| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stephen Rothwell reported tht this warning started triggering in linux-next: In file included from init/main.c:27: include/linux/tty.h: In function ‘tty_kref_get’: include/linux/tty.h:330: warning: ‘______f’ is static but declared in inline function ‘tty_kref_get’ which is not static Which gcc emits for 'extern inline' functions that nevertheless define static variables. Change it to 'static inline', which is the norm in the kernel anyway. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* | x86, bts, ftrace: a BTS ftrace plug-in prototypeMarkus Metzger2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: add new ftrace plugin A prototype for a BTS ftrace plug-in. The tracer collects branch trace in a cyclic buffer for each cpu. The tracer is not configurable and the trace for each snapshot is appended when doing cat /debug/tracing/trace. This is a proof of concept that will be extended with future patches to become a (hopefully) useful tool.

* | x86, bts, ptrace: move BTS buffer allocation from ds.c into ptrace.cMarkus Metzger2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: restructure DS memory allocation to be done by the usage site of DS Require pre-allocated buffers in ds.h. Move the BTS buffer allocation for ptrace into ptrace.c. The pointer to the allocated buffer is stored in the traced task's task_struct together with the handle returned by ds_request_bts().

* | x86, bts: base in-kernel ds interface on handlesMarkus Metzger2008-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: generalize the DS code to shared buffers Change the in-kernel ds.h interface to identify the tracer via a handle returned on ds_request_~(). Tracers used to be identified via their task_struct. The changes are required to allow DS to be shared between different tasks, which is needed for perfmon2 and for ftrace. For ptrace, the handle is stored in the traced task's task_struct. This should probably go into a (arch-specific) ptrace context some time.

This resulted in a regression when two multichannel network cards were placed in a system with only one IO_APIC - causing the networking driver to not have the right IRQ and the device not coming up. Remove the dynamic allocation logic leftovers and simply return NR_IRQS in probe_nr_irqs() for now.

A patch set was send previously (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/10/407). But introduce some other problem, reported by Rufus (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/11/46). Then Ingo Molnar suggest that, it's best to remove __init from xsave_cntxt_init(void). Which is the second patch in this series. Now, this one removes the following warning.

But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses to the stack. So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current only when the tracer is activated. Typical scheme when tracer is activated: - allocate a return stack for each task in global list. - fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task - exit: free return stack of current - idle init: same as fork I chose a default depth of 50.
