applied, thanks David. Cool stuff! :-)

ok. It was so for purely histeric raisons, when we still tried to stuff
it all into 32 bytes per trace entry, 3-4 years ago or so.

my thinking would be to perhaps also do an ftrace/max-stack plugin that
would just measure the maximum stack footprint - coupled with emitting
the stack trace itself to the trace buffer. This way we could measure
the maximum stack footprint even of very yucky codepaths where we
couldnt do a printk or other ad-hoc things.
While such an ftrace/max-stack plugin would be something very similar to
and would reuse much of trace_functions.c, i think on the UI side it
should be a separate tracer plugin. I.e. we could tell people "activate
ftrace/max-stack" and they'd know what to do, and it would just do the
right thing by default after a:
echo max-stack > /debug/tracing/current_tracer

ok, agreed, fixed this bug on x86 - see the first patch below.
[ also a patch integration detail: i took the liberty to move your
arch/sparc64/Kconfig's HAVE_FTRACE to the first spot of the SPARC64
select lines as per the second patch below - your patch had a conflict
against current mainline (which probably means you already changed
this file in your Sparc64 tree). By moving that entry to the first
line your tree and the ftrace tree should auto-merge just fine without
any conflicts. ]
btw., if you have any ftrace usability observations (or any observations
about it), let us know. ftrace tries to be self-contained (no user-space
tools required) and 'intuitive by default' - i.e. someone looking into
/debug/tracing/ and at the trace output for the first time should find
his way around and should be able to operate most of its functionality
without much effort.
But there lies the minor complication: it is pretty hard for us ftrace
developers to look into /debug/tracing/ "for the first time", so we rely
on others to tell us their first impressions, to improve the code :-)

Subject: ftrace: fix mcount export bug
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>
Date: Wed May 14 08:10:31 CEST 2008
David S. Miller noticed the following bug: the -pg instrumentation
function callback is named differently on each platform. On x86 it
is mcount, on sparc it is _mcount. So the export does not make sense
in kernel/trace/ftrace.c - move it to x86.
