[PATCH v2 3/3] api docs: document that BUG() emits a trace2 error event

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Correct documentation added in e544221d97a (trace2:
Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt, 2019-02-22) to state that
calling BUG() also emits an "error" event. See ee4512ed481 (trace2:
create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) for the initial
implementation.

The BUG() function did not emit an event then however, that was only
changed later in 0a9dde4a04c (usage: trace2 BUG() invocations,
2021-02-05), that commit changed the code, but didn't update any of
the docs.

Let's also add a cross-reference from api-error-handling.txt.
