3.8. Using debugfs


The debugfs file system is specially designed for debugging and making information available to users. It must be mounted for use with ftrace and trace-cmd, and it is mounted automatically in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 under the /sys/kernel/debug/ directory.
You can verify that debugfs is mounted by running the following command:
~]# mount | grep ^debugfs
