sched: Generic migrate_disable

2012-04-10T21:40:39+00:00

Make migrate_disable() be a preempt_disable() for !rt kernels. This
allows generic code to use it but still enforces that these code
sections stay relatively small.

A preemptible migrate_disable() accessible for general use would allow
people growing arbitrary per-cpu crap instead of clean these things
up.

tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output

2012-03-27T16:05:44+00:00

When reading the trace file, the records of each of the per_cpu buffers
are examined to find the next event to print out. At the point of looking
at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is
chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size
that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to
the output functions to be incorrect.

In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it
is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of
back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the
fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces
would not be fully printed.

Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected.

tracing: Keep NMI watchdog from triggering when dumping trace

2012-03-02T03:06:48+00:00

As ftrace_dump() (called by ftrace_dump_on_oops) disables interrupts
as it dumps its output to the console, it can keep interrupts disabled
for long periods of time. This is likely to trigger the NMI watchdog,
and it can disrupt the output of critical data.

Add a touch_nmi_watchdog() to each event that is written to the screen
to keep the NMI watchdog from affecting the output.

tracing/ring-buffer: Only have tracing_on disable tracing buffers

2012-02-22T20:50:28+00:00

As the ring-buffer code is being used by other facilities in the
kernel, having tracing_on file disable *all* buffers is not a desired
affect. It should only disable the ftrace buffers that are being used.

Move the code into the trace.c file and use the buffer disabling
for tracing_on() and tracing_off(). This way only the ftrace buffers
will be affected by them and other kernel utilities will not be
confused to why their output suddenly stopped.

ftrace: sched_switch plugin is deprecated

2012-02-13T14:14:47+00:00

Actually, sched_switch function tracer is merged into wakeup/wakeup_rt
Update 'mini-HOWTO' for ftrace(Kernel function tracer).
If we want to trace "sched:sched_switch" to trace sched_switch func,
We may utilize event option.(e.g: trace-cmd list -e | grep sched)
This patch is based on Linux-3.3.rc2-SMP-PREEMPT
