* Tracing hooks
*
* Copyright (C) 2008-2009 Red Hat, Inc. All rights reserved.
*
* This file defines hook entry points called by core code where
* user tracing/debugging support might need to do something. These
* entry points are called tracehook_*(). Each hook declared below
* has a detailed kerneldoc comment giving the context (locking et
* al) from which it is called, and the meaning of its return value.
*
* Each function here typically has only one call site, so it is ok
* to have some nontrivial tracehook_*() inlines. In all cases, the
* fast path when no tracing is enabled should be very short.
*
* The purpose of this file and the tracehook_* layer is to consolidate
* the interface that the kernel core and arch code uses to enable any
* user debugging or tracing facility (such as ptrace). The interfaces
* here are carefully documented so that maintainers of core and arch
* code do not need to think about the implementation details of the
* tracing facilities. Likewise, maintainers of the tracing code do not
* need to understand all the calling core or arch code in detail, just
* documented circumstances of each call, such as locking conditions.
*
* If the calling core code changes so that locking is different, then
* it is ok to change the interface documented here. The maintainer of
* core code changing should notify the maintainers of the tracing code
* that they need to work out the change.
*
* Some tracehook_*() inlines take arguments that the current tracing
* implementations might not necessarily use. These function signatures
* are chosen to pass in all the information that is on hand in the
* caller and might conceivably be relevant to a tracer, so that the
* core code won't have to be updated when tracing adds more features.
* If a call site changes so that some of those parameters are no longer
* already on hand without extra work, then the tracehook_* interface
* can change so there is no make-work burden on the core code. The
* maintainer of core code changing should notify the maintainers of the
* tracing code that they need to work out the change.
