If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.

Impact: implement new tracing timestamp APIs Add three trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision tradeoffs: - local: CPU-local trace clock - medium: scalable global clock with some jitter - global: globally monotonic, serialized clock Make the ring-buffer use the local trace clock internally.

Impact: add new tracepoints Add them to the generic IRQ code, that way every architecture gets these new tracepoints, not just x86. Using Steve's new 'TRACE_FORMAT', I can get function graph trace as follows using the original two IRQ tracepoints: 3) | handle_IRQ_event() { 3) | /* (irq_handler_entry) irq=28 handler=eth0 */ 3) | e1000_intr_msi() { 3) 2.460 us | __napi_schedule(); 3) 9.416 us | } 3) | /* (irq_handler_exit) irq=28 handler=eth0 return=handled */ 3) + 22.935 us | } Signed-off-by:Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

Impact: restructure the VFS layout of per CPU trace buffers The per cpu trace files are all in a single directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu. In case of a large number of cpu, the content of this directory becomes messy so we create now one directory per cpu inside /debug/tracing/per_cpu which contain each their own trace_pipe and trace files. Ie: /debug/tracing$ ls -R per_cpu per_cpu: cpu0 cpu1 per_cpu/cpu0: trace trace_pipe per_cpu/cpu1: trace trace_pipe Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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.

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. Signed-off-by:

With a postfix decrement these timeouts reach -1 rather than 0, but after the loop it is tested whether they have become 0. 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.

This enables FE_CAN_FEC_AUTO also for FireDTV-S2 devices which is possible as long as only DVB-S channels are used. FE_CAN_FEC_AUTO would be wrong for DVB-S2 channels, but those cannot be used yet since the driver is not yet converted to S2API. Signed-off-by:

Combination of the following changes: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:21:10 +0100 (CET) firedtv: reinstate debug logging option Henrik Kurelid tells me that FCP debug logging (which I removed during cleanups) is still useful when working on driver issues together with end users. So bring it back in an updated form with only 60% of the original code footprint. Logging can be enabled with # echo -1 > /sys/module/firedtv/parameters/debug 1 instead of -1 enables only FCP header logging, 2 instead of -1 enables only hexdumps of the entire FCP frames. 0 switches logging off again.

Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009 firedtv: rename a file once more At the moment, about a third of avc.c is specific to FireDTVs rather than generic AV/C code. Rename it to firedtv-avc.c. Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009 firedtv: dvb demux: more compact channels backing store Replace struct firedtv_channel { bool active; int pid; } channel[16]; by unsigned long channel_active; u16 channel_pid[16];. Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009 firedtv: dvb demux: some simplifications c->active was unnecessarily cleared twice. Also, by marking the channel inactive before the for loop, the loop becomes identical with fdtv_channel_collect(). Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009 firedtv: dvb demux: remove a bogus loop This loop is unnecessary because - only active channel[].pid's will be sent to the device, - when a channel is activated, its pid is set to dvbdmxfeed->pid. Perhaps the original code was there because it was initially not fully covered by the fdtv->demux_mutex. Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009 firedtv: dvb demux: fix mutex protection fdtv_start_feed() accessed the channel list unsafely. Fully serialize it with itself and fdtv_stop_feed(). Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009 firedtv: dvb demux: fix missing braces Original code was: ... case DMX_TS_PES_OTHER: //Dirty fix to keep firesat->channel pid-list up to date for(k=0;k<16;k++){ if(firesat->channel[k].active == 0) firesat->channel[k].pid = dvbdmxfeed->pid; break; } channel = firesat_channel_allocate(firesat); break; default: ...
