With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes (triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the top array. That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but this change sets the ground work for the change. When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init() function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place holder data that it was initialized to the last time. Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions, where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free() function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the place holder if it was allocade during the first init call. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
