Subject: [PATCH 0 of 3] Introduce more debugging flexibility with ASSERT() macros
Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 19:16:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patchbomb.1349720160@andrewcoop.uk.xensource.com> (raw)

The following three patches introduce several debugging macros I have
been using for a long time while debugging issues in Xen.

ASSERT_PRINK() is hopefully obvious, and ASSERT_RUN() is useful when
more complicated printing is required.

The final macro ASSERT_RUN_SINGLE() is not fit for upstream yet.  It is
designed to force all other PCPUs into a wait loop in an NMI context, so
the ASSERT()'ing processor can walk data structures without locks, and
without fear that values are changing under its feet.  I will work on
integrating this into the crash code (as it has a similar setup for the
start of the kexec_crash() path), and upstream when I have time.
