2008-05-23ftrace: remove notraceIngo Molnar
now that we have a kbuild method for notrace, no need to pollute the C code with the annotations. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-05-23ftrace: add trace_function api for other tracers to useSteven Rostedt
A new check was added in the ftrace function that wont trace if the CPU trace buffer is disabled. Unfortunately, other tracers used ftrace() to write to the buffer after they disabled it. The new disable check makes these calls into a nop. This patch changes the __ftrace that is called without the check into a new api for the other tracers to use, called "trace_function". The other tracers use this interface instead when the trace CPU buffer is already disabled.

2008-05-23ftrace: user run time file readingSteven Rostedt
This patch creates a file called trace_pipe in the tracing debug directory. This file is a consumer of the trace buffers. This means that reads of this file consumes the entries from the trace buffers so that they will not be read a second time, as contrast to the static buffers latency_trace and trace. Reading from the trace_pipe will remove the entries from trace and latency_trace too. The advantage that trace_pipe has is that it can record live traces. It will block when there is nothing in the buffer, and read the entries as they are entered. An EOF happens when tracing is disabled (tracing_enabled = 0).

2008-05-23ftrace: add a buffer for outputSteven Rostedt
Later patches will need to print the same things as the seq output does. But those outputs will not use the seq utility. This patch adds a buffer to the iterator, that can be used by either the seq utility or other output.

2008-05-23ftrace: change buffers to producer consumerSteven Rostedt
This patch changes the way the CPU trace buffers are handled. Instead of always starting from the trace page head, the logic is changed to a producer consumer logic. This allows for the buffers to be drained while they are alive.

2008-05-23ftrace: reset selftestsSteven Rostedt
The tests may leave stuff in the buffers. This resets the buffers after each test is run. If a test fails, it does not reset the buffer to avoid touching a buffer that is corrupted.

2008-05-23ftrace: convert single large buffer into single pages.Steven Rostedt
Allocating large buffers for the tracer may fail easily. This patch converts the buffer from a large ordered allocation to single pages. It uses the struct page LRU field to link the pages together. Later patches may also implement dynamic increasing and decreasing of the trace buffers.

2008-05-23ftrace: latency tracer infrastructureSteven Rostedt
This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.
