ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER

2008-10-20T16:27:03Z

Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same. This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages

2008-10-16T16:24:47Z

Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages. I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file, currently, /dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set. The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis. Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define their own debug levels and flags. Usage: Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, /dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows: . . . : Name of the module in which the debug call resides : whether the messages are enabled or not For example: snd_hda_intel enabled=0 fixup enabled=1 driver enabled=0 Enable a module: $echo "set enabled=1 " > dynamic_printk/modules Disable a module: $echo "set enabled=0 " > dynamic_printk/modules Enable all modules: $echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable all modules: $echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above disable command. [gkh: minor cleanups and tweaks to make the build work quietly] Signed-off-by: Jason Baron Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[SCSI] lib: add generic helper to print sizes rounded to the correct SI range

2008-10-03T16:46:14Z

This patch adds the ability to print sizes in either units of 10^3 (SI) or 2^10 (Binary) units. It rounds up to three significant figures and can be used for either memory or storage capacities. Oh, and I'm fully aware that 64 bits is only 16EiB ... the Zetta and Yotta units are added for future proofing against the day we have 128 bit computers ...

task_current_syscall

2008-07-26T19:00:10Z

This adds the new function task_current_syscall() on machines where the asm/syscall.h interface is supported (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK). It's exported for modules to use in the future. This function safely samples the state of a blocked thread to collect what system call it is blocked in, and the six system call argument registers.

rtc: BCD codeshrink

2008-07-24T17:47:33Z

This updates to define the key routines as constant functions, which the macros will then call. Newer code can now call bcd2bin() instead of SCREAMING BCD2BIN() TO THE FOUR WINDS. This lets each driver shrink their codespace by using N function calls to a single (global) copy of those routines, instead of N inlined copies of these functions per driver. These routines aren't used in speed-critical code. Almost all callers are in the RTC framework. Typical per-driver savings is near 300 bytes.

ftrace: do not trace library functions

2008-07-17T15:40:48Z

make function tracing more robust: do not trace library functions. We've already got a sizable list of exceptions: ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE # Do not profile string.o, since it may be used in early boot or vdso CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg # Also do not profile any debug utilities CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock_debug.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_list_debug.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_debugobjects.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_find_next_bit.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_cpumask.o = -pg CFLAGS_REMOVE_bitmap.o = -pg endif ... and the pattern has been that random library functionality showed up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing hard to debug lockups. So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by default. It's not that they are overly interesting for tracing purposes anyway. Specific ones can still be traced, in an opt-in manner. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

ftrace: fix lockup with MAXSMP

2008-07-17T15:38:17Z

MAXSMP brings in lots of use of various bitops in smp_processor_id() and friends - causing ftrace to lock up during bootup: calling anon_inode_init+0x0/0x130 initcall anon_inode_init+0x0/0x130 returned 0 after 0 msecs calling acpi_event_init+0x0/0x57 [ hard hang ] So exclude the bitops facilities from tracing.
