Subject: [for-next][PATCH 03/32] x86, power, suspend: Annotate restore_processor_state() with notrace
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2014 09:15:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140719131609.615594280@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20140719131524.009152325@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: 0003-x86-power-suspend-Annotate-restore_processor_state-w.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2505 bytes --]
From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
ftrace_stop() is used to stop function tracing during suspend and resume
which removes a lot of possible debugging opportunities with tracing.
The reason was that some function in the resume path was causing a triple
fault if it were to be traced. The issue I found was that doing something
as simple as calling smp_processor_id() would reboot the box!
When function tracing was first created I didn't have a good way to figure
out what function was having issues, or it looked to be multiple ones. To
fix it, we just created a big hammer approach to the problem which was to
add a flag in the mcount trampoline that could be checked and not call
the traced functions.
Lately I developed better ways to find problem functions and I can bisect
down to see what function is causing the issue. I removed the flag that
stopped tracing and proceeded to find the problem function and it ended
up being restore_processor_state(). This function makes sense as when the
CPU comes back online from a suspend it calls this function to set up
registers, amongst them the GS register, which stores things such as
what CPU the processor is (if you call smp_processor_id() without this
set up properly, it would fault).
By making restore_processor_state() notrace, the system can suspend and
resume without the need of the big hammer tracing to stop.
