The func_traceonoff_triggers.tc sometimes goes to fail on my board, Kunpeng-920.

[root@localhost]# ./ftracetest ./test.d/ftrace/func_traceonoff_triggers.tc -l fail.log === Ftrace unit tests === [1] ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [FAIL] [2] (instance) ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [UNSUPPORTED]

I look up the log, and it shows that the md5sum is different between csum1 and csum2.

++ cnt=611 ++ sleep .1 +++ cnt_trace +++ grep -v '^#' trace +++ wc -l ++ cnt2=611 ++ '[' 611 -ne 611 ']' +++ cat tracing_on ++ on=0 ++ '[' 0 '!=' 0 ']' +++ md5sum trace ++ csum1='76896aa74362fff66a6a5f3cf8a8a500 trace' ++ sleep .1 +++ md5sum trace ++ csum2='ee8625a21c058818fc26e45c1ed3f6de trace' ++ '[' '76896aa74362fff66a6a5f3cf8a8a500 trace' '!=' 'ee8625a21c058818fc26e45c1ed3f6de trace' ']' ++ fail 'Tracing file is still changing' ++ echo Tracing file is still changing Tracing file is still changing ++ exit_fail ++ exit 1

So I directly dump the trace file before md5sum, the diff shows that:

[root@localhost]# diff trace_1.log trace_2.log -y --suppress-common-lines dockerd-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510290: sched_stat | <...>-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510290: sched_stat dockerd-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510291: sched_swit | <...>-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510291: sched_swit <...>-740 [044] d.... 18385.602859: sched_stat | kworker/44:1-740 [044] d.... 18385.602859: sched_stat <...>-740 [044] d.... 18385.602860: sched_swit | kworker/44:1-740 [044] d.... 18385.602860: sched_swit

And we can see that the saved_cmdlines in kernel was changed.

So Maybe there is no safe to use md5sum here to verify whether the file whether it has changed.

From my point of view, we only need to verify traceoff event is valid there.

Maybe it is enough to check first that the tracing_on equals 0, and then check that the total number of rows of trace does not increase?
