Subject: [PATCH v5 03/12] tracing: Add a comment about the requirements of the ftrace_regs
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2023 22:36:23 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <169556258347.146934.12248055282843332442.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <169556254640.146934.5654329452696494756.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add a comment about the requirements of the ftrace_regs if it is
implemented on the arch-dependent code with
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.
