Running the ftrace selftests caused the ring buffer mapping test to fail. Investigating, I found that the snapshot counter would be incremented every time a tracer that uses the snapshot is enabled even if the snapshot was used by the previous tracer. That is: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo wakeup_rt > current_tracer # echo wakeup_dl > current_tracer # echo nop > current_tracer would leave the snapshot counter at 1 and not zero. That's because the enabling of wakeup_dl would increment the counter again but the setting the tracer to nop would only decrement it once. Do not arm the snapshot for a tracer if the previous tracer already had it armed.

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.
