NOKPROBE_SYMBOL seems to add a reference from some variable to the function? With LTO we can optimize away unused functions, but not when there are references to the symbol. So this would likely prevent optimizations with LTO. I prefer a simpler "__kprobe" annotation. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
