Hi Andrew,


Those are the new features I plan to add to the Markers :

- Support multiple probes per marker (so blktrace, LTTng, SystemTAP and others

  can coexist peacefully)

- Export the markers to a Module.markers file in modpost (for Systemtap)

- Use the Immediate values to optimize the branch when disabled.


I depends on the "Immediate Values" patchset and applies on top of

2.6.24-rc2-git3 in this order :


#RFC

markers-support-multiple-probes.patch

linux-kernel-markers-create-modpost-file.patch

linux-kernel-markers-immediate-values.patch


I submit those as a RFC for now.


Mathieu
