[PATCH 2/5] function-graph: Init curr_ret_stack with ret_stack
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt(a)redhat.com> If the graph tracer is active, and a task is forked but the allocating of the processes graph stack fails, it can cause crash later on. This is due to the temporary stack being NULL, but the curr_ret_stack variable is copied from the parent. If it is not -1, then in f... 12 Mar 2010 22:53

[PATCH 1/5] ring-buffer: Move disabled check into preempt disable section
From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs(a)cn.fujitsu.com> The ring buffer resizing and resetting relies on a schedule RCU action. The buffers are disabled, a synchronize_sched() is called and then the resize or reset takes place. But this only works if the disabling of the buffers are within the preempt disabled section, oth... 12 Mar 2010 22:53

[PATCH 5/5] tracing: Do not record user stack trace from NMI context
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt(a)redhat.com> A bug was found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test that caused applications to segfault during the test. Placing a tracing_off() in the segfault code, and examining several traces, I found that the following was always the case. The lock tracer was enabled (lockdep be... 12 Mar 2010 22:53

[PATCH 0/5][GIT PULL][2.6.34] tracing: urgent fixes
Ingo, Li Zefan and Lai Jiangshan told me they were finding various bugs with running a stress test. I asked for this test, and Li sent it to me. Running the test I was also able to trigger the same bugs that they were seeing. Unfortunately, these bugs were very hard to figure out and it took me most of the wee... 12 Mar 2010 22:53

[PATCH 4/5] tracing: Disable buffer switching when starting or stopping trace
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt(a)redhat.com> When the trace iterator is read, tracing_start() and tracing_stop() is called to stop tracing while the iterator is processing the trace output. These functions disable both the standard buffer and the max latency buffer. But if the wakeup tracer is running, it can sw... 12 Mar 2010 22:53
