[*] Trace syscalls ... [*] enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically in reality, because the timestamp getting function are arch-dependent, lots of the tracers are arch-dependent. the arch-dependent part is that: sched_clock(). the original sched_clock() in mips is jiffes based, only give 10ms precision in 1000HZ, which is not enough for ftrace. to get high-precise timestamp, we must implement a new native_sched_clock() via reading the MIPS clock counter, but since it is only 32bit long, so, overflow should be handled carefully. this -v3 patch series is based on the -v2 patch series and incorporates the feedback from Steven Rostedt and Thomas Gleixner. !!NOTE!! this -v3 not support modules yet, really hope this can be fixed in -v4 patch. read the following document, and play with it: Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt Wu Zhangjin (7): mips static function tracer support add an endian argument to scripts/recordmcount.pl mips dynamic function tracer support filter local function prefixed by $L mips function graph tracer support mips specific clock function to get precise timestamp mips specific system call tracer arch/mips/Kconfig | 7 + arch/mips/Makefile | 2 + arch/mips/include/asm/ftrace.h | 35 ++++- arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h | 2 + arch/mips/include/asm/reg.h | 5 + arch/mips/include/asm/syscall.h | 84 +++++++++ arch/mips/include/asm/thread_info.h | 5 +- arch/mips/kernel/Makefile | 12 ++ arch/mips/kernel/csrc-r4k.c | 2 +- arch/mips/kernel/entry.S | 2 +- arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c | 344 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/mips/kernel/ftrace_clock.c | 71 +++++++ arch/mips/kernel/mcount.S | 184 +++++++++++++++++++ arch/mips/kernel/mips_ksyms.c | 5 + arch/mips/kernel/ptrace.c | 14 ++- arch/mips/kernel/scall64-o32.S | 2 +- arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 1 + kernel/trace/trace_clock.c | 2 +- scripts/Makefile.build | 1 + scripts/recordmcount.pl | 30 +++- 20 files changed, 799 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/mips/include/asm/syscall.h create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/ftrace_clock.c create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/mcount.S -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
