Subject: [PATCH] Linux Kernel Markers 0.2 for Linux 2.6.17
Good afternoon,
Following some very interesting ideas from Martin that shows that even
static function calls and inlined functions can be used in interesting
ways with markers to deploy dynamic tracers with easy access to local
function variables, I send this slightly improved version of Linux Kernel
Markers.
It has the same capabilities as the previous one and additionnaly checks
for string format consistency in every kernel configuration. The idea
behind this is to be told be the compiler as soon as a marker is broken.
These last emails convince me even more that a markup mechanism must
interface with every kind of instrumentation hooking we can think about,
both dynamic and static.
Mathieu
