2012-03-24ARM: 7331/1: extract out insn generation code from ftraceRabin Vincent
Extract out the instruction generation code so that it can be used for jump labels too. Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2012-03-24ARM: 7330/1: ftrace: use canonical Thumb-2 wide instruction formatRabin Vincent
As commit 592201a9f15 (ARM: Thumb-2: Support Thumb-2 in undefined instruction handler) says: 32-bit Thumb instructions are specified in the form: ((first_half << 16 ) | second_half) which matches the layout used by the ARM ARM. Convert the ftrace code to use the same format to avoid the usage of different formats in kernel code.

2012-03-24ARM: 7351/1: ftrace: remove useless memory checksRabin Vincent
Before replacing an instruction, the ftrace code determines what the old instruction should be and verifies that that's what's really there in memory before replacing it. This is useful if for example a bug in mcountrecord causes it to record wrong locations. However, in cases where we replace call sites in entry-common.S, these checks are not needed. For these, we currently just memcpy() the memory content and then "verify" it -- this is quite useless and can be removed.

2010-11-19ARM: ftrace: graph tracer + dynamic ftraceRabin Vincent
Support the graph tracer + dynamic ftrace combination on ARM. Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in>
2010-11-19ARM: ftrace: function graph tracer supportTim Bird
Cc: Tim Bird <tim.bird@am.sony.com> [rabin@rab.in: rebase on top of latest code, keep code in ftrace.c instead of separate file, check for ftrace_graph_entry also] Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in>
2010-09-02ARM: 6319/1: ftrace: add Thumb-2 support to dynamic ftraceRabin Vincent
Handle the different nop and call instructions for Thumb-2. Also, we need to adjust the recorded mcount_loc addresses because they have the lsb set.

2010-09-02ARM: 6318/1: ftrace: fix and update dynamic ftraceRabin Vincent
This adds mcount recording and updates dynamic ftrace for ARM to work with the new ftrace dyamic tracing implementation. It also adds support for the mcount format used by newer ARM compilers. With dynamic tracing, mcount() is implemented as a nop. Callsites are patched on startup with nops, and dynamically patched to call to the ftrace_caller() routine as needed.

2010-04-21ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.cRussell King
/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077' This is caused because: .section .data .section .text .section .text .previous does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections is not known. Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2008-10-23ftrace: remove mcount setSteven Rostedt
The arch dependent function ftrace_mcount_set was only used by the daemon start up code. This patch removes it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-06-23ftrace: store mcount address in rec->ipAbhishek Sagar
Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64 record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.
