This series optimizes function trace. The first 3 independent
patches has been picked in the V7 version of this series, the
subsequent version continues the following 4 patches:
select FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY [1] (patch 1)
==========================================================
In RISC-V, -fpatchable-function-entry option is used to support
dynamic ftrace in this commit afc76b8b8011 ("riscv: Using
PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT"). So recordmcount
don't have to be called to create the __mcount_loc section before
the vmlinux linking.
Here selects FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY to tell
Makefile not to run recordmcount.
Make function graph use ftrace directly [2] (patch 2)
========================================================
In RISC-V architecture, when we enable the ftrace_graph tracer on some
functions, the function tracings on other functions will suffer extra
graph tracing work. In essence, graph_ops isn't limited by its func_hash
due to the global ftrace_graph_[regs]_call label. That should be
corrected.
What inspires me is the commit 0c0593b45c9b ("x86/ftrace: Make function
graph use ftrace directly") that uses graph_ops::func function to
install return_hooker and makes the function called against its
func_hash.
Add WITH_DIRECT_CALLS support [3] (patch 3, 4)
==============================================
This series adds DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS support for RISC-V.
SAMPLE_FTRACE_DIRECT and SAMPLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_MULTI are also included
here as the samples for testing DIRECT_CALLS related interface.
First, select the DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS to provide
register_ftrace_direct[_multi] interfaces allowing user to register
the customed trampoline (direct_caller) as the mcount for one or
more target functions. And modify_ftrace_direct[_multi] are also
provided for modify direct_caller.
At the same time, the samples in ./samples/ftrace/ can be built
as kerenl module for testing these interfaces with SAMPLE_FTRACE_DIRECT
and SAMPLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_MULTI selected.
Second, to make the direct_caller and the other ftrace hooks
(eg. function/fgraph tracer, k[ret]probes) co-exist, a temporary
register
are nominated to store the address of direct_caller in
ftrace_regs_caller.
After the setting of the address direct_caller by direct_ops->func and
the RESTORE_REGS in ftrace_regs_caller, direct_caller will be jumped to
by the `jr` inst.
