kernel/profile.c: fix section mismatch warning

2008-11-18T07:49:24Z

Impact: fix section mismatch warning in kernel/profile.c Here, profile_nop function has been called from a non-init function create_hash_tables(void). Which generetes a section mismatch warning. Previously, create_hash_tables(void) was a init function. So, removing __init from create_hash_tables(void) requires profile_nop to be non-init. This patch makes profile_nop function inline and fixes the following warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6ebb6): Section mismatch in reference from the function create_hash_tables() to the function .init.text:profile_nop() The function create_hash_tables() references the function __init profile_nop(). This is often because create_hash_tables lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of profile_nop is wrong. Signed-off-by: Rakib Mullick Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

kernel/profile: fix profile_init() section mismatch

2008-10-30T18:38:46Z

profile_init() calls in to alloc_bootmem() on early initialization. While alloc_bootmem() is __init, the reference itself is safe in that it is tucked below a !slab_is_available() check. So, flag profile_init() as __ref. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

profiling: dynamically enable readprofile at runtime

2008-10-16T18:21:31Z

Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too much system time and I wonder what is responsible. I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by default. Dang! The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and runtime-alloc it? To use: echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile Then run readprofile like normal. This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig. I've compile-tested on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

build kernel/profile.o only when requested

2008-07-25T17:53:27Z

Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled. This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller. As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are measurable effects). This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think having more than two choices would be the better choice. This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy functions.

on_each_cpu(): kill unused 'retry' parameter

2008-06-26T09:24:38Z

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that was removed. So kill it. Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
