The only thing I would recommend now, is to write selftests to test both osnoise and timerlat tracers. Note, this should be a separate patch set. -- Steve
Currently, osnoise and timerlat run only on a single instance only. To lift this limitation, this series adds support for parallel instances of the same tracer. For example, making it possible to run one osnoise instance for the tracer output and another for a set of tracepoints. This patchset is the kernel dependencies for RTLA. It was being sent along with RTLA [1], but we split the kernel and user-space patch sets. Steve, feel free to drop the last two if they break anything. [1] RTLA: An interface for osnoise/timerlat tracers: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1635284863.git.bristot@kernel.org/ Changes from v6: - Fix compilation problems for the case in which osnoise enabled, but timerlat is not (Steven) - Remove ifdefs from inside functions (Steven) Changes that happened while in the RTLA patchset: - Fix comment on start_per_cpu_kthreads() (Steven) - Fix msg log on patch 1 - Add comments about the barrier need for trace_nmi_enter/exit - Fix RCU usage in osnoise_unregister_instance() (Steven/Paul) - Add lockdep checks in osnoise_unregister/unregister_instance() (Steven/Paul) - Improve the explanation about the multi instances support (Steven) Daniel Bristot de Oliveira (9): trace/osnoise: Do not follow tracing_cpumask trace/osnoise: Improve comments about barrier need for NMI callbacks trace/osnoise: Split workload start from the tracer start trace/osnoise: Use start/stop_per_cpu_kthreads() on osnoise_cpus_write() trace/osnoise: Support a list of trace_array *tr trace/osnoise: Remove TIMERLAT ifdefs from inside functions trace/osnoise: Allow multiple instances of the same tracer trace/osnoise: Remove STACKTRACE ifdefs from inside functions trace/osnoise: Remove PREEMPT_RT ifdefs from inside functions kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c | 607 ++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 424 insertions(+), 183 deletions(-)
