.TH S390_RUNTIME_INSTR 2 2012-12-17 "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
s390_runtime_instr \- enable/disable s390 CPU run-time instrumentation
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <asm/runtime_instr.h>
|
|
|
|
.BI "int s390_runtime_instr(int " command ", int " signum ");
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR s390_runtime_instr ()
|
|
system call starts or stops CPU run-time instrumentation for the
|
|
calling thread.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.IR command
|
|
argument controls whether run-time instrumentation is started
|
|
.RB ( S390_RUNTIME_INSTR_START ,
|
|
1) or stopped
|
|
.RB ( S390_RUNTIME_INSTR_STOP ,
|
|
2) for the calling thread.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.IR signum
|
|
argument specifies the number of a real-time signal.
|
|
The real-time signal is sent to the thread if the run-time instrumentation
|
|
buffer is full or if the run-time-instrumentation-halted interrupt
|
|
occurred.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
On success,
|
|
.BR s390_runtime_instr ()
|
|
returns 0 and enables the thread for
|
|
run-time instrumentation by assigning the thread a default run-time
|
|
instrumentation control block.
|
|
The caller can then read and modify the control block and start the run-time
|
|
instrumentation.
|
|
On error, \-1 is returned and
|
|
.IR errno
|
|
is set to one of the error codes listed below.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
The value specified in
|
|
.IR command
|
|
is not a valid command or the value specified in
|
|
.IR signum
|
|
is not a real-time signal number.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ENOMEM
|
|
Allocating memory for the run-time instrumentation control block failed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EOPNOTSUPP
|
|
The run-time instrumentation facility is not available.
|
|
.SH VERSIONS
|
|
This system call is available since Linux 3.7.
|
|
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
|
This Linux-specific system call is available only on the s390 architecture.
|
|
The run-time instrumentation facility is available beginning with System z EC12.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call, use
|
|
.BR syscall (2)
|
|
to call it.
