Re: [PATCH] relay: add buffer-only functionality, for early kerneltracing

From: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu
Date: Sun Apr 06 2008 - 13:49:45 EST



This is _not_ a patched intended for merging!

Mathieu, please take a look (maybe test) and see if I didn't mess up
the CPU hotplug stuff. AFAICS, it shoudn't be affected, but better be
sure.

I have also attached some sample code using this functionality. It
currently logs some text on every kmalloc() (SLUB-only), so one can
easily check for data corruption. Make sure you enable CONFIG_SLUB and
CONFIG_KMEMTRACE.

Oh, and I've tried Tom Zanussi's other e-mail address and Comcast
rejects my mails. :(
