      Linux Kernel Markers: support multiple probes · fb40bd78
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers.  Common case
      (one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
      supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.
      
      - Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.
      
      Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
      callback instead of the marker site.
      
      Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
      supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
      arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
      preempt disable section.
      
      - Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
        armed.
      
      Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.
      
      This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
      "arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
      va_list * instead of a "...".
      
      If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
      time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
      connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.
      
      It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :
      
      Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
      with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
      a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.
