From 769b0441f438c4bb4872cb8560eb6fe51bcc09ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 17:21:49 +0100 Subject: tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of trace_bprintk() Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc... V2: - Rebase against last changes - Fix mispell on the changelog V3: - Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Acked-by: Steven Rostedt LKML-Reference: <1236356510-8381-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/trace/trace_output.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel/trace/trace_output.h') diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_output.h b/kernel/trace/trace_output.h index 8a34d688ed6..3b90e6ade1a 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_output.h +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_output.h @@ -18,6 +18,8 @@ struct trace_event { extern int trace_seq_printf(struct trace_seq *s, const char *fmt, ...) __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3))); extern int +trace_seq_bprintf(struct trace_seq *s, const char *fmt, const u32 *binary); +extern int seq_print_ip_sym(struct trace_seq *s, unsigned long ip, unsigned long sym_flags); extern ssize_t trace_seq_to_user(struct trace_seq *s, char __user *ubuf, -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
