    s390/zcrypt: tracepoint definitions for zcrypt device driver. · 13b251bd
    Harald Freudenberger 提交于
    This patch introduces tracepoint definitions and tracepoint
    event invocations for the s390 zcrypt device.
    
    Currently there are just two tracepoint events defined.
    An s390_zcrypt_req request event occurs as soon as the
    request is recognized by the zcrypt ioctl function. This
    event may act as some kind of request-processing-starts-now
    indication.
    As late as possible within the zcrypt ioctl function there
    occurs the s390_zcrypt_rep event which may act as the point
    in time where the request has been processed by the kernel
    and the result is about to be transferred back to userspace.
    The glue which binds together request and reply event is the
    ptr parameter, which is the local buffer address where the
    request from userspace has been stored by the ioctl function.
    
    The main purpose of this zcrypt tracepoint patch is to get
    some data for performance measurements together with
    information about the kind of request and on which card and
    queue the request has been processed. It is not an ffdc
    interface as there is already code in the zcrypt device
    driver to serve the s390 debug feature interface.
