* tracing: Pushdown the bkl tracepoints callsFrederic Weisbecker2009-09-281-13/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we are calling the bkl tracepoint callbacks just before the bkl lock/unlock operations, ie the tracepoint call is not inside a lock_kernel() function but inside a lock_kernel() macro. Hence the bkl trace event header must be included from smp_lock.h. This raises some nasty circular header dependencies: linux/smp_lock.h -> trace/events/bkl.h -> trace/define_trace.h -> trace/ftrace.h -> linux/ftrace_event.h -> linux/hardirq.h -> linux/smp_lock.h This results in incomplete event declarations, spurious event definitions and other kind of funny behaviours. This is hardly fixable without ugly workarounds. So instead, we push the file name, line number and function name as lock_kernel() parameters, so that we only deal with the trace event header from lib/kernel_lock.c This adds two parameters to lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() but it should be fine wrt to performances because this pair dos not seem to be called in fast paths.

* tracing/bkl: Add bkl ftrace eventsFrederic Weisbecker2009-09-241-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add two events lock_kernel and unlock_kernel() to trace the bkl uses. This opens the door for userspace tools to perform statistics about the callsites that use it, dependencies with other locks (by pairing the trace with lock events), use with recursivity and so on... The {__reacquire,release}_kernel_lock() events are not traced because these are called from schedule, thus the sched events are sufficient to trace them. Example of a trace: hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 165.875501: unlock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1358 __blkdev_put() hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 167.832974: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1167 __blkdev_get() How to get the callsites that acquire it recursively: cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl echo "lock_depth > 0" > filter firefox-4951 [001] 206.276967: unlock_kernel: depth: 1, fs/reiserfs/super.c:575 reiserfs_dirty_inode() You can also filter by file and/or line. v2: Use of FILTER_PTR_STRING attribute for files and lines fields to make them traceable.

* Add cycle_kernel_lock()Jonathan Corbet2008-06-201-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | A number of driver functions are so obviously trivial that they do not need the big kernel lock - at least not overtly. It turns out that the acquisition of the BKL in driver open() functions can perform a sort of poor-hacker's serialization function, delaying the open operation until the driver is certain to have completed its initialization. Add a simple cycle_kernel_lock() function for these cases to make it clear that there is no need to *hold* the BKL, just to be sure that we can acquire it.

* [PATCH] m68k: thread_info header cleanupAl Viro2005-11-131-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a) in smp_lock.h #include of sched.h and spinlock.h moved under #ifdef CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL. b) interrupt.h now explicitly pulls sched.h (not via smp_lock.h from hardirq.h as it used to) c) in three more places we need changes to compensate for (a) - one place in arch/sparc needs string.h now, hardirq.h needs forward declaration of task_struct and preempt.h needs direct include of thread_info.h. d) thread_info-related helpers in sched.h and thread_info.h put under ifndef __HAVE_THREAD_FUNCTIONS. Obviously safe.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+54
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
