ftrace: Format MCOUNT_ADDR address as type unsigned long

2015-07-21T02:30:53+00:00

Always we use type unsigned long to format the ip address, since the value of ip address is never the negative. This patch uses type unsigned long, instead of long, to format the ip address. The code is more clearly to be viewed by using type unsigned long, although it is correct by using either unsigned long or long.

microblaze: ftrace: Add dynamic trace support

2009-12-14T07:44:01+00:00

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an "empty" function, it returns directly without any more action. When enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us. Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter). In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of scripts/recordmcount.pl. For more information please look at code and Documentation/trace folder. Steven ACK that scripts/recordmcount.pl part. Acked-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Michal Simek

microblaze: ftrace: add static function tracer

2009-12-14T07:40:09+00:00

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to _mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount. This patch add the specific _mcount support for static function tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
