from being traced by kprobes. During my testing, I found that there's places that we may want to add kprobes to notrace, thus we may end up changing this code before 4.19 is released. The history behind this change is that we found that adding kprobes to various notrace functions caused the kernel to crashed. We took the safe route and decided not to allow kprobes to trace any notrace function. But because notrace is added to functions that just cause weird side effects to the function tracer, but are still safe, preventing kprobes for all notrace functios may be too much of a big hammer. One such place is __schedule() is marked notrace, to keep function tracer from doing strange recursive loops when it gets traced with NEED_RESCHED set. With this change, one can not add kprobes to the scheduler. Masami also added code to use gcov on ftrace. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCW34RpBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qhwzAQDITRob1VjOF8RavMbfBZZuhwHPQROF XsIFcD+jghFOUgEA1zXX4w+SwOV7S+chpGKMh3DlNKIbYPA+8eiMNFfDsA4= =u+oq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v4.19-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Masami found an off by one bug in the code that keeps "notrace" functions from being traced by kprobes.
