Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm64: ftrace: Set FTRACE_SCHEDULABLE before ftrace_modify_all_code()
Date: Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:48:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181205183304.000714627@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20181205174852.435233070@goodmis.org
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
It has been reported that ftrace_replace_code() which is called by
ftrace_modify_all_code() can cause a soft lockup warning for an
allmodconfig kernel. This is because all the debug options enabled
causes the loop in ftrace_replace_code() (which loops over all the
functions being enabled where there can be 10s of thousands), is too
slow, and never schedules out.
To solve this, setting FTRACE_SCHEDULABLE to the command passed into
ftrace_replace_code() will make it call cond_resched() in the loop,
which prevents the soft lockup warning from triggering.
