Subject: [PATCH 0/9] powerpc: port of dynamic ftrace

Paul,

Here are the patches that include the changes suggested by both you
and Milton. This series includes the back port of three commits from tip
that are needed for the PowerPC port.

I also made a git branch called "ppc/ftrace-disable" that does not
include two of the three commits. It adds a patch to keep dynamic
ftrace from being enabled by PowerPC architectures.

As I stated above, both branches include one commit from tip:

  ftrace: align __mcount_loc sections

This is because one of the PowerPC patches will not apply without
it. That commit was a clean cherry pick into mainline, so I'm not
worried about it. Still, the only commits that should go to mainline
from the PowerPC git repo are the ones that start with "powerpc".

In the ppc/ftrace-hack branch, I folded the other two commits
from tip, that are needed for the port, into a single commit.
This commit is called:

 NOT FOR MAINLINE ftrace: pass module struct to arch dynamic ftrace functions

This is only to let you test the rest of the patches. I've booted
this branch and ran it on both my PPC64 and my PP32 boxes.

Again:

  The working branch is:                   ppc/ftrace-hack

  The disabling dynamic ftrace branch is:  ppc/ftrace-disable

Only the commits starting with "powerpc" should be pushed to mainline
by you. Those patches are the same in both of the above branches.

Also, I have not tested that "NOT FOR MAINLINE" patch on x86. It may
break that arch. Which is another reason not to push it.


The following patches are in:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace.git

    branch: ppc/ftrace-hack
