I took arch/arm/ as model. It does the following. Is that wrong ?


static int __ftrace_modify_code(void *data)
{
	int *command = data;

	set_kernel_text_rw();
	ftrace_modify_all_code(*command);
	set_kernel_text_ro();

	return 0;
}

void arch_ftrace_update_code(int command)
{
	stop_machine(__ftrace_modify_code, &command, NULL);
}

Ok, I will look at other arches.
