[PATCH 12/15] tracing: Recover trace buffers from kexec handover

Alexander Graf graf at amazon.com
Tue Dec 12 16:04:49 PST 2023


When kexec handover is in place, we now know the location of all
previous buffers for ftrace rings. With this patch applied, ftrace
reassembles any new trace buffer that carries the same name as a
previous one with the same data pages that the previous buffer had.

That way, a buffer that we had in place before kexec becomes readable
after kexec again as soon as it gets initialized with the same name.
