design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint and have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown. The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users. The clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling a module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and just enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not. This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought. As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name, the tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor. This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are enabled. The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were searched for. This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the change was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the test found some errors, but after it was already submitted to the for-next branch and not to be rebased. Sparse errors were detected by Fengguang Wu's bot tests, and my internal tests discovered that the anonymous union initialization triggered a bug in older gcc compilers. Luckily, there was a bugzilla for the gcc bug which gave a work around to the problem. The third and fourth patch handled the sparse error and the gcc bug respectively. A final patch was tagged along to fix a missing documentation for the README file. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJTR+pwAAoJEKQekfcNnQGuvfoH/A4XZu4/1h2ZuKhzGi6lrrWr +zHUQ+JmGiAYRziQFwr2t/gqJ2vmDfHJnbDjKi6Emx8JcxesHas6CQOWps4zEic0 dwYSQjvuGNGFIFt+7I0K1OxfVVdt2PQ2lVrB5WgYdbash5J4Bi+09QBv0RbUKheo 37dKSeN3pbsuQsR70OTVP8laG3dA9IbHW7PsKnxIEB5zeIUHUBME/QdPPj/CuJwk wxZjXC2dbc3rdRlQjTVtWV3ZkGgZJB0k+JxjvZTA0N6u8Hj8LiFPuNawzf7ceBHx gc++57+WuMW0f0X/ar5/+3UPGFQKMSvKmdxIQCnWXQz5seTYYKDEx7mTH22fxgg= =OgeQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-3.15-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This includes the final patch to clean up and fix the issue with the design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint and have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown.
