- Add option traceoff_after_boot
In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable tracing
via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the login prompt
appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process and other user space
start up applications. Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing
when the kernel passes control to init which will allow developers to be
able to see the traces that occurred during boot.
- Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace events
The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of
duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in the
process it also adds some flags that were missed before.
- Removed some dead code and scripts/draw_functrace.py
draw_functrace.py hasn't worked in years and as nobody complained
about it, remove it.
- Constify struct event_trigger_ops
The event_trigger_ops is just a structure that has function pointers that
are assigned when the variables are created. These variables should all be
constants.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes
