      percpu: make percpu symbols under kernel/ and mm/ unique · 1871e52c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch updates percpu related symbols under kernel/ and mm/ such
      that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.
      This serves two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global
      percpu symbol collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from
      percpu symbols.

      timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function calls · 507e1231
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
      stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
      __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
      fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.
      
      So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
      to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
      when timer stats are disabled.
      
      In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
      pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
      consumption by 1 - 1.5%.

      kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0' · 9281acea
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
      trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
      buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
      forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
      because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
      
      This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
      
      * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
        is fixed.
      
      * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
        MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
        trailing '\0'.  Fix it.

      [PATCH] Add debugging feature /proc/timer_stat · 82f67cd9
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Add /proc/timer_stats support: debugging feature to profile timer expiration.
      Both the starting site, process/PID and the expiration function is captured.
      This allows the quick identification of timer event sources in a system.
      
      Sample output:
      
      # echo 1 > /proc/timer_stats
      # cat /proc/timer_stats
