Hi Ingo,
Here is the patchset you requested. I did not port the marker reintegration
to your sched-devel tree though, because many changes happened since you have
done the original work.
It applies on top of sched-devel.git latest.
You will notice that I implemented what we discussed yesterday : using nops and
jump for the heavily optimized version of markers. Comments are welcome. Running
this with my ~120 LTTng markers on x86_32 detects 97% of the sites. 4 out of 120
did had to fall back on the standard immediate values because they have been
manipulated by gcc optimizations. The sched-devel.git port has been tested
on x86_32. Patches before the port are tested on x86_32 and x86_64.
Note that some folding of the immediate values patches could eventually be
required. At that point, add-all-cpus-option-to-stop-machine-run.patch would
become useless.
The series order is the following :
