      tracing/core: make the read callbacks reentrants · d7350c3f
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the
      same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be
      reentrants.
      
      Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized
      the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(),
      and the seq helpers.
      
      Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and
      trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function
      tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for
      the other to finish its read call.
      
      The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access
      to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be
      changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private
      pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another
      function.
      
      The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to
      the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside
      the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the
      tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current
      tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch
      prediction for that.
      
      Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one
      iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case
      of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a
      silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the
      ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the
      readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in
      case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped
      anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what
      you think about it.

      tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files · b04cc6b1
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: split up tracing output per cpu
      
      Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are
      available to the user to let him extracting the trace output:
      
      - trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader
        but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are
        available.
      
      - trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more
        informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ...
      
      - trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block
        waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe).
      
      The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up
      inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations,
      sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer
      capture.
      
      The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and
      select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus.
      But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time
      one trace buffer per cpu.
      
      So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/.
      
      Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and
      one trace file per cpu.
      
      Which means if you have two cpus, you will have:
      
       trace0
       trace1
       trace_pipe0
       trace_pipe1
      
      And of course, reading these files will have the same effect
      than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see
      the traces from the given cpu.
      
      The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on
      their original place.
      
      Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid
      racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a
      bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu.
      
      Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and
      trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or
      trace_pipe1.
      
      Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common
      trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on
      trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already
      a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

      /debug/tracing/latency_trace is an old legacy format we kept from

      tracing/hw-branch-tracing: convert bts-tracer mutex to a spinlock · 2d542cf3
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Impact: fix CPU hotplug lockup
      
      bts_hotcpu_handler() is called with irqs disabled, so using mutex_lock()
      is a no-no.
      
      All the BTS codepaths here are atomic (they do not schedule), so using
      a spinlock is the right solution.

      tracing: add event trace infrastructure · b77e38aa
      Steven Rostedt authored
      This patch creates the event tracing infrastructure of ftrace.
      It will create the files:
      
       /debug/tracing/available_events
       /debug/tracing/set_event
      
      The available_events will list the trace points that have been
      registered with the event tracer.
      
      set_events will allow the user to enable or disable an event hook.
      
      example:
      
       # echo sched_wakeup > /debug/tracing/set_event
      
      Will enable the sched_wakeup event (if it is registered).
      
       # echo "!sched_wakeup" >> /debug/tracing/set_event
      
      Will disable the sched_wakeup event (and only that event).
      
       # echo > /debug/tracing/set_event
      
      Will disable all events (notice the '>')
      
       # cat /debug/tracing/available_events > /debug/tracing/set_event
      
      Will enable all registered event hooks.

      i2c_algo_bit_data.timeout is supposed to be in jiffies, so drivers

      Jean Delvare authored
      The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies
      for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however
      not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The
      timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the
      original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility.

      As pointed out by Jean Delvare, the condition we are waiting for should
      also be tested before the timeout. With the current order, you could
      exit with a timeout error while the job is actually done.

          1 instead of -1 enables only FCP header logging,

                                  if(firesat->channel[k].active == 0)
                                          firesat->channel[k].pid =

          Looks bogus in several respects. For now let's just add braces to the if
          because that seems to be what the author meant.

      firedtv: allow build without input subsystem
      
          !CONFIG_INPUT is very unlikely on systems on which firedtv is of
          interest.  But we can easily support it.
      
      Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
      firedtv: replace EXTRA_CFLAGS by ccflags
      
          The former are deprecated.
          The latter can depend on Kconfig variables.
      
      Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
      firedtv: concentrate ieee1394 dependencies
      
          Move the entire interface with drivers/ieee1394 to firedtv-1394.c.
          Move 1394-independent module initialization code to firedtv-dvb.c.
      
          This prepares interfacing with drivers/firewire.

      firedtv: amend Kconfig menu prompt
      
      Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
      firedtv: remove kernel version compatibility macro
      
      Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
      firedtv: combine header files
      
          avc.h and firedtv-*.h are small and currently not shared with other
          drivers, hence concatenate them all into firedtv.h.
      
      Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
      firedtv: misc style touch-ups
      
          Standardize on lower-case hexadecimal constants.  Adjust whitespace.
          Omit unnecessary pointer type casts and an unnecessary list head
          initialization.  Use dev_printk.
      
      Wed Feb 11 21:21:04 CET 2009
      firedtv: avc, ci: remove unused constants
      
      Wed Feb 11 21:21:04 CET 2009
      firedtv: avc: remove bitfields from read descriptor response operands
      
          Don't use bitfields in struct types of on-the-wire data.
      
      Wed Feb 11 21:21:04 CET 2009
      firedtv: avc: remove bitfields from DSD command operands
      
          Don't use bitfields in struct types of on-the-wire data.
      
      Wed Feb 11 21:21:04 CET 2009
      firedtv: avc: header file cleanup
      
          Remove unused constants and declarations.
          Move privately used constants into .c files.
      
      Wed Feb 11 21:21:04 CET 2009
      firedtv: avc: remove bitfields from FCP frame types
      
          Don't use bitfields in struct types of on-the-wire data.
      
          Also move many privately used constants from avc.h to avc.c
          and remove some unused constants.

      firedtv: avc: fix offset in avc_tuner_get_ts
      
          The parentheses were wrong.  It didn't matter though because this code
          only writes a 0 into an area which is already initialized to 0.
      
      Sun, 18 Jan 2009 16:30:00 +0100 (CET)
      firedtv: avc: reduce stack usage, remove two typedefs
      
          It is safe to share a memory buffer for command frame and response frame
          because the response data come in after the command frame was last used.
      
          Even less stack would be required if only the actual required frame size
          instead of the entire FCP register size was allocated.
      
          Also, rename the defined types AVCCmdFrm and AVCRspFrm to
          struct avc_command_frame and struct avc_response_frame.
          TODO:  Remove the bitfields in these types.

      firedtv: iso: move code to firedtv-1394
      
      Sun, 18 Jan 2009 16:30:00 +0100 (CET)
      firedtv: iso: remove unnecessary struct type definitions
      
      Sun, 18 Jan 2009 16:30:00 +0100 (CET)
      firedtv: iso: style changes and fixlets
      
          Add cleanup after failure in setup_iso_channel.
          Replace printk() by dv_err().
          Decrease indentation level in rawiso_activity_cb().

          Renamed struct firedtv *firedtv to struct firedtv *fdtv and
          firedtv_foo_bar() to fdtv_foo_bar() for brevity.

      firedtv: rename files from firesat to firedtv
      Signed-off-by: default avatarRambaldi <Rambaldi@xs4all.nl>
      
          Additional changes by Stefan Richter:
      
          Name the directory "firewire" instead of "firedtv".
          Standardize on "-" instead of "_" in file names, because that's what
          drivers/firewire/ and drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/ use too.
          Build fix.
