[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: kprobes: add support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE

Naveen N. Rao naveen.n.rao at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Wed Feb 15 05:58:34 AEDT 2017


Allow kprobes to be placed on ftrace _mcount() call sites. This
optimization avoids the use of a trap, by riding on ftrace
infrastructure.

This depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which depends on
MPROFILE_KERNEL, which is only currently enabled on powerpc64le with
newer toolchains.

Based on the x86 code by Masami.
