[Xen-devel] [RFC][PATCH] eliminate extra tb_init_done check

["Lu, Guanqun" <guanqun.lu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As c/s 18441 does the following changes:
-    ASSERT(tb_init_done);
+    if( !tb_init_done )
+        return;
in the function __trace_var in the file xen/common/trace.c.
We don't need to check the variable tb_init_done before we invoke __trace_var.

This patch simplies such logic:
        if ( tb_init_done )
                __trace_var(...)

to
        __trace_var(...)
.

Two corner conditions are left untouched. One is the assembly in entry.S,
the other is the check of tb_init_done not immediately followed by __trace_var.

Or more aggressively, we can eliminate all the extra checks, make tb_init_done
a static variable, and rename __trace_var to trace_var which looks more like
a right interface name.
