Subject: tracepoint, vfs, sched: Add exec() tracepoint
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ff16c25e2cc48cbe6956e356c38a25ac063a64d;p=linux-beck.git

tracepoint, vfs, sched: Add exec() tracepoint

Added a minimal exec tracepoint. Exec is an important major event
in the life of a task, like fork(), clone() or exit(), all of
which we already trace.

[ We also do scheduling re-balancing during exec() - so it's useful
  from a scheduler instrumentation POV as well. ]

If you want to watch a task start up, when it gets exec'ed is a good place
to start.  With the addition of this tracepoint, exec's can be monitored
and better picture of general system activity can be obtained. This
tracepoint will also enable better process life tracking, allowing you to
answer questions like "what process keeps starting up binary X?".

This tracepoint can also be useful in ftrace filtering and trigger
conditions: i.e. starting or stopping filtering when exec is called.
