What: /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace
Date: Aug 2017
KernelVersion: 4.14
Contact: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
Description: This folder contains the relevant debugfs files for the
hardware trace macro to use. CONFIG_PPC64_HARDWARE_TRACING
must be set.
What: /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable

KernelVersion: 4.14
Contact: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
Description: Write an integer containing the size in bytes of the memory
you want removed from each NUMA node to this file - it must be
aligned to the memblock size. This amount of RAM will be removed
from each NUMA node in the kernel mappings and the following
debugfs files will be created. Once memory is successfully
removed from each node, the following files are created. To
re-add memory to the kernel, echo 0 into this file (it will be
automatically onlined).

from the specific NUMA node.

Description: This is where the hardware trace macro will output the trace
it generates.
