Some of them are netX specific so you probably don't need them, but they shouldn't hurt you either. I will update this branch as I continue working in a non-fast-forward manner. I use TopGit to manage this branch, you might want to use it, too, if you intend to follow my work. My status quo is: Testing tracer sched_switch: PASSED Testing tracer function: PASSED Testing tracer irqsoff: .. no entries found ..FAILED! Testing tracer preemptoff: .. no entries found ..FAILED!

The warning is triggered here because tracing_start is called twice in trace_selftest_startup_preemptirqsoff's error path[1]. I researched for some time now why the tracers doesn't pass the self-tests, but without success. It's bed time and any hints are welcome. Other than that my machine boots and reports from time to time scheduling while atomic and sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:683 Both errors probably happen because some spin_locks need to be converted to raw_spin_locks. Will look later. I provide this uncooked state to prevent duplicate work, so please excuse the bad code and commit history. If it upsets you, please send patches :-) Best regards Uwe [1] if trace_test_buffer sets count = 0 or returns != 0 in kernel/trace/trace_selftest.c:440, the code flow is: tracing_start() goto out; ... out: trace->reset(tr); tracing_start(); I think the last tracing_start is wrong, but I didn't check deeply. -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
