[RFC PATCH 1/3] ftrace: Add ftrace_location_lookup() to lookup address of ftrace location

Mon Feb 7 18:07:20 AEDT 2022


Add a new function ftrace_location_lookup() that can be used to
determine the exact ftrace location around function entry. This is
useful on architectures where the ftrace location is not the very first
instruction in a function. Such architectures can override this function
to search for ftrace location and to return the exact address of the
same.

Convert some uses of ftrace_location() in BPF infrastructure to the new
function.
