[Xen-devel] [PATCH 00/14] Scheduling related tracing improvements



Hi everyone,

This, hopefully, simple series aims at making it easier to look at and
interpret hypervisor scheduling related traces.

In fact, it includes improvements for both how xentrace_format and xenalyze
decode and pretty print a trace collected with scheduling events enabled,
either generic scheduling events or specific events from one of our scheduler.

In fact:
 - patches 11-14 improve xenalyze own understanding and dumping of scheduling
   events
 - patches 07-10 improve the 'formats' file that should be used for
   xentrace_format, for the same purpose
 - patches 04-06 are small hypervisor changes required for making the
   improvement possible
 - patches 02-03 are refinements on the position of some trace points
 - patch 01 is not really related to this series, it's just Credit1's
   code cleanup

After this series, for instance, 'xenalyze --dump-all' looks like this:
