[PATCH v2 0/4] RTAS function table and tracepoints

Tue Dec 13 10:01:50 AEDT 2022


Resubmiting with revisions the remainder from the earlier "RTAS
maintenance" series[1] for further comments.

Components:
* Improved function token lookups, including efficient "reverse"
  token-to-name mappings.
* Static tracepoints for RTAS entry and exit.

Changes:
* Rebase on current powerpc/next.
* Drop unnecessary cast for xa_load() key argument. (Nick Child)
* Document RTAS_FN_FLAG_BANNED_FOR_SYSCALL_ON_LE. (Andrew Donnellan)
* Skip tracepoints in unsafe contexts (real mode, CPU
  offline). (Nicholas Piggin)
* Convert RTAS tracepoint definitions to unconditional
  variants (TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() -> TRACE_EVENT()), dropping a
  cpu_online() check that duplicates work already done at the call
  site.
