[ltt-dev] OMAP3/4 trace clock and lockdep tracing

[Harald Gustafsson]

I took a look at the Linaro lttng git, but they don't seem to have
adopted it more for the OMAP4 than in your git tree. There is a new
pm44xx.c file which don't contain any resync_trace_clock() calls which
should be needed and the trace-clock.c file is your ordinary one.

No, which might be causing the issues, but do you resync in the IRQ
for OMAP3 I could not find any code that did that? rather the comment
saying that IRQ might have run before the call to the resync in the
pm34xx.c file.

I did consider the trace-clock-32-to-64.c but decided that it was
overkill for extending a continuous running low rate clock, the
cnt32_to_63 macro in include/linux/cnt32_to_63.h is commonly used to
extend counters at least on ARM arch.
