separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between the function and function_graph tracers. The main flaw was the simplification of the use of multiple tracers having the same filter (like function and function_graph, that use the set_ftrace_filter file to filter their code). The design assumed that the two tracers could never run simultaneously as only one tracer can be used at a time. The problem with this assumption was that the function profiler could be implemented on top of the function graph tracer, and the function profiler could run at the same time as the function tracer. This caused the assumption to be broken and when ftrace detected this failed assumpiton it would spit out a nasty warning and shut itself down. Instead of using a single ftrace_ops that switches between the function and function_graph callbacks, the two tracers can again use their own ftrace_ops. But instead of having a complex hierarchy of ftrace_ops, the filter fields are placed in its own structure and the ftrace_ops can carefully use the same filter. This change took a bit to be able to allow for this and currently only the global_ops can share the same filter, but this new design can easily be modified to allow for any ftrace_ops to share its filter with another ftrace_ops. The first four patches deal with the change of allowing the ftrace_ops to share the filter (and this needs to go to 3.16 as well). The fifth patch fixes a bug that was also caused by the new changes but only for archs other than x86, and only if those archs implement a direct call to the function_graph tracer which they do not do yet but will in the future. It does not need to go to stable, but needs to be fixed before the other archs update their code to allow direct calls to the function_graph trampoline. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJT+hqSAAoJEKQekfcNnQGulvcH/0O4NMXX4HH1dQlYgKEaSYxE Nh8WdiewopF5iaeNvo+8Nzdq8D2k3KgMOqSlzJ4JVmzd7gjOBSGeKDfqFwR+IbTk 9LcaJJCI3oG3MEf6m7gZMdjKPKyxkeYHDtG7kRHo8z94eliV9pKC6fUnEWayQO3o Kv6IBupdkF8ICAiKRae5Uo0c9wjZ9YP0bZS7fxI2hJw3h/NMFnhnhUL03URIx8e3 dqgpweYg+P3KPfp2Jz6safdJqLTPK9rqqhkZhylbDl7o78xEzRN7wCyB6Nak00xz swRgsW6vFP7ci/YSNx+B6HCIf7NTm3WLDrrIhitNHcJUZwUMU3CRO9IJHGsTuEE= =J5lZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull fix for ftrace function tracer/profiler conflict from Steven Rostedt: "The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between the function and function_graph tracers.
