[PATCH 2/2] tracing/events: Add kexec tracepoints

From: Li Zefan
Date: Tue Sep 08 2009 - 21:16:54 EST


When panic, save in ring buffer the time when crash happened,
the panic message, etc. And the data can be retrieved from
core dump file using flight-recorder, which is going to be a
module of the crash utility.

Also if we implement flight-recorder in perf tool, those trace
outputs can be used by perf tool.
