now you've told me all of: it's single purpose, MD, and doesn't
work.
please revert SPLDEBUG. it does not belong in sys/kern.
Have a little patience. I am incorporating all of the
suggestions that
I have heard so far into a patch.
Is there any progress on this? IIIRC, general agreement was that
subr_spldebug.c does not belong to sys/kern.
Can you respond?
I plan to commit my final patches in this area for posterity, and then
to remove the feature just as soon as DTrace is capable of providing
it. I don't think that there are FBT probes on all of the relevant
assembly-language routines, yet.
The FBT provider can't instrument assembly language routines because
they don't follow the standard C entry setup and exit teardown code.
The may be able to be hand-instrumented with SDT probe calls, but that
will add the overhead of a test and branch for each probe.
