blktrace: add FLUSH/FUA support

2011-08-11T08:36:05Z

Add FLUSH/FUA support to blktrace. As FLUSH precedes WRITE and/or FUA follows WRITE, use the same 'F' flag for both cases and distinguish them by their (relative) position. The end results look like (other flags might be shown also): - WRITE: W - WRITE_FLUSH: FW - WRITE_FUA: WF - WRITE_FLUSH_FUA: FWF Note that we reuse TC_BARRIER due to lack of bit space of act_mask so that the older versions of blktrace tools will report flush requests as barriers from now on.

tracing/kprobe: Update symbol reference when loading module

2011-07-15T19:45:32Z

Since the address of a module-local variable can only be solved after the target module is loaded, the symbol fetch-argument should be updated when loading target module.

tracing/kprobes: Support module init function probing

2011-07-15T19:17:14Z

To support probing module init functions, kprobe-tracer allows user to define a probe on non-existed function when it is given with a module name. This also enables user to set a probe on a function on a specific module, even if a same name (but different) function is locally defined in another module. The module name must be in the front of function name and separated by a ':'. e.g. btrfs:btrfs_init_sysfs Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110627072656.6528.89970.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
