[v3,0/6] tracing: export event trace and trace_marker

Message

Tingwei Zhang Sept. 3, 2020, 12:17 a.m. UTC

Ftrace has ability to export trace packets to other destination.
Currently, only function trace can be exported. This series extends the
support to event trace and trace_maker. STM is one possible destination to
export ftrace. Use separate channel for each CPU to avoid mixing up packets
from different CPUs together.

Change from v2:
Change flag definition to BIT(). (Steven)
Add comment in stm_ftrace_write() to clarify it's safe to use 
smp_processor_id() here since preempt is disabled. (Steven) 

Change from v1:
All changes are suggested by Steven Rostedt.
User separate flag to control function trace, event trace and trace mark.
Allocate channels according to num_possible_cpu() dynamically.
Move ftrace_exports routines up so all ftrace can use them.

Tingwei Zhang (6):
  stm class: ftrace: change dependency to TRACING
  tracing: add flag to control different traces
  tracing: add trace_export support for event trace
  tracing: add trace_export support for trace_marker
  stm class: ftrace: enable supported trace export flag
  stm class: ftrace: use different channel accroding to CPU

Hi Alexander, Maxime, Aleandre,

May I know your comments for this patch set?

Thanks,

Everything except the last patch is

Reviewed-by: Alexander Shishkin <[e-mail]>

After that one is resolved either I can pick it up or Stephen. Either
way is fine with me.
