Subject: [RFC 0/2] apic: tracing IPI events

hi,

I'm adding tracing of IPIs to the APIC code by hooking
following apic callbacks:

        void (*send_IPI_mask)(const struct cpumask *mask, int vector);
        void (*send_IPI_mask_allbutself)(const struct cpumask *mask,
                                         int vector);
        void (*send_IPI_allbutself)(int vector);
        void (*send_IPI_all)(int vector);
        void (*send_IPI_self)(int vector);


attached patches:
- 1/2 apic: adding apic_send_IPI_* methods for apic's IPI callbacks
- 2/2 apic,trace: IPI sent trace event.

I'm not sure this is the best way, maybe some more
general approach might be better.

please let me know what you think

wbr,
jirka
