Component Trace Modes

Component Trace has two modes that can be used simultaneously - system trace mode and memory trace mode.

system trace mode

The system trace mode sends trace entries to the existing system trace. The following settings can be changed:

Setting	Default setting
on or off	The mode is on.
trace level	The default level of system trace is CT_LVL_NORMAL (level 3).

memory trace mode

The memory trace mode stores the trace entries in a memory buffer. The buffer is either private to the component or to a per-processor memory buffer that is dedicated to the lightweight memory trace. The following settings can be changed:

Setting	Default setting
on or off	The mode is off.
serialization policy	The recording of trace entries is serialized by the framework.
tracing status	Tracing is suspended.
the size of the private buffer	0
trace level	The default level of memory trace is CT_LVL_NORMAL (level 3).
