profiling: fix broken profiling regression

2009-02-09T23:50:37Z

Impact: fix broken /proc/profile on UP machines Commit c309b917cab55799ea489d7b5f1b77025d9f8462 "cpumask: convert kernel/profile.c" broke profiling. prof_cpu_mask was previously initialized to CPU_MASK_ALL, but left uninitialized in that commit. We need to copy cpu_possible_mask (cpu_online_mask is not enough). Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

profile: don't include twice.

Currently, kernel/profile.c include twice. It can be removed. Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

cpumask: convert kernel/profile.c

2008-12-31T23:42:27Z

Impact: Reduce kernel memory usage, use new cpumask API. Avoid a static cpumask_t for prof_cpu_mask, and an on-stack cpumask_t in prof_cpu_mask_write_proc. Both become cpumask_var_t. prof_cpu_mask is only allocated when profiling is on, but the NULL checks are optimized out by gcc for the !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. Also removed some strange and unnecessary casts. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

cpumask: change cpumask_scnprintf, cpumask_parse_user, cpulist_parse, and cpulist_scnprintf to take pointers.

2008-12-13T10:50:25Z

Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected. These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

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
