2019-11-13tracing: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTIONSebastian Andrzej Siewior
CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT. Add additional header output for PREEMPT_RT.

2019-11-04ftrace: Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flagMiroslav Benes
Livepatch uses ftrace for redirection to new patched functions. It means that if ftrace is disabled, all live patched functions are disabled as well. Toggling global 'ftrace_enabled' sysctl thus affect it directly. It is not a problem per se, because only administrator can set sysctl values, but it still may be surprising. Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag to amend this. If the FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT is set on any ftrace ops, the tracing cannot be disabled by disabling ftrace_enabled. Equally, a callback with the flag set cannot be registered if ftrace_enabled is disabled.

ftrace-uses.rst is not yet included into any toctree, but since it is a .rst file, it is parsed by the Sphinx build. Thats, why we see some WARNINGS: - trace/ftrace-uses.rst:53: WARNING: Definition list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent. - trace/ftrace-uses.rst:89: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string. - trace/ftrace-uses.rst:89: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-strin Fixing the code-block directives results in a less noisy build, but the 'not included' WARNING will be stay: - trace/ftrace-uses.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-11-05ftrace/docs: Add documentation on how to use ftrace from within the kernelSteven Rostedt
With the coming removal of jprobes, using ftrace callbacks is one of the utilities that replace the jprobes functionality. Having a document that explains how to use ftrace as such will help in the transition from jprobes to ftrace. This document is for kernel developers that require attaching a callback to a function within the kernel.
