From 769b0441f438c4bb4872cb8560eb6fe51bcc09ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 17:21:49 +0100 Subject: tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of trace_bprintk() Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc... V2: - Rebase against last changes - Fix mispell on the changelog V3: - Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Acked-by: Steven Rostedt LKML-Reference: <1236356510-8381-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/trace/Makefile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'kernel/trace/Makefile') diff --git a/kernel/trace/Makefile b/kernel/trace/Makefile index 46557ef4c379..c7a2943796eb 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/Makefile +++ b/kernel/trace/Makefile @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_TRACING) += trace.o obj-$(CONFIG_TRACING) += trace_clock.o obj-$(CONFIG_TRACING) += trace_output.o obj-$(CONFIG_TRACING) += trace_stat.o -obj-$(CONFIG_TRACE_BPRINTK) += trace_bprintk.o +obj-$(CONFIG_TRACING) += trace_printk.o obj-$(CONFIG_CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER) += trace_sched_switch.o obj-$(CONFIG_SYSPROF_TRACER) += trace_sysprof.o obj-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) += trace_functions.o -- cgit v1.2.3
