Subject: [PATCH 0/4] trace: profiling branches
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 02:12:13 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081121071213.365288293@goodmis.org> (raw)

Ingo,

The following patches clean up the unlikely/likely tracer. Namely
it consolidates it into a single file called "profile_annotated_branch".

It also adds a new profiler. A true branch profiler that profiles all
if() statements where the conditional is not a constant. It puts 
a bit of overhead on the system, but the results seem pretty interesting.
The results are placed in "profile_branch".

Anyway, enjoy ;-)

The following patches are in:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace.git

    branch: tip/devel


Steven Rostedt (4):
      trace: remove extra assign in branch check
      trace: consolidate unlikely and likely profiler
      trace: branch profiling should not print percent without data
      trace: profile all if conditionals
