Hi,Two more added. Jeff Garzik and Christoph H. sometimes have some comments
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.
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].
Quoting my post from last week:
My main concern is that 15 characters long directory name might be
inelegant (however, it only beats Documentation by 2).
And quoting the answer from Valdis.Kletnieks@xxxxxx :
How so? i n s esc. 4 keystrokes (and still 2 more than D<ESC> ;)
Better suggestions are wery welcome. However, in modern shells,
auto-completion is cheap nowadays.
