in a loop ** Affects: trace-cmd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868900 Title: "trace-cmd report -f" functionality different than expected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/trace-cmd/+bug/1868900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
