2010-04-07microblaze: Fix ftrace_update_ftrace_func panicSteven J. Magnani
The Microblaze dynamic ftrace code assumes a call ordering that is not met in all scenarios. Specifically, executing a command similar to: echo 105 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid before any other tracing-related commands results in a kernel panic: BUG: failure at arch/microblaze/kernel/ftrace.c:198/ftrace_update_ftrace_func()! Recoding ftrace_update_ftrace_func() to use &ftrace_caller directly eliminates the need to capture its address elsewhere (and thus rely on a particular call sequence). Signed-off-by: Steven J.

2009-12-14microblaze: ftrace: Add dynamic function graph tracerMichal Simek
This patch add support for dynamic function graph tracer. There is one my expactation that I can do flush_icache after all code modification. On microblaze is this safer than do flush for every entry. For icache is used name flush but correct should be invalidation - this will be fix in upcomming new cache implementaion and WB support.

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.
