Subject: [RFC PATCHSET 0/6] timer/hrtimer/timer_stats: Improvement on timer_stats
Hi,
This patchset focus on two problem:
1)timer_stats_timer_*_start_info() should belong to timer core only.
It should not be seen by outsider, such as workqueue. And should
not resident in timer.h.
Patch-0001~0003 first remove the only explicit out call, then move
timer_stats_timer_*_start_info() from timer.h to timer.c.
2)call site recorded by timer_stats sometimes show the timer core functions
instead of the real call site.
Now /proc/timer_stats is like below on my machine:
---now---

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can notice tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), watchdog(), do_nanosleep()
is showed as the start_site.
And there is also something reflected in timer_list(AKA, more readable
start_site).
Any comments is appreciated.
Thanks,
Yong
Yong Zhang (6):
timer: expliciyly call timer_stats_timer_set_start_info() in add_timer()
workqueue: remove redundant timer_stats_timer_set_start_info()
timer: move timer_stats_timer_*_start_info() to kernel/timer.c
hrtimer: change call site of timer_stats_hrtimer_clear_start_info()
hrtimer: record more real start_site for timer_stats
timer_stats: make output more readable
