- Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed to this instance. - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that can hold 10K pages. - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps with debugging. - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled) - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes. - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold). - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold. - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been removed. - More selftests were added. - Some code clean ups as well. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZZ8p3BQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6ql2GAQDZg/zlFEiJHyTfWbCIE8pA3T5xbzKo 26TNxIZAxJJZpQEAvGFU5Smy14pG6soEoVMp8B6ZOANbqU8VVamhOL+r+Qw= =0OYG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can use to send events to user space.
