Anyway, as there is no more reason to set function_trace_stop it is time to remove it. Unfortunately it's in several archs in assembly. Most of the assembly looks rather straight forward and I removed them myself. But I was only able to compile test them (for archs: arm64, metag, and microblaze I do not have my cross tools set up for them and did not even compile test it). But I would really love it if people can download their patch and test it out. You only need the patches that go against your arch and to really test it, also include the patch titled: ftrace: Remove check for HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST Otherwise your arch patch will call the list op that still does the check. That is, if you want to test suspend and resume on your arch. As you may see, there are patches to the ftrace infrastructure that depend on the arch patches being implemented. I removed the functionality from the infrastructure, then removed it from the archs, and then finally removed the existence of the function_trace_stop variable, which would cause the archs to fail to compile if that were to go first. If you can test your arch and give me your acked-by, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, if you need this to go through your tree, I would ask you to set up a dedicated branch that I can pull from to keep this order intact. -- Steve > > Cc: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S | 5 ----- > 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S b/arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S > index b051871f2965..1b1e330e6849 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S > +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S > @@ -96,11 +96,6 @@ > * - ftrace_graph_caller to set up an exit hook > */ > ENTRY(_mcount) > -#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST > - ldr x0, =ftrace_trace_stop > - ldr x0, [x0] // if ftrace_trace_stop > - ret // return; > -#endif > mcount_enter > > ldr x0, =ftrace_trace_function -- 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
