Hi,
Please review the ensuing set of patches which convert the
existing RCU tracing mechanism for Preempt RCU and RCU Boost into
markers.
These patches are based upon the 2.6.24-rc2-rt1 kernel tree.
Along with marker transition, the RCU Tracing infrastructure has also
been modularised to be built as a kernel module, thereby enabling
runtime changes to the RCU Tracing infrastructure.
Patch [1/2] - Patch that converts the Preempt RCU tracing in
rcupreempt.c into markers.
Patch [1/2] - Patch that converts the Preempt RCU Boost tracing in
rcupreempt-boost.c into markers.
Thanks,
K.Prasad

Looks good to me, though I do not pretend to understand the markers
implementation. I presume that the markers implementation forces the
varargs usage -- though the markers do seem quite a bit nicer in allowing
the formatting to be specified more naturally.
Thanx, Paul

Paul,
Thanks for the quick review.
Yes, varargs are required for marker handlers even with fixed set of
arguments.
Ingo,
Can you please include these patches in your rt patchset?
Thanks,

Hi Ingo,
Please accept these patches into the rt tree which convert the
existing RCU tracing mechanism for Preempt RCU and RCU Boost into
markers.
These patches are based upon the 2.6.24-rc5-rt1 kernel tree.
Along with marker transition, the RCU Tracing infrastructure has also
been modularised to be built as a kernel module, thereby enabling
runtime changes to the RCU Tracing infrastructure.
Patch [1/2] - Patch that converts the Preempt RCU tracing in
rcupreempt.c into markers.
Patch [1/2] - Patch that converts the Preempt RCU Boost tracing in
rcupreempt-boost.c into markers.
Thanks,
K.Prasad
