From 6a60dd121c5b6c2d827e99b38c1326f2600c3891 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 15:55:21 -0500 Subject: ftrace: split out hardirq ftrace code into own header Impact: moving of function prototypes into own header file ftrace.h is too big of a file for hardirq.h, and some archs will fail to build because of the include dependencies not being met. This patch pulls out the required prototypes for hardirq.h into a smaller and safer ftrace_irq.h file.

This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of the current task. The index of the current return address is initialized when the task is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall, it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called. Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3. For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution. That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on this function enabled.
