From 12883efb670c28dff57dcd7f4f995a1ffe153b2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 09:24:35 -0500 Subject: tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max latency. The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat. This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred. The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.
