It can even be placed into a non-executable RO section, since the template shouldn't be executed directly.A separate template ! This may be a good way, and I think the patching here is very HACK too(Not very friendly). I had thought of other ways before, similar to the method on X86_64, remove the ftrace_common(), directly modifying ftrace_caller/ftrace_reg_caller, We will only need to copy the code once in this way, and these is no need to modify call ftrace_common to NOP. Using a trampoline template sounds great. but this also means that we need to aintain a template(or maybe two templates: one for caller, another for regs_caller). Hi, Mark, what do you think about it ?I think that having two templates is fine. We can factor ftrace_common_return into a macro mirroring ftrace_regs_entry, and I suspect we can probably figure out some way to factor the common portion. Thanks, Mark. .
OK, I will do it. Thank you, Mark. --Cheng Jian _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
