      fastboot: fix issues and improve output of bootgraph.pl · 709790a9
      Arjan van de Ven authored
      David Sanders reported some issues with bootgraph.pl's display
      of his sytems bootup; this commit fixes these by scaling the graph
      not from 0 - end time but from the first initcall to the end time;
      the minimum display size etc also now need to scale with this, as does
      the axis display.

      Add a script to visualize the kernel boot process / time · f9b9796a
      Arjan van de Ven authored
      When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize
      what is going on at which time. In addition, with some of the initializing
      going asynchronous soon, it's valuable to track/print which worker thread
      is executing the initialization.
      
      This patch adds a script to turn a dmesg into a SVG graph (that can be
      shown with tools such as InkScape, Gimp or Firefox) and a small change
      to the initcall code to print the PID of the thread calling the initcall
      (so that the script can work out the parallelism).
