Subject: [for-next][PATCH 00/17] tracing: multi-buffers with snapshots, per_cpu and some debugging tools
Date: Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:59:58 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130308025958.501479677@goodmis.org> (raw)


Here's more updates for linux-next.

I rebased the series on top of my last pull request of
 tip/perf/urgent.

Here I made the multi-buffers work with the snapshots, as well as
added per-cpu directory for the snapshots.

I added a snapshot_raw to allow tools to pull in the binary data
of the snapshot so that it can be analyzed better.

I removed the max_tr and added two trace buffers into the trace_array.
This actually makes things much simpler, and I really should have
designed ftrace to do this from day one. It makes things so much easier.

I added an internal tracing tool called tracing_snapshot() and
tracing_snapshot_alloc(). This will allow a developer to place in
the kernel a way to say "snapshot" here, and let the tracing
continue in case there's a better place to take a snapshot.

Note, tracing_snapshot() will fail if the snapshot buffer was never
allocated, but tracing_snapshot_alloc() needs to be called from
a context that can sleep (or early boot up). When debugging, it's
best to through in a tracing_snapshot_alloc() early on so that
it will be ready to use. Hmm, I should also add a kernel command
line parameter to allocate it on boot up. Darn, I thought I was
done for 3.10. That will need to be next :-/

Enjoy,

-- Steve
