* [IA64] fix build warning in arch/ia64/oprofile/backtrace.cTony Luck2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | arch/ia64/oprofile/backtrace.c:63: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast Comparing a "u64 *" with an "unsigned long *". Make them match. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* [IA64] implement ticket locks for ItaniumTony Luck2009-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1fd0a7acf3780e9628465b77ea6a836). IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values. Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in the noise. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

* Combine instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentationMathieu Desnoyers2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Quoting Randy: "It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file, 20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into 20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing. However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make _one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES, and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

* [PATCH] Move Kprobes and Oprofile to "Instrumentation Support" menuPrasanna S Panchamukhi2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andrew Morton suggested to move kprobes from kernel hacking menu, since kernel hacking menu is in-appropriate for the Kprobes. This patch moves Kprobes and Oprofile under instrumentation menu. (akpm: it's not a natural fit, but things like djprobes and the s390 guys' statistics library need a home) Signed-of-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Cc: Philippe Elie <phil.el@wanadoo.fr> Cc: John Levon <levon@movementarian.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
