The current code will always use the current stacktrace as a key even if a stacktrace contained in a specific event field was specified. For example, we expect to use the 'unsigned long[] stack' field in the below event in the histogram: # echo 's:block_lat pid_t pid; u64 delta; unsigned long[] stack;' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/dynamic_events # echo 'hist:keys=delta.buckets=100,stack.stacktrace:sort=delta' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/block_lat/trigger But in fact, when we type out the trigger, we see that it's using the plain old global 'stacktrace' as the key, which is just the stacktrace when the event was hit and not the stacktrace contained in the event, which is what we want: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/block_lat/trigger hist:keys=delta.buckets=100,stacktrace:vals=hitcount:sort=delta.buckets=100:size=2048 [active] And in fact, there's no code to actually retrieve it from the event, so we need to add HIST_FIELD_FN_STACK and hist_field_stack() to get it and hook it into the trigger code. For now, since the stack is just using dynamic strings, this could just use the dynamic string function, but it seems cleaner to have a dedicated function an be able to tweak independently as necessary.

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.
