time: Remove CONFIG_TIMER_STATS

2017-02-10T10:15:08+00:00

Currently CONFIG_TIMER_STATS exposes process information across namespaces: kernel/time/timer_list.c print_timer(): SEQ_printf(m, ", %s/%d", tmp, timer->start_pid); /proc/timer_list: #11: <0000000000000000>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, do_nanosleep, cron/2570 Given that the tracer can give the same information, this patch entirely removes CONFIG_TIMER_STATS.

timer_stats/doc: Fix /proc/timer_stats documentation

2014-05-04T18:46:32+00:00

Documentation/timers/timer_stats.txt claims: "The readout of /proc/timer_stats automatically disables sampling. The sampled information is kept until a new sample period is started. This allows multiple readouts." Some simple testing shows that reading from /proc/timer_stats does not disable sampling. Looking back over past source code, it appears that it never did.

Documentation: move timer related documentation to a single place

2008-04-17T10:22:31+00:00

We have two directories with timer related information in Documentation/: hrtimers/ and hrtimer/. timer_stats are not restricted to hrtimers. Move all those files into Documentation/timers where we can pile up other timer related docs as well. Pointed-out-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
