  429. Mmiotrace traces Memory Mapped I/O access and is meant for
  430. debugging and reverse engineering. It is called from the ioremap
  431. implementation and works via page faults. Tracing is disabled by
  432. default and can be enabled at run-time.
  433. See Documentation/trace/mmiotrace.txt.
  434. If you are not helping to develop drivers, say N.

  438. help
  439. This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
  440. as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
  441. However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.
  442. Say N, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

  446. help
  447. This option creates a test to stress the ring buffer and benchmark it.
  448. It creates its own ring buffer such that it will not interfere with
  449. any other users of the ring buffer (such as ftrace). It then creates
  450. a producer and consumer that will run for 10 seconds and sleep for
  451. 10 seconds. Each interval it will print out the number of events
  452. it recorded and give a rough estimate of how long each iteration took.
  453. It does not disable interrupts or raise its priority, so it may be
  454. affected by processes that are running.
  455. If unsure, say N.

  459. help
  460. Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the
  461. kernel boot sequence, the test will start that kicks off
  462. a thread per cpu. Each thread will write various size events
  463. into the ring buffer. Another thread is created to send IPIs
  464. to each of the threads, where the IPI handler will also write
  465. to the ring buffer, to test/stress the nesting ability.
  466. If any anomalies are discovered, a warning will be displayed
  467. and all ring buffers will be disabled.
  468. The test runs for 10 seconds. This will slow your boot time
  469. by at least 10 more seconds.
  470. At the end of the test, statics and more checks are done.
  471. It will output the stats of each per cpu buffer. What
  472. was written, the sizes, what was read, what was lost, and
  473. other similar details.
