Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] tracing: drivers: devfreq: add basic trace mechanism

Hi all,

This is v2 which implements Steven's suggestions.

This patch set adds support for tracing in devfreq framework. It is related
to the discussion regarding devfreq workqueue mechanism and wake-ups.
These two tracing patches have been submitted in larger patch set, which
needs more discussion. For the further discussion and development there
is a need of measurements/testing, though. It was agreed that trace events
would help. The whole discussion is here [1].

With these patches it is possible to capture current behaviour for the
devfreq subsystem and devices such as when and which workqueue is used,
on which CPU, what is the load and frequency of the device.

v2:
- simplified arguments list, according to Steven's comments, with only
one arg: 'devfreq' and the rest fields taken from there.
v1:
- moved long '/' operation to post-processing phase, according to Seven's
comments [2]
- re-ordered fields in the structure to avoid holes, according to Seven's
comments [3]
- removed unneeded variable, according to Chanwoo's comment [4]
basic in larget patch set:
- added support for trace events

I did not dare to add 'Reviewed-by: Chanwoo Choi <[email protected]>'
for the 1st patch, which was in [5], since the code slightly changed.
The 2nd patch has it.

Regards,
Lukasz Luba

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] trace: events: add devfreq trace event file

The patch adds a new file for with trace events for devfreq
framework. They are used for performance analysis of the framework.
It also contains updates in MAINTAINERS file adding new entry for
devfreq maintainers.

I case of __entry->total_time is zero,
why do you show '100' instead of '0'(zero)?
I think that it might make the some confusion for user.

If it show the '100' in case of "__entry->total_time is zero",
it cannot distinguish between the real 100% utilization
and "total_time is zero".

Good point, I will change it.
