[RFC PATCH v3 09/26] ftrace: allow fixing code update failure by notifier chain.

Wang Nan wangnan0 at huawei.com
Thu Feb 12 21:40:39 PST 2015


This patch introduces a notifier chain (ftrace_update_notifier_list) and
ftrace_tryfix_bug(). The goal of this patch is to provide other
subsystem a chance to fix code if they alert ftrace entries before
ftrace_init().

Such subsystems should register a callback with
register_ftrace_update_notifier(). Ftrace will trigger the callback by
ftrace_tryfix_bug() when it fail to alert ftrace entries, instead of
directly fire an ftrace_bug(). It wrapps failure information with
a struct ftrace_update_notifier_info. Subscriber is able to determine
what it trying to do with it.

Subscriber of that notifier chain should return NOTIFY_STOP if it can
deal with the problem, or NOTIFY_DONE to pass it to other. By setting
info->retry it can inform ftrace to retry faild operation.
