Subject: [RFC][PATCH 04/11] ftrace/recordmcount: Modify only executable sections
Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 22:28:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110421023737.991485123@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110421022825.535486725@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: 0004-ftrace-recordmcount-Modify-only-executable-sections.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 806 bytes --]
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
PROGBITS is not enough to determine if the section should be modified
or not. Only process sections that are marked as executable.
