[PATCH] ftrace: set direct_ops storage-class-specifier to static

[PATCH] ftrace: set direct_ops storage-class-specifier to static

[Tom Rix]

smatch reports this warning
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2594:19: warning:
  symbol 'direct_ops' was not declared. Should it be static?

The variable direct_ops is only used in ftrace.c, so it should be static

This looks good to me.

Thank you!

This makes sense, and as this stands:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

... but Florent's rework of the API is going to remove this anyway:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230316173811.1223508-1-revest@chromium.org/
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230316173811.1223508-4-revest@chromium.org/

... so if we take Florent's series, this patch isn't necessary.

Mark.

Except that it's already upstream:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8732565549011cabbea08329a1aefd78a68d96c7

I had to rebase Florent's patch to accommodate this change.

Sorry for the noise; my fault for being so far behind with patch review!

Mark.
