From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2018 17:14:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86/function_graph: Simplify with function_graph_enter()
The function_graph_enter() function does the work of calling the function graph hook function and the management of the shadow stack, simplifying the work done in the architecture dependent prepare_ftrace_return().
Have x86 use the new code, and remove the shadow stack management as well as having to set up the trace structure.
This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack is used.
