[PATCH i-g-t v2 4/4] tests/intel/xe_oa: Add an option to capture register accesses in ftrace

Tue Aug 26 22:43:01 UTC 2025


Capture ftrace with the --trace option when needed. This is not intended
to run as default, but more of a debug functionality when manually
running individual tests.

v2: (Ashutosh)
- Update commit title
- Check ftrace buffer size sooner. Use defaults
- s/Mb/MB
- x 1024 instead of x 1000
