2009-09-15tracing: optimize global_trace_clock cachelinesSteven Rostedt
The prev_trace_clock_time is only read or written to when the trace_clock_lock is taken. For better perfomance, they should share the same cache line. Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-03-22tracing: fix four sparse warningsDmitri Vorobiev
Impact: cleanup. This patch fixes the following sparse warnings: kernel/trace/trace.c:385:9: warning: symbol 'trace_seq_to_buffer' was not declared. Should it be static? kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:29:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock_local' was not declared. Should it be static? kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:54:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock' was not declared. Should it be static? kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:74:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock_global' was not declared. Should it be static?

2009-03-10trace_clock: fix preemption bugPeter Zijlstra
Using the function_graph tracer in recent kernels generates a spew of preemption BUGs. Fix this by not requiring trace_clock_local() users to disable preemption themselves.

2009-02-26tracing: implement trace_clock_*() APIsIngo Molnar
Impact: implement new tracing timestamp APIs Add three trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision tradeoffs: - local: CPU-local trace clock - medium: scalable global clock with some jitter - global: globally monotonic, serialized clock Make the ring-buffer use the local trace clock internally.
