Hi Namhyung,

Sorry for the late reply, just catching up after Spring Break...

When using '.log2' modifier, the output looks like:

# echo 'hist:key=bytes_req.log2' > kmalloc/trigger
# cat kmalloc/hist

{ bytes_req: ~ 2^12 } hitcount: 1
{ bytes_req: ~ 2^11 } hitcount: 1
{ bytes_req: ~ 2^9 } hitcount: 2
{ bytes_req: ~ 2^6 } hitcount: 3
{ bytes_req: ~ 2^3 } hitcount: 13
{ bytes_req: ~ 2^5 } hitcount: 19
{ bytes_req: ~ 2^8 } hitcount: 49
{ bytes_req: ~ 2^7 } hitcount: 57
{ bytes_req: ~ 2^4 } hitcount: 74


I found a small inconsistency. My command line is

echo 'hist:key=latency.log2:sort=latency' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/test/latency_complete/trigger

When looking at the output of 'hist' you see that the
'sort=' is not what I provided.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/test/latency_complete/hist
# event histogram
#
# trigger info: hist:keys=latency.log2:vals=hitcount:sort=latency.log2:size=2048 [active]
#
#

Maybe we want to skip printing those flags for sort keys..
What about this?


Looks fine to me.
