ftrace: Update the kconfig for DYNAMIC_FTRACE

2013-03-14T18:32:06+00:00

commit db05021d49a994ee40a9735d9c3cb0060c9babb8 upstream.

The prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and
enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement:

 "enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically"

This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel,
but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing
and has confused people enough to give wrong information during
presentations.

Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references
that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update
the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over
five years.

Time to bring the text up to the current decade.

ftrace: Build without frame pointers on Microblaze

2011-04-21T13:06:24+00:00

Microblaze doesn't need/support FRAME_POINTERS in order to have a working
function tracer.

The patch remove Kconfig warning.

Warning log:

trace, documentation: Fix branch profiling location in debugfs

2011-03-17T08:10:45+00:00

The debugfs interface for branch profiling is through

	/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/branch_annotated
	/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/branch_all

so update the Kconfig accordingly.

perf: Clean up power events by introducing new, more generic ones

2011-01-04T07:16:54+00:00

Add these new power trace events:

 power:cpu_idle
 power:cpu_frequency
 power:machine_suspend

The old C-state/idle accounting events:
  power:power_start
  power:power_end

Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old
tracepoints for compatibility):

  power:cpu_idle

and
  power:power_frequency

is replaced with:
  power:cpu_frequency

power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.

Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer
(kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it.

the type= field got removed from both, it was never
used and the type is differed by the event type itself.

perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.

[S390] ftrace: build without frame pointers on s390

2010-11-10T09:05:54+00:00

s390 doesn't need FRAME_POINTERS in order to have a working function tracer.
We don't need frame pointers in order to get strack traces since we always
have valid backchains by using the -mkernel-backchain gcc option.

ftrace: Rename config option HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT

2010-10-15T03:32:44+00:00

The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

ftrace/x86: Add support for C version of recordmcount

2010-10-14T20:52:41+00:00

This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and
compile times show ~ 12% improvement.

After verifying this works, other archs can add:

 HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD

in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount
instead of the perl version.

ARM: 6314/1: ftrace: allow build without frame pointers on ARM

2010-09-02T14:24:53+00:00

With a new enough GCC, ARM function tracing can be supported without the
need for frame pointers.  This is essential for Thumb-2 support, since
frame pointers aren't available then.
