Lock debugging enabled cause huge performance problems for tracing. Having the lock verification happening for every function that is called because mcount calls spin_lock can cripple the system. This patch converts the spin_locks used by ftrace into raw_spin_locks. Signed-off-by:

This patch changes the use of __get_cpu_var to explicitly calling raw_smp_processor_id and using the per_cpu() macro. On some debug configurations, the use of __get_cpu_var may cause ftrace to trigger and this can cause problems with the irqsoff tracing. Signed-off-by:

With the adding of the configuration changes in the Makefile to prevent tracing of functions in the ftrace code, all tracing of all the ftrace code has been removed. Unfortunately, one of the selftests, relied on a function to be traced. With the new change, the function was no longer traced and the test failed. This patch separates out the test function into its own file so that we can add the "-pg" flag to the compilation of that function and the adding of the mcount call to that function. Signed-off-by:

The selftest validation code checks for valid entries in the trace buffer. TRACE_STACK and TRACE_SPECIAL have been added to the code but not to the validator. This patch adds the two to prevent them from flagging a failure in the selftest. Signed-off-by:

printk called from wakeup critical timings and irqs off can cause deadlocks since printk might do a wakeup itself. If the call to printk happens with the runqueue lock held, it can deadlock. This patch protects the printk from being called in trace irqs off with a test to see if the runqueue for the current CPU is locked. If it is locked, the printk is skipped. The wakeup always holds the runqueue lock, so the printk is simply removed. Signed-off-by:

trace_function is called by mcount and calling wake_up from that can have unpredictable results. This patch removes the wakeup from trace_function. Signed-off-by:

Most archs define the string and memory compare functions in assembly. Some do not. But these functions may be used in some archs at early boot up. Since most archs define this code in assembly and they are not usually traced, there's no need to trace them when they are not defined in assembly. This patch removes the -pg from the CFLAGS for lib/string.o. This prevents the string functions use in either vdso or early bootup from crashing the system. Signed-off-by:

PowerPC is very fragile when it comes to use of function names and function addresses. ftrace needs to either use all function addresses or function names (i.e. my_func as suppose to &my_func). This patch chooses to use the names and not the addresses, and makes ftrace consistent. Signed-off-by:

A new check was added in the ftrace function that wont trace if the CPU trace buffer is disabled. Unfortunately, other tracers used ftrace() to write to the buffer after they disabled it. The new disable check makes these calls into a nop. This patch changes the __ftrace that is called without the check into a new api for the other tracers to use, called "trace_function". The other tracers use this interface instead when the trace CPU buffer is already disabled. Signed-off-by:

Since ftrace touches practically every function. If we detect any anomaly, we want to fully disable ftrace. This patch adds code to try shutdown ftrace as much as possible without doing any more harm is something is detected not quite correct. This only kills ftrace, this patch does have checks for other parts of the tracer (irqsoff, wakeup, etc.). Signed-off-by:
