      [PATCH] s390: debug feature changes · 66a464db
      Michael Holzheu 提交于
      This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
      Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
      Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
      to memory fragmentation.  Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
      subbuffers with pagesize.  Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
      memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.
      
      In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
      implemented.  It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
      new debugfs file instance.  When writing a number into this file, the trace
      buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.
      
      In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
      in the "proc" filesystem.  Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
      should be used for debugging purposes.  This patch moves the debug feature
      from procfs to debugfs.
      
      Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
      the debug feature had to be adjusted.
