Linus Torvalds 6cdfa54cd2 The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code. ... - Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when $var changes. - Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered. ie. onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes. - Add alternative for "trace()" action. Currently, to trigger a synthetic event, the name of that event is used as the handler name, which is inconsistent with the other actions. onchange(var).synthetic(param) where it can now be onchange(var).trace(synthetic, param). The older method will still be allowed, as long as the synthetic events do not overlap with other handler names. - The histogram documentation at testcases were updated for the new changes. Added a quicker way to enable set_ftrace_filter files, that will make it much quicker to bisect tracing a function that shouldn't be traced and crashes the kernel. (You can echo in numbers to set_ftrace_filter, and it will select the corresponding function that is in available_filter_functions). Some better displaying of the tracing data (and more information was added). The rest are small fixes and more clean ups to the code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCXIXXjRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qrSJAQCbGXAvZE+shfKRhbU1cu1C1nwRMHhH eeRecJs1RChGFgD/TwatD4FzARQPjfk7snQD5KWPpoRc9grUACC2cZcaWwQ= =LVBI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v5.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code: - Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when $var changes. - Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered. ie. onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes. - Add alternative for "trace()" action.
