From db6544e0075d192e5ad16eda8689c55fa9c6f8f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajesh Bhagat Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:59:15 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Fix function_graph for archs that test ftrace_trace_function When CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set, some archs (ARM) test the variable function_trace_function to determine if it should call the function tracer. If it is not set to ftrace_stub, then it will call the function and return, and not call the function graph tracer. But some of these archs (ARM) do not have the assembly code to test if function tracing is enabled or not (quick stop of tracing) and it calls the helper routine ftrace_test_stop_func() instead. If function tracer is enabled and then disabled, the variable ftrace_trace_function is still set to the helper routine ftrace_test_stop_func(), and not to ftrace_stub. This will prevent the function graph tracer from ever running.
