* tracing/ftrace: make nop-tracer use polling wait for events on pipeFrederic Weisbecker2009-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: display events when they arrive Now that the events don't use wake_up() anymore, we need the nop tracer to poll waiting for events on the pipe. Especially because nop is useful to look at orphan traces types (traces types that don't rely on specific tracers) because it doesn't produce traces itself. And unlike other tracers that trigger specific traces periodically, nop triggers no traces by itself that can wake him.

* tracing/ftrace: make nop tracer using tracer flagsFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: give an example on how to use specific tracer flags This patch propose to use the nop tracer to provide an example for using the tracer's custom flags implementation. V2: replace structures and defines just after the headers includes for cleanliness. V3: replace defines by enum values.

* tracing/ftrace: change the type of the init() callbackFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed. A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie: -ENOMEM) if it fails. If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the error from the init callback. Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

* ftrace: remove trace array ctrlSteven Rostedt2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | Impact: remove obsolete variable in trace_array structure With the new start / stop method of ftrace, the ctrl variable in the trace_array structure is now obsolete. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* tracing/ftrace: replace none tracer by nop tracerFrédéric Weisbecker2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace "none" tracer by the recently created "nop" tracer. Both are pretty similar except that nop accepts TRACE_PRINT or TRACE_SPECIAL entries. And as a consequence, changing the size of the ring buffer now requires that tracing has already been disabled.

* tracing/ftrace: make nop tracer reset previous entriesFrédéric Weisbecker2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | If nop tracer is selected, some old entries from the previous tracer could still be enqueued. Tracing have to be reset.

* ftrace: add nop tracerSteven Noonan2008-10-14
A no-op tracer which can serve two purposes: 1. A template for development of a new tracer. 2. A convenient way to see ftrace_printk() calls without an irrelevant trace making the output messy.
