From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:49:23 +0000 (+0100) Subject: tracing/function-return-tracer: call prepare_ftrace_return by registers X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1dc1c6adf38bc5799d1594681645ced40ced4b6b;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git tracing/function-return-tracer: call prepare_ftrace_return by registers Impact: Optimize a bit the function return tracer This patch changes the calling convention of prepare_ftrace_return to pass its arguments by register. This will optimize it a bit and prepare it to support dynamic tracing.
