From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@xxxxxxxxx> This patchset incorporates the feedbacks from Steven, Frederic, David, Richard and Michal. The main changes from the v6 version: o tracing: add IRQENTRY_EXIT section for MIPS: keep the return value of do_IRQ_* be void as the original version does. o tracing: define a new __time_notrace annotation flag: replace the old __arch_notrace by __time_notrace, just keep the stuff simpler. o tracing: make ftrace for MIPS work without -fno-omit-frame-pointer: prepare for the future -fomit-frame-pointer, Seems we are not necessary to enable -fno-omit-frame-pointer with -pg o tracing: make ftrace for MIPS more robust: add the safe load/store operations for MIPS o tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS: make the searching of the location of return address(ra) clearer. o tracing: reserve $12(t0) for mcount-ra-address of gcc 4.5 tracing: make function graph tracer work with -mmcount-ra-address All of these updates have been pused into: git://dev.lemote.com/rt4ls.git linux-mips/dev/ftrace-upstream All of these stuff and their combinations have been tested with gcc 4.4 & 4.5 on a YeeLoong netbook. Welcome to play with it and give more feedbacks ;) Thanks & Regards, Wu Zhangjin Wu Zhangjin (17): tracing: convert trace_clock_local() as weak function tracing: add mips_timecounter_read() for MIPS tracing: add MIPS specific trace_clock_local() tracing: add static function tracer support for MIPS tracing: enable HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST for MIPS tracing: add an endian argument to scripts/recordmcount.pl tracing: add dynamic function tracer support for MIPS tracing: add IRQENTRY_EXIT section for MIPS tracing: define a new __time_notrace annotation flag tracing: not trace the timecounter_read* in kernel/time/clocksource.c tracing: not trace mips_timecounter_read() for MIPS tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS tracing: add dynamic function graph tracer for MIPS tracing: make ftrace for MIPS work without -fno-omit-frame-pointer tracing: make ftrace for MIPS more robust tracing: reserve $12(t0) for mcount-ra-address of gcc 4.5 tracing: make function graph tracer work with -mmcount-ra-address arch/mips/Kconfig | 5 + arch/mips/Makefile | 7 + arch/mips/include/asm/ftrace.h | 97 ++++++++++++++++- arch/mips/include/asm/irq.h | 29 +----- arch/mips/include/asm/time.h | 20 ++++ arch/mips/kernel/Makefile | 9 ++ arch/mips/kernel/csrc-r4k.c | 42 +++++++ arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c | 240 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/mips/kernel/irq.c | 30 +++++ arch/mips/kernel/mcount.S | 191 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/mips/kernel/mips_ksyms.c | 5 + arch/mips/kernel/smp.c | 3 +- arch/mips/kernel/smtc.c | 21 +++- arch/mips/kernel/time.c | 2 + arch/mips/kernel/trace_clock.c | 33 ++++++ arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 1 + arch/mips/sgi-ip22/ip22-int.c | 3 +- arch/mips/sgi-ip22/ip22-time.c | 3 +- include/linux/ftrace.h | 12 ++ kernel/time/clocksource.c | 5 +- kernel/trace/trace_clock.c | 2 +- scripts/Makefile.build | 1 + scripts/recordmcount.pl | 47 ++++++++- 23 files changed, 764 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/mcount.S create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/trace_clock.c
