From 3861a17bcc0af815f684c6178bc9ec2d790c350e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2009 00:04:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/function-graph-tracer: drop the kernel_text_address check When the function graph tracer picks a return address, it ensures this address is really a kernel text one by calling __kernel_text_address() Actually this path has never been taken.Its role was more likely to debug the tracer on the beginning of its development but this function is wasteful since it is called for every traced function. The fault check is already sufficient.
