From 1df49ef9ee3179a213754a26cc64065e8aa24c0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Zwisler Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2023 11:19:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools docs: Use canonical ftrace path The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing A few spots in the perf docs still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.
