[PATCH v2 01/01] arm: ftrace: Adds support for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS

Jean-Jacques Hiblot jjhiblot at traphandler.com
Mon Nov 10 00:56:17 PST 2014


The DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS configuration makes it possible for a ftrace
operation to specify if registers need to saved/restored by the ftrace handler.
This is needed by kgraft and possibly other ftrace-based tools, and the ARM
architecture is currently lacking this feature. It would also be the first step
to support the "Kprobes-on-ftrace" optimization on ARM.

This patch introduces a new ftrace handler that stores the registers on the
stack before calling the next stage. The registers are restored from the stack
before going back to the instrumented function.

A side-effect of this patch is to activate the support for ftrace_modify_call()
as it defines ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_OPS for the ARM architecture
