Subject: [PATCH 2/2 v2] tracing: Document HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS needs
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2009 11:08:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1253351338-5301-3-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1253338757-5918-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
Document the arch needed requirements to get the support for syscalls
tracing.
v2: HAVE_FTRACE_SYSCALLS have been changed to HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS
recently. Update this config name in the documentation then.

---------------------
-<details to be filled>
+You need very few things to get the syscalls tracing in an arch.
+
+- Have a NR_syscalls variable in <asm/unistd.h> that provides the number
+ of syscalls supported by the arch.
+- Implement arch_syscall_addr() that resolves a syscall address from a
+ syscall number.
+- Support the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT thread flags
+- Put the trace_sys_enter() and trace_sys_exit() tracepoints calls from ptrace
+ in the ptrace syscalls tracing path.
+- Tag this arch as HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS.
