From e6d60b368b45b9be3aa068f8e5fa98c3487c9d4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 13:08:28 +0100 Subject: s390/ftrace: hotpatch support for function tracing Make use of gcc's hotpatch support to generate better code for ftrace function tracing. The generated code now contains only a six byte nop in each function prologue instead of a 24 byte code block which will be runtime patched to support function tracing. With the new code generation the runtime overhead for supporting function tracing is close to zero, while the original code did show a significant performance impact.
