[PATCH v7 00/17] ftrace for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com>]

From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com>

This patchset incorporates the feedbacks from Steven, Frederic, David, Richard
and Michal.

The main changes from the v6 version:

 o tracing: add IRQENTRY_EXIT section for MIPS: keep the return value of
 do_IRQ_* be void as the original version does.

 o tracing: define a new __time_notrace annotation flag: replace the old
 __arch_notrace by __time_notrace, just keep the stuff simpler.

 o tracing: make ftrace for MIPS work without -fno-omit-frame-pointer: prepare
 for the future -fomit-frame-pointer, Seems we are not necessary to enable
 -fno-omit-frame-pointer with -pg

 o tracing: make ftrace for MIPS more robust: add the safe load/store
 operations for MIPS
 
 o tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS: make the searching of
 the location of return address(ra) clearer.

 o tracing: reserve $12(t0) for mcount-ra-address of gcc 4.5
   tracing: make function graph tracer work with -mmcount-ra-address
 
All of these updates have been pused into:

git://dev.lemote.com/rt4ls.git  linux-mips/dev/ftrace-upstream

All of these stuff and their combinations have been tested with gcc 4.4 & 4.5
on a YeeLoong netbook.

Welcome to play with it and give more feedbacks ;)

Thanks & Regards,
       Wu Zhangjin
