Subject: [RFC][PATCH 09/11] ftrace/x86: Do not trace .discard.text section
Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 22:28:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110421023739.243651696@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110421022825.535486725@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: 0009-ftrace-x86-Do-not-trace-.discard.text-section.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 961 bytes --]
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
The section called .discard.text has tracing attached to it and is
currently ignored by ftrace. But it does include a call to the mcount
stub. Adding a notrace to the code keeps gcc from adding the useless
mcount caller to it.
