[PATCH] ftrace: Correct preemption accounting for function tracing.
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Date: 2025-02-20 14:07:52
Subsystem:
the rest, tracing · Maintainers:
Linus Torvalds, Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu
The function tracer should record the preemption level at the point when
the function is invoked. If the tracing subsystem decrement the
preemption counter it needs to correct this before feeding the data into
the trace buffer. This was broken in the commit cited below while
shifting the preempt-disabled section.
Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() which properly subtracts one from the
preemption counter on a preemptible kernel.

I haven't been ftrace for quite some time if I got the fixes tag right.
