Subject: [PATCH 0/9] Trace2 timers and counters and some cleanup
Date: Tue, 04 Oct 2022 16:19:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.1373.git.1664900407.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch series add stopwatch timers and global counters to the trace2
logging facility. It also does a little housecleaning.

This is basically a rewrite of the series that I submitted back in December
2021: [1] and [2]. Hopefully, it addresses all of the concerns raised back
then and does it in a way that avoids the issues that stalled that effort.

First we start with a few housecleaning commits:

 * The first 2 commits are unrelated to this effort, but were required to
   get the existing code to compile on my Mac with Clang 11.0.0 with
   DEVELOPER=1. Those can be dropped if there is a better way to do this.

 * The 3rd commit is in response a concern about using int rather than
   size_t for nr and alloc in an ALLOC_GROW() in existing trace2 code.

 * The 4th commit cleans up my use of the term "TLS" in my thread code.

 * The 5th and 6th commits (hopefully) clear up the misunderstandings around
   the thread_name variable in my thread context structures. My earlier
   attempts to clean and clarify this led to most of the controversies in
   the earlier patch series. Hopefully, these 2 commits will improve the
   clarify matters.

 * The 7th commit cleans up a mostly obsolete section in the trace2 API
   documentation.

Finally, the last 2 commits add the stopwatch timers and the global
counters.
