* Bugfix: avoid link error in Feather-Trace on x86Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If no events are defined but Feater-Trace support is enabled, then the current implementation generates a link error because the __event_table sections is absent. > arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `ft_disable_all_events': > (.text+0x242af): undefined reference to `__start___event_table' As a simple work around, we force zero-element array to always be "allocated" in the __event_table section. This ensures that we end up with a zero-byte section if no events are enabled, and does not affect the layout of the section if events are present. > bbb@ludwig:~/dev/litmus2010$ nm vmlinux | grep event_table > ffffffff81950cdc D __event_table_dummy > ffffffff81950cdc A __start___event_table > ffffffff81950cdc A __stop___event_table
* Make platform-specific Feather-Trace depend on !CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATABjoern B. Brandenburg2010-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Feather-Trace rewrites instructions in the kernel's .text segment. This segment may be write-protected if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is selected. In this case, fall back to the default flag-based Feather-Trace implementation. In the future, we could either adopt the ftrace method of rewriting .text addresses using non-.text mappings or we could consider replacing Feather-Trace with ftrace altogether. For now, this patch avoids unexpected runtime errors.
* Make __ARCH_HAS_FEATHER_TRACE a proper CONFIG_ variable.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-30
| | | | | | | | | The idea of the Feather-Trace default implementation is that LITMUS^RT should work without a specialized Feather-Trace implementation present. This was actually broken. Changes litmus/feather_trace.h to only include asm/feather_trace.h if actually promised by the architecture.
