NAME

6       s390_runtime_instr - enable/disable s390 CPU run-time instrumentation
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <asm/runtime_instr.h>
10
11       int s390_runtime_instr(int command, int signum);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  s390_runtime_instr()  system  call  starts  or  stops CPU run-time
15       instrumentation for the calling thread.
16
17       The command  argument  controls  whether  run-time  instrumentation  is
18       started    (S390_RUNTIME_INSTR_START,    1)   or   stopped   (S390_RUN‐
19       TIME_INSTR_STOP, 2) for the calling thread.
20
21       The signum argument specifies the number of a  real-time  signal.   The
22       real-time  signal is sent to the thread if the run-time instrumentation
23       buffer is full  or  if  the  run-time-instrumentation-halted  interrupt
24       occurred.
25

RETURN VALUE

27       On  success,  s390_runtime_instr() returns 0 and enables the thread for
28       run-time instrumentation by assigning the  thread  a  default  run-time
29       instrumentation control block.  The caller can then read and modify the
30       control block and start the run-time instrumentation.  On error, -1  is
31       returned and errno is set to one of the error codes listed below.
32

ERRORS

34       EINVAL The  value  specified  in  command is not a valid command or the
35              value specified in signum is not a real-time signal number.
36
37       ENOMEM Allocating memory for the run-time instrumentation control block
38              failed.
39
40       EOPNOTSUPP
41              The run-time instrumentation facility is not available.
42

VERSIONS

44       This system call is available since Linux 3.7.
45

CONFORMING TO

47       This Linux-specific system call is available only on the s390 architec‐
48       ture.  The run-time instrumentation  facility  is  available  beginning
49       with System z EC12.
