tracing/syscalls: use a dedicated file header

2009-04-09T03:43:32Z

Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64 Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings: CC arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.o In file included from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:55: arch/ia64/ia32/ia32priv.h:290:1: warning: "elf_check_arch" redefined In file included from include/linux/elf.h:7, from include/linux/module.h:14, from include/linux/ftrace.h:8, from include/linux/syscalls.h:68, from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:18: arch/ia64/include/asm/elf.h:19:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition [...] sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h to import the syscalls tracing prototypes. But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file, especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher level headers. Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

kmemtrace: use tracepoints

2009-04-03T10:23:06Z

kmemtrace now uses tracepoints instead of markers. We no longer need to use format specifiers to pass arguments.

tracing, net: fix net tree and tracing tree merge interaction

2009-04-01T22:50:30Z

Today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: In file included from net/core/skbuff.c:69: include/trace/skb.h:4: error: expected ')' before '(' token include/trace/skb.h:4: error: expected ')' before '(' token [...] Caused by commit 2939b0469d04ba9ac791aca9a81625d7eb50662b ("tracing: replace TPwith TP_") from the tracing tree interacting with commit 4893d39e865b2897bf9fcd329697d37032d853a1 ("Network Drop Monitor: Add trace declaration for skb frees") from the net tree.

net: Add dependent headers to trace/skb.h

2009-03-24T21:24:10Z

The tracing header needs to include definitions for the macros used and the types referenced. This lets automated tracing tools like SystemTap make use of the tracepoint without any specific knowledge of its meaning (leaving that to the user).

tracing: tracepoints for softirq entry/exit - tracepoints

2009-03-13T01:20:58Z

Introduce softirq entry/exit tracepoints. These are useful for augmenting existing tracers, and to figure out softirq frequencies and timings.

tracing: flip the TP_printk and TP_fast_assign in the TRACE_EVENT macro

2009-03-10T16:41:38Z

Impact: clean up In trying to stay consistant with the C style format in the TRACE_EVENT macro, it makes more sense to do the printk after the assigning of the variables. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: remove obsolete TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro

2009-03-10T04:35:12Z

Impact: clean up The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is no longer used by trace points and only the DECLARE_TRACE, TRACE_FORMAT or TRACE_EVENT macros should be used by them. Although the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is still used by the internal tracing utility, it should not be used in core kernel code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: convert irq trace points to new macros

2009-03-10T04:35:11Z

Impact: enhancement Converted the two irq trace point macros. The entry macro copies the name of the irq handler, thus it is better to simply use the TRACE_FORMAT macro which uses the trace_printk. The return of the handler does not need to record the name, thus the faster C style handler is more approriate. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
