The patch titled Subject: kernel/kcov.c: mark funcs in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() as notrace has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kernel-kcovc-mark-funcs-in-__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc-as-notrace.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/kernel-kcovc-mark-funcs-in-__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc-as-notrace.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/kernel-kcovc-mark-funcs-in-__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc-as-notrace.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Anders Roxell <anders.roxell@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel/kcov.c: mark funcs in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() as notrace Since __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() is marked as notrace, function calls in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() shouldn't be traced either. ftrace_graph_caller() gets called for each function that isn't marked 'notrace', like canonicalize_ip(). This is the call trace from a run: [ 139.644550] ftrace_graph_caller+0x1c/0x24 [ 139.648352] canonicalize_ip+0x18/0x28 [ 139.652313] __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc+0x14/0x58 [ 139.656184] sched_clock+0x34/0x1e8 [ 139.659759] trace_clock_local+0x40/0x88 [ 139.663722] ftrace_push_return_trace+0x8c/0x1f0 [ 139.667767] prepare_ftrace_return+0xa8/0x100 [ 139.671709] ftrace_graph_caller+0x1c/0x24 Rework so that check_kcov_mode() and canonicalize_ip() that are called from __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() are also marked as notrace.
