[PATCH 6/9] livepatch/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback

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

 



From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If a ftrace callback does not supply its own recursion protection and
does not set the RECURSION_SAFE flag in its ftrace_ops, then ftrace will
make a helper trampoline to do so before calling the callback instead of
just calling the callback directly.

The default for ftrace_ops is going to assume recursion protection unless
otherwise specified.
