Record LITMUS^RT timestamp in ftrace records

2014-10-21T14:02:52+00:00

Patch updates ftrace.h to record a litmus_clock() time stamp
in ftrace records.

Add tracepoint support

2014-10-21T14:01:38+00:00

This patch integrates LITMUS^RT's sched_trace_XXX() macros with
Linux's notion of tracepoints. This is useful to visualize schedules
in kernel shark and similar tools. Historically, LITMUS^RT's
sched_trace predates Linux's tracepoint infrastructure.

spi: Provide common spi_message processing loop

2014-04-16T13:05:55+00:00

The loops which SPI controller drivers use to process the list of transfers
in a spi_message are typically very similar and have some error prone areas
such as the handling of /CS. Help simplify drivers by factoring this code
out into the core - if drivers provide a transfer_one() function instead
of a transfer_one_message() function the core will handle processing at the
message level.

/CS can be controlled by either setting cs_gpio or providing a set_cs
function. If this is not possible for hardware reasons then both can be
omitted and the driver should continue to implement manual /CS handling.

This is a first step in refactoring and it is expected that there will be
further enhancements, for example factoring out of the mapping of transfers
for DMA and the initiation and completion of interrupt driven transfers.

spi: Provide trace points for message processing

2014-04-16T13:05:54+00:00

Provide tracepoints for the lifecycle of a message from submission to
completion and for the active time for masters to help with performance
analysis of SPI I/O.

tracing: Allow events to have NULL strings

2013-12-04T18:57:17+00:00

commit 4e58e54754dc1fec21c3a9e824bc108b05fdf46e upstream.

If an TRACE_EVENT() uses __assign_str() or __get_str on a NULL pointer
then the following oops will happen:

---[ end trace 01bc47bf519ec1b2 ]---

New tracepoints have been added that have allowed for NULL pointers
being assigned to strings. To fix this, change the TRACE_EVENT() code
to check for NULL and if it is, it will assign "(null)" to it instead
(similar to what glibc printf does).
