2016-04-26tracing: Handle tracing_map_alloc_elts() error path correctlyTom Zanussi
If tracing_map_elt_alloc() fails, it will return ERR_PTR() instead of NULL, so change the check to IS_ERROR(). We also need to set the failed entry in the map->elts array to NULL instead of ERR_PTR() so tracing_map_free_elts() doesn't try freeing an ERR_PTR(). tracing_map_free_elts() should also zero out what it frees so a reentrant call won't find previously freed elements.

2016-04-26tracing: checking for NULL instead of IS_ERR()Dan Carpenter
tracing_map_elt_alloc() returns ERR_PTRs on error, never NULL.

2016-04-19tracing: Update some tracing_map constants and commentsTom Zanussi
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.

2016-04-19tracing: Add lock-free tracing_mapTom Zanussi
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>
