Hi,
Since we already have the Instrumentation menu in
kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation and instrumentation code all over the
kernel tree:
arch/*/oprofile/*.c
kernel/kprobes.c
arch/*/kernel/kprobes.c
kernel/marker.c
kernel/profile.c
kernel/lockdep.c
vm/vmstat.c
block/blktrace.c
drivers/base/power/trace.c
We could move them to
instrumentation/
arch/*/instrumentation/
Therefore, we could also move the kprobes and marker samples under
instrumentation/samples/
Here is a link to a git repository containing the changes, based on
2.6.24-rc1:
git://ltt.polymtl.ca/linux-2.6-instrumentation.git instrumentation-for-linus
(the interesting range is : v2.6.24-rc1..instrumentation-for-linus)
Through the gitweb interface:
http://ltt.polymtl.ca/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-2.6-instrumentation.git
Feedback is appreciated. Sorry for the huge CC list, but the change
involves many maintainers.
Two more added. Jeff Garzik and Christoph H. sometimes have some comments
about this.
It would be helpful if we could get comments on this in the next day
or two [instead of in 1-2 weeks].
