linux.git/samples/user_events/example.c, branch v6.12.80 Clone of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git tracing/user_events: Use write ABI in example 2023-03-29T10:52:09+00:00 Beau Belgrave beaub@linux.microsoft.com 2023-03-28T23:52:15+00:00 9211ddaa78261373b50711c84de978cff8e2bd17 The ABI has changed to use a remote write approach. Update the example to show the expected use of this new ABI. Also remove debugfs path and use tracefs to ensure example works in more environments.

tracing: Always use canonical ftrace path 2023-02-18T19:34:09+00:00 Ross Zwisler zwisler@chromium.org 2023-02-15T22:33:45+00:00 2455f0e124d317dd08d337a7550a78a224d4ba41 The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

tracing/user_events: Use bits vs bytes for enabled status page data 2022-09-29T14:17:37+00:00 Beau Belgrave beaub@linux.microsoft.com 2022-07-28T23:33:08+00:00 39d6d08b2edf99c4b39a689a70bf0adee065b357 User processes may require many events and when they do the cache performance of a byte index status check is less ideal than a bit index. The previous event limit per-page was 4096, the new limit is 32,768. This change adds a bitwise index to the user_reg struct. Programs check that the bit at status_bit has a bit set within the status page(s).
