Hi, David & Steve Can we use 'jump lable' in Assembly? If it works, I guess this may also give some help on improving the Ftrace implementation, e.g. HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST and the other condition checking in the mcount.S(or the corresponding part of the other ARCH's entry*.S). For the C implementation, kernel/trace/ftrace.c: #ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST /* * For those archs that do not test ftrace_trace_stop in their * mcount call site, we need to do it from C. */ static void ftrace_test_stop_func(unsigned long ip, unsigned long parent_ip) { if (function_trace_stop) return; __ftrace_trace_function(ip, parent_ip); } #endif We may be easy to apply the jump lable above, but some ARCH selects HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST and uses the assembly implementation, let's use MIPS an example: arch/mips/kernel/mcount.S: #else /* ! CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE */ NESTED(_mcount, PT_SIZE, ra) lw t1, function_trace_stop bnez t1, ftrace_stub When function_trace_stop is false, we can simply convert the above 2 lines to nops ;-) Can we use 'jump lable' above for the condition check of function_trace_stop or if there is such macros or functions to do so?
