Executing 'perf ftrace' commands 'ftrace', 'profile' and 'latency' leave tracing disabled as can seen in this output: # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on 1 # perf ftrace trace --graph-opts depth=5 sleep 0.1 > /dev/null # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on 0 # The 'tracing_on' file is not restored to its value before the command. To fix that this patch uses the .../tracing/instances/XXX subdirectory feature. Each 'perf ftrace' invocation creates its own session/process specific subdirectory and does not change the global state in the .../tracing directory itself. Use rmdir(../tracing/instances/dir) to stop process/session specific tracing and delete all process/session specific setings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
