tracing: Remove tracepoint sample code

2013-01-25T16:22:11Z

The tracepoint sample code was used to teach developers how to create their own tracepoints. But now the trace_events have been added as a higher level that is used directly by developers today. Only the trace_event code should use the tracepoint interface directly and no new tracepoints should be added. Besides, the example had a race condition with the use of the ->d_name.name dentry field, as pointed out by Al Viro. Best just to remove the code so it wont be used by other developers.

samples/rpmsg: add an rpmsg driver sample

2012-02-08T20:54:05Z

Add an rpmsg driver sample, which demonstrates how to communicate with an AMP-configured remote processor over the rpmsg bus. Note how once probed, the driver can immediately start sending messages using the rpmsg_send() API, without having to worry about creating endpoints or allocating rpmsg addresses: all that work is done by the rpmsg bus, and the required information is already embedded in the rpmsg channel that the driver is probed with. In this sample, the driver simply sends a "Hello World!" message to the remote processor repeatedly. Designed with Brian Swetland .

Merge commit 'perf/core' into perf/hw-breakpoint

2009-10-17T23:12:33Z

Conflicts: kernel/Makefile kernel/trace/Makefile kernel/trace/trace.h samples/Makefile Merge reason: We need to be uptodate with the perf events development branch because we plan to rewrite the breakpoints API on top of perf events.
