So here is a slightly updated FTRACE_WITH_REGS plus live patching. Reminder: make sure you have a prolog-pad gcc, and this in your top level Makefile: ifdef CONFIG_LIVEPATCH KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-fno-ipa-ra) endif Tested with v4.7-rc3 + gcc-6.1 Changes since v1: * instead of a comment "should be CC_USING_PROLOG_PAD": do it. CC_FLAGS_FTRACE holds it now, and the IPA disabler has become a separate issue (see above).
