Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ftrace: overrun accounting and trace_pipe headers
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:09:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080421210935.460817943@goodmis.org> (raw)


The first patch in this series adds accounting to record overruns. That is
where the writing catches up to the reading of the buffer. This really
only matters for trace_pipe since that's a consumer / producer output file.

The next patch adds new methods for the plugins to hook into the
open_pipe and open_read, to let a plugin produce a header.
The open_read method can also be used to do something when overruns
are detected.

The last patch is a test patch AND SHOULD NOT BE APPLIED. It is just an
example in how to use the new methods to produce a header. It simply
makes the ftrace tracer produce a simple "Test header" before any
output.
