linux/kernel/trace/Kconfig, branch v5.7

Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized

2020-05-09T20:57:10Z

We have some rather random rules about when we accept the "maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't. For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES). And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did. At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings. So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the extra compiler warnings, use W=123". Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not? Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and our source code would be simpler. That's currently not the world we live in, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

bootconfig: Fix CONFIG_BOOTTIME_TRACING dependency issue

2020-02-26T00:07:58Z

Since commit d8a953ddde5e ("bootconfig: Set CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG=n by default") also changed the CONFIG_BOOTTIME_TRACING to select CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG to show the boot-time tracing on the menu, it introduced wrong dependencies with BLK_DEV_INITRD as below. WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for BOOT_CONFIG Depends on [n]: BLK_DEV_INITRD [=n] Selected by [y]: - BOOTTIME_TRACING [=y] && TRACING_SUPPORT [=y] && FTRACE [=y] && TRACING [=y] This makes the CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG selects CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD to fix this error and make CONFIG_BOOTTIME_TRACING=n by default, so that both boot-time tracing and boot configuration off but those appear on the menu list.

bootconfig: Set CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG=n by default

2020-02-20T22:52:12Z

Set CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG=n by default. This also warns user if CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG=n but "bootconfig" is given in the kernel command line.

tracing: Move tracing selftests to bottom of menu

2020-01-30T14:46:29Z

Move all the tracing selftest configs to the bottom of the tracing menu. There's no reason for them to be interspersed throughout. Also, move the bootconfig menu to the top. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Move mmio tracer config up with the other tracers

2020-01-30T14:46:29Z

Move the config that enables the mmiotracer with the other tracers such that all the tracers are together. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Move tracing test module configs together

2020-01-30T14:46:29Z

The MMIO test module was by itself, move it to the other test modules. Also, add the text "Test module" to PREEMPTIRQ_DELAY_TEST as that create a test module as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Move all function tracing configs together

2020-01-30T14:46:29Z

The features that depend on the function tracer were spread out through the tracing menu, pull them together as it is easier to manage. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Add kprobe event command generation test module

2020-01-30T14:46:28Z

Add a test module that checks the basic functionality of the in-kernel kprobe event command generation API by creating kprobe events from a module.

tracing/boot: Add boot-time tracing

2020-01-13T18:19:41Z

Setup tracing options via extra boot config in addition to kernel command line. This adds following commands support. These are applied to the global trace instance. - ftrace.options = OPT1[,OPT2...] Enable given ftrace options. - ftrace.trace_clock = CLOCK Set given CLOCK to ftrace's trace_clock. - ftrace.buffer_size = SIZE Configure ftrace buffer size to SIZE. You can use "KB" or "MB" for that SIZE. - ftrace.events = EVENT[, EVENT2...] Enable given events on boot. You can use a wild card in EVENT. - ftrace.tracer = TRACER Set TRACER to current tracer on boot. (e.g. function) Note that this is NOT replacing the kernel parameters, because this boot config based setting is later than that. If you want to trace earlier boot events, you still need kernel parameters.
