On s390 the perf test case ftrace sometimes fails as follows: # ./perf test ftrace 79: perf ftrace tests : FAILED! # The failure depends on the kernel .config file. Some configurations always work fine, some do not. The ftrace profile test mostly fails, because the ring buffer was not large enough, and some lines (especially the interesting ones with nanosleep in it) where dropped. To achieve success for all tested kernel configurations, enlarge the buffer to store the traces completely without wrapping. The default buffer size is too small for all kernel configurations. Set the buffer size of for the ftrace profile test to 16 MB.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
