Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 12cce594fa ftrace/x86: Allow !CONFIG_PREEMPT dynamic ops to use allocated trampolines ... When the static ftrace_ops (like function tracer) enables tracing, and it is the only callback that is referencing a function, a trampoline is dynamically allocated to the function that calls the callback directly instead of calling a loop function that iterates over all the registered ftrace ops (if more than one ops is registered). But when it comes to dynamically allocated ftrace_ops, where they may be freed, on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel there's no way to know when it is safe to free the trampoline. If a task was preempted while executing on the trampoline, there's currently no way to know when it will be off that trampoline. But this is not true when it comes to !CONFIG_PREEMPT. The current method of calling schedule_on_each_cpu() will force tasks off the trampoline, becaues they can not schedule while on it (kernel preemption is not configured). That means it is safe to free a dynamically allocated ftrace ops trampoline when CONFIG_PREEMPT is not configured. Cc: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com> Cc: Paul E.
