Message-Id: <20080513.220652.24245811.davem@davemloft.net> Date: Tue, 13 May 2008 22:06:52 -0700 (PDT) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: mingo@...e.hu CC: acme@...hat.com, srostedt@...hat.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 0/2]: Add sparc64 ftrace support. This was a lot more trivial than I expected, about a 20 minute hack. Most of the time was spent on test boots :) The first patch removes the packed attribute from the ftrace_page blob of dynamic ftrace entries, because not only does it cause unaligned accesses on sparc64 it's also totally useless. The second patch adds sparc64 ftrace support. One thing I noticed is that sparc64 uses an mcount implementation already for a quick-and-dirty stack usage checker. I tried to make them live alongside eachother. Next, I think the mcount symbol export needs some tweaking. On sparc, the symbol _mcount is what the compiler references (this seems to be a sparc sysv4'ism) whereas on x86 it appears that plain "mcount" is used. I provide both symbols and we already have a local export of "_mcount" to take care of this. I think architectures should deal with this symbol exporting since it is different on every system.
