10 * This file defines hook entry points called by core code where
11 * user tracing/debugging support might need to do something. These
12 * entry points are called tracehook_*(). Each hook declared below
13 * has a detailed kerneldoc comment giving the context (locking et
14 * al) from which it is called, and the meaning of its return value.
16 * Each function here typically has only one call site, so it is ok
17 * to have some nontrivial tracehook_*() inlines. In all cases, the
18 * fast path when no tracing is enabled should be very short.
20 * The purpose of this file and the tracehook_* layer is to consolidate
21 * the interface that the kernel core and arch code uses to enable any
22 * user debugging or tracing facility (such as ptrace). The interfaces
23 * here are carefully documented so that maintainers of core and arch
24 * code do not need to think about the implementation details of the
25 * tracing facilities. Likewise, maintainers of the tracing code do not
26 * need to understand all the calling core or arch code in detail, just
27 * documented circumstances of each call, such as locking conditions.
29 * If the calling core code changes so that locking is different, then
30 * it is ok to change the interface documented here. The maintainer of
31 * core code changing should notify the maintainers of the tracing code
32 * that they need to work out the change.
34 * Some tracehook_*() inlines take arguments that the current tracing
35 * implementations might not necessarily use. These function signatures
36 * are chosen to pass in all the information that is on hand in the
37 * caller and might conceivably be relevant to a tracer, so that the
38 * core code won't have to be updated when tracing adds more features.
39 * If a call site changes so that some of those parameters are no longer
40 * already on hand without extra work, then the tracehook_* interface
41 * can change so there is no make-work burden on the core code. The
42 * maintainer of core code changing should notify the maintainers of the
43 * tracing code that they need to work out the change.
