When debugging, it can be difficult to quickly find the ftrace dump within the console log, which in turn makes it difficult to process it independent of the rest of the console output. This commit therefore copies the contents of the buffers into its own file to make it easier to locate and process the ftrace dump. The original ftrace dump is still available in the console log in cases because it can be more convenient to process it in situ, for example, for scripts that process console output as well as ftrace-dump data. Also handle the case of multiple ftrace dumps potentially showing up in the log. Example for a file like [1], it will extract as [2]. [1]: foo foo Dumping ftrace buffer: --------------------------------- blah blah --------------------------------- more bar baz Dumping ftrace buffer: --------------------------------- blah2 blah2 --------------------------------- bleh bleh [2]: Ftrace dump 1: blah blah Ftrace dump 2: blah2 blah2 [ paulmck: Fixed awk indentation, input up front. ] Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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 Restructured Text 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.
