      ring-buffer: Add test to validate the time stamp deltas · 5b7be9c7
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      While debugging a situation where a delta for an event was calucalted wrong,
      I realize there was nothing making sure that the delta of events are
      correct. If a single event has an incorrect delta, then all events after it
      will also have one. If the discrepency gets large enough, it could cause
      the time stamps to go backwards when crossing sub buffers, that record a
      full 64 bit time stamp, and the new deltas are added to that.
      
      Add a way to validate the events at most events and when crossing a buffer
      page. This will help make sure that the deltas are always correct. This test
      will detect if they are ever corrupted.
      
      The test adds a high overhead to the ring buffer recording, as it does the
      audit for almost every event, and should only be used for testing the ring
      buffer.
      
      This will catch the bug that is fixed by commit 55ea4cf4 ("ring-buffer:
      Update write stamp with the correct ts"), which is not applied when this
      commit is applied.

       "Here's some small fixes for 5.10-rc2 and a big driver removal.
      
        The fixes are for some reported issues in the interconnect and
        coresight drivers, nothing major.
      
        The "big" driver removal is the MIC drivers have been asked to be
        removed as the hardware never shipped and Intel no longer wants to
        maintain something that no one can use. This is welcomed by many as
        the DMA usage of these drivers was "interesting" and the security
        people were starting to question some issues that were starting to be
        found in the codebase.
      
        Note, one of the subsystems for this driver, the "VOP" code, will
        probably come back in future kernel versions as it was looking to
        potentially solve some PCIe virtualization issues that a number of
        other vendors were wanting to solve. But as-is, this codebase didn't
        work for anyone else so no actual functionality is being removed.
      
        All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"
