[PATCH] Make Function Duration Tracer work with __gnu_mcount_nc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there a better way to fix this in the original ftrace_graph_caller ?
The lr isn't pushed on the stack before "bl mcount".

From: Ashwin Chaugule <ashwinc@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Newer compilers use the __gnu_mcount_nc stub in every function
prologue. The lr of the instrumented function is pushed on the
stack before branching to __gnu_mcount_nc. Pop it before returning
back to instrumented function so that it can return to its parent
from its epilogue.
