Sven Eckelmann d331a73994 batman-adv: Provide debug messages as trace events
A private debug logging infrastructure is currently provided via
$debug_fs/batman_adv/*/log when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is enabled. This is
not well integrated in the rest of the tracing infrastructure of the
kernel.

Other components (like mac80211 or ath10k) allow to gather the debug
messages using generic trace events which are better integrated. This makes
it possible to interact with them using the existing userspace tools.

The tracepoint batadv:batadv_dbg will now be available when
CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG and CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_TRACING is activated. The log
level mask is still used for filtering as usual.

A full system trace for offline parsing can be created (and read) using:

  $ batctl ll all
  $ trace-cmd record -e batadv:batadv_dbg
  $ trace-cmd report

The same can also be done without recording to a file

  $ batctl ll all
  $ trace-cmd stream -e batadv:batadv_dbg

The trace infrastructure is especially helpful when tracing processes:

  $ batctl ll all
  $ ./tools/perf/perf trace --event "batadv:*" batctl p 10.204.32.1

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
