Tom Zanussi	3b772b96b8	tracing: Update some tracing_map constants and comments ... Make it clear exactly how many keys and values are supported through better defines, and add 1 to the vals count, since normally clients want support for at least a hitcount and two other values. Also, note the error return value for tracing_map_add_key/val_field() in the comments.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)	8d44f2f34f	tracing: Fix TRACING_MAP Kconfig ... The config option for TRACING_MAP has "default n", which is not needed because the default of configs is 'n'. Also, since the TRACING_MAP has no config prompt, there's no reason to include "If in doubt, say N" in the help text. Fixed a typo in the comments of tracing_map.h.

Tom Zanussi	08d43a5fa0	tracing: Add lock-free tracing_map ... Add tracing_map, a special-purpose lock-free map for tracing. tracing_map is designed to aggregate or 'sum' one or more values associated with a specific object of type tracing_map_elt, which is associated by the map to a given key. It provides various hooks allowing per-tracer customization and is separated out into a separate file in order to allow it to be shared between multiple tracers, but isn't meant to be generally used outside of that context. The tracing_map implementation was inspired by lock-free map algorithms originated by Dr. Cliff Click: http://www.azulsystems.com/blog/cliff/2007-03-26-non-blocking-hashtable http://www.azulsystems.com/events/javaone_2007/2007_LockFreeHash.pdf Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b43d68d1add33582a396f553c8ef705a33a6a748.1449767187.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>	2016-04-19 12:04:59 -04:00
