tracing: Always use canonical ftrace path

2023-02-18T19:34:09Z

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

tools lib api: Add dependency test to install_headers

2022-12-14T14:16:12Z

Compute the headers to be installed from their source headers and make each have its own build target to install it. Using dependencies avoids headers being reinstalled and getting a new timestamp which then causes files that depend on the header to be rebuilt.

perf record: Fix way of handling non-perf-event pollfds

2022-10-04T11:55:19Z

perf record __cmd_record() does not poll evlist pollfds. Instead it polls thread_data[0].pollfd. That happens whether or not threads are being used. perf record duplicates evlist mmap pollfds as needed for separate threads. The non-perf-event represented by evlist->ctl_fd has to handled separately, which is done explicitly, duplicating it into the thread_data[0] pollfds. That approach neglects any other non-perf-event file descriptors. Currently there is also done_fd which needs the same handling. Add a new generalized approach. Add fdarray_flag__non_perf_event to identify the file descriptors that need the special handling. For those cases, also keep a mapping of the evlist pollfd index and thread pollfd index, so that the evlist revents can be updated. Although this patch adds the new handling, it does not take it into use. There is no functional change, but it is the precursor to a fix, so is marked as a fix.

kbuild: replace $(if A,A,B) with $(or A,B)

2022-02-15T03:25:56Z

$(or ...) is available since GNU Make 3.81, and useful to shorten the code in some places. Covert as follows: $(if A,A,B) --> $(or A,B) This patch also converts: $(if A, A, B) --> $(or A, B) Strictly speaking, the latter is not an equivalent conversion because GNU Make keeps spaces after commas; if A is not empty, $(if A, A, B) expands to " A", while $(or A, B) expands to "A". Anyway, preceding spaces are not significant in the code hunks I touched. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier
