From 2521f2c228ad750701ba4702484e31d876dbc386 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Oberparleiter Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:28:08 -0700 Subject: gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).

Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was before cfcad62c74abfef83762dc05a556d21bdf3980a2 Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

Given that there are only a few minor areas in ring_buffer that have any reliance on CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, provide stubs for those and make it generally available.
