[PATCH 3.18 53/85] mips: ftrace: fix static function graph tracing

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

 



3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matthias Schiffer <mschiffer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6fb8656646f996d1eef42e6d56203c4915cb9e08 upstream.

ftrace_graph_caller was never run after calling ftrace_trace_function,
breaking the function graph tracer. Fix this, bringing it in line with the
x86 implementation.

While we're at it, also streamline the control flow of _mcount a bit to
reduce the number of branches.
