But I'd like to have trace_init() go before sched_init() since that could possibly use debugging tracepoints as well. So if you could add a rcu_partial_init() that makes calling call_rcu_sched() work, that would be great. That could be for 3.20 then, and for now, I just move trace_init() after rcu_init() which is still before irq_init() that Thomas needs for his work. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
