+================
+NMI Trace Events
+================
+
+These events normally show up here:
+
+       /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/nmi
+
+
+nmi_handler
+-----------
+
+You might want to use this tracepoint if you suspect that your
+NMI handlers are hogging large amounts of CPU time.  The kernel
+will warn if it sees long-running handlers::
+
+       INFO: NMI handler took too long to run: 9.207 msecs
+
+and this tracepoint will allow you to drill down and get some
+more details.
+
+Let's say you suspect that perf_event_nmi_handler() is causing
+you some problems and you only want to trace that handler
+specifically.  You need to find its address::
+
+       $ grep perf_event_nmi_handler /proc/kallsyms
+       ffffffff81625600 t perf_event_nmi_handler
+
+Let's also say you are only interested in when that function is
+really hogging a lot of CPU time, like a millisecond at a time.
+Note that the kernel's output is in milliseconds, but the input
+to the filter is in nanoseconds!  You can filter on 'delta_ns'::
+
+       cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/nmi/nmi_handler
+       echo 'handler==0xffffffff81625600 && delta_ns>1000000' > filter
+       echo 1 > enable
+
+Your output would then look like::
+
+       $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
+       <idle>-0     [000] d.h3   505.397558: nmi_handler: perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 3236765 handled: 1
+       <idle>-0     [000] d.h3   505.805893: nmi_handler: perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 3174234 handled: 1
+       <idle>-0     [000] d.h3   506.158206: nmi_handler: perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 3084642 handled: 1
+       <idle>-0     [000] d.h3   506.334346: nmi_handler: perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 3080351 handled: 1
