      tracing: fix section mismatch in trace_hw_branches.c · a234aa9e
      Rakib Mullick authored
      The function bts_trace_init() references a variable
      bts_hotcpu_notifier which is marked
      as __cpuinitdata. Thus causes section mismatch. This patch fixes it.

       The function bts_trace_init() references

       This is often because bts_trace_init lacks a __cpuinitdata

      doc: mmiotrace.txt, buffer size control change · f9aa28ad
      Pekka Paalanen authored
      Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate
      
      The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses
      to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be
      lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user
      to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file.
      
      Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file
      was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained
      the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this
      file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the
      amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes.
      
      Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file
      tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no
      longer necessary.
      
      The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of
      the tracing framework.

      trace: mmiotrace to the tracer menu in Kconfig · 6bc5c366
      Pekka Paalanen authored
      Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout
      
      This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it
      was forgotten.
      
      CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable
      directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel
      configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.
      
      Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
      sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
      Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
      specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
      x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

      mmiotrace: count events lost due to not recording · 391b170f
      Pekka Paalanen authored
      Impact: enhances lost events counting in mmiotrace
      
      The tracing framework, or the ring buffer facility it uses, has a switch
      to stop recording data. When recording is off, the trace events will be
      lost. The framework does not count these, so mmiotrace has to count them
      itself.
