The patch titled
markers: document the linux/marker.h header
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
linux-kernel-markers-architecture-independant-code-markers-document-the-linux-markerh-header.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into
linux-kernel-markers-architecture-independant-code.patch
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: markers: document the linux/marker.h header
From: Mathieu Desnoyers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Fix a bitwise flag manipulation mistake in the MARK_GENERIC macro.
Use the __marker (ro), new __marker_strings (ro) and __marker_data (rw)
sections. It depends on the linker modification which defines this last
section.
It allows the use of a probe "private" data : upon probe connexion, it can
provide a pointer to its own data structure which will be available at the
probe call site as the pdata field of the mdata structure.
With the new __marker_data section, much less data has to be defined in the
kernel .data segment : only the enable flag, in non-optimized markers, is left
in .data because it is used very often.
The marker flags now only define MF_* which are bitmasks. There is no way to
use the bitmask shift value, so it is less error prone.
