  • Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files. Files
    can be initialized later. This is useful in scenarios such as logging in
    early code, before VFS is up. Therefore, such channels can be created and
    used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed.

    This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

  • Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something
    that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added.

    unplug isn't supported by this patch. The thought was that at minumum a new
    buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
    to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
    channel was closed.

  • Here's updated documentation for the relay interface, rewritten to match
    the relayfs->relay changes. It also moves relayfs.txt to relay.txt in the
    process.

    It includes the changes to relayfs.txt previously posted by Randy Dunlap,
    thanks for those.

    The relay-apps examples have also been updated to match, and can be found
    on the sourceforge relayfs website.
