* stacktrace: add forward-declaration struct task_structVegard Nossum2009-06-121-0/+2
| | | | | | This is needed if the header is to be free-standing. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>
* x86: add save_stack_trace_bp() for tracing from a specific stack frameVegard Nossum2009-06-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This will help kmemcheck (and possibly other debugging tools) since we can now simply pass regs->bp to the stack tracer instead of specifying the number of stack frames to skip, which is unreliable if gcc decides to inline functions, etc. Note that this makes the API incomplete for other architectures, but I expect that those can be updated lazily, e.g. when they need it.

* tracing/stack-tracer: introduce CONFIG_USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORTTörök Edwin2008-11-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup User stack tracing is just implemented for x86, but it is not x86 specific. Introduce a generic config flag, that is currently enabled only for x86. When other arches implement it, they will have to SELECT USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT. Signed-off-by: Török Edwin <edwintorok@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* tracing: add support for userspace stacktraces in tracing/iter_ctrlTörök Edwin2008-11-231-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature Usage example: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl echo sched_switch >current_tracer echo 1 >tracing_enabled .... run application ... echo 0 >tracing_enabled Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'. To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).
