Subject: [GIT PULL v2] tracing: Cleanups and fixes to syscall tracepoints
and added traceevent macro
Linus,
Let's try this again. We fixed the issue with the breaking of another
arch with the syscall patches. But in the mean time I was informed that
the __field() macro no longer handles complex variables like
structures. This is needed for work being done for the RAS subsystem.
It doesn't affect any existing tracepoints but it fixes an issues that
should have worked before and will be needed in the future. More
details below and in the commit messages.
This includes three patches from Oleg Nesterov. The first is a fix to a
race condition that happens between enabling/disabling syscall tracepoints
and new process creations (the check to go into the ptrace path for a process
can be set when it shouldn't, or not set when it should). Not a major bug
but one that should be fixed and even applied to stable.
The other two patches are cleanup/fixes that are not that critical, but
for an -rc1 release would be nice to have. They both deal with syscall
tracepoints.
It also includes a patch to introduce a new macro for the TRACE_EVENT()
format called __field_struct(). Originally, __field() was used to record
any variable into a trace event, but with the addition of setting the
"is signed" attribute, the check causes anything but a primitive variable
to fail to compile. That is, structs and unions can't be used as they
once were. When the "is signed" check was introduce there were only
primitive variables being recorded. But that will change soon and it
was reported that __field() causes build failures.
To solve the __field() issue, __field_struct() is introduced to allow
trace_events to be able to record complex types too.
