blktrace: Remove blk_fill_rwbs_rq.

2011-03-03T15:53:20Z

If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing. For example, with a sync write we get: write_test-2409 [001] 160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + = 8 [write_test] Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request, it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more. With this patch, after a sync write we get: write_test-2417 [000] 226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 += 8 [write_test] Signed-off-by: Tao Ma Acked-by: Jeff Moyer Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array

2011-02-03T02:37:13Z

Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the events are processed. The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they are suppose to be in an array. A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other architectures (sparc). Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail). By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers off a little more. The _ftrace_event section is also moved into the .init.data section as it is now only needed at boot up. Suggested-by: David Miller Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers Acked-by: David S.

tracing: Only process module tracepoints once

2011-01-14T16:25:58Z

The commit: 9f987b3141f086de27832514aad9f50a53f754 tracing: Include module.h in define_trace.h only solved half the problem. If the trace/events/module.h header is included at the time of define_trace.h (or in ftrace.h within it), the module.h TRACE_SYSTEM will override the current TRACE_SYSTEM macro. Since define_trace.h is included when CREATE_TRACE_POINTS is set, and the first thing it does is to #undef CREATE_TRACE_POINTS, by placing the module.h TRACE_SYSTEM inside a #ifdef CREATE_TRACE_POINTS we can prevent it from overriding the TRACE_SYSTEM that is being processed, and still process the module.h tracepoints when the module code defines CREATE_TRACE_POINTS and includes the trace/events/module.h header. As with commit 9f987b3141, this is only an issue if module.h is not included before the trace/events/.h file is included, which (luckily) has not happened yet.

mm: vmscan: rename lumpy_mode to reclaim_mode

2011-01-14T01:32:34Z

With compaction being used instead of lumpy reclaim, the name lumpy_mode and associated variables is a bit misleading. Rename lumpy_mode to reclaim_mode which is a better fit. There is no functional change.

mm: vmscan: convert lumpy_mode into a bitmask

2011-01-14T01:32:33Z

Currently lumpy_mode is an enum and determines if lumpy reclaim is off, syncronous or asyncronous. In preparation for using compaction instead of lumpy reclaim, this patch converts the flags into a bitmap.

mm: compaction: add trace events for memory compaction activity

2011-01-14T01:32:33Z

In preparation for a patches promoting the use of memory compaction over lumpy reclaim, this patch adds trace points for memory compaction activity. Using them, we can monitor the scanning activity of the migration and free page scanners as well as the number and success rates of pages passed to page migration.
