Subject: rtla/timerlat_bpf: Allow resuming tracing
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b78670e3a932c654dedf88807e70e19719cb0cb;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

rtla/timerlat_bpf: Allow resuming tracing

Currently, rtla-timerlat BPF program uses a global variable stored in a
.bss section to store whether tracing has been stopped.

Move the information to a separate map, so that it is easily writable
from userspace, and add a function that clears the value, resuming
tracing after it has been stopped.
