Hello, This is the 5th version of the series for the boot-time tracing. Previous version is here. https://lkml.kernel.org/r/157528159833.22451.14878731055438721716.stgit@devnote2
Hi Masami, I applied all your patches to a test branch and was playing with it a little. This seems fine to me and works well (and very easy to use). Probably could use some more examples, but that's just a nit. If nobody has any issues with this code, I'll wait for v6 with the fixes to issues found in this series, and I'll happily apply them for linux-next. -- Steve
In this version, I removed RFC tag from the series.
Changes from the v4 are here, updating bootconfig things.
- [1/22] Fix help comment and indent of Kconfig.
Restrict available characters in values(*)
Drop backslash escape from quoted value(**)
- [3/22] Fix Makefile to compile tool correctly
Remove unused pattern from Makefile
- [4/22] Show test target bootconfig
Add printable value testcases
Add bad array testcase
- [9/22] Fix TOC list
Add notes about available characters.
Fix to use correct quotes (``) for .rst.
(*) this is for preventing admin from shoot himself.
(**) this rule is from legacy command line.
Boot-time tracing features are not modified. I know Tom is working
on exporting synthetic event (and dynamic events) APIs for module.
If that APIs are merged first, I will update my series on top
of that.
This series can be applied on v5.5-rc3 or directly available at;
