From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2018 17:10:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] function_graph: Create function_graph_enter() to consolidate architecture code
Currently all the architectures do basically the same thing in preparing the function graph tracer on entry to a function. This code can be pulled into a generic location and then this will allow the function graph tracer to be fixed, as well as extended.
Create a new function graph helper function_graph_enter() that will call the hook function (ftrace_graph_entry) and the shadow stack operation (ftrace_push_return_trace), and remove the need of the architecture code to manage the shadow stack.
This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack is used.
