Subject: [PATCH] tracing: branch: Fix inverted check on stat tracer registration
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:25:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420-tracing-v1-1-d8f4cd0d6af1@debian.org> (raw)
init_annotated_branch_stats() and all_annotated_branch_stats() check the
return value of register_stat_tracer() with "if (!ret)", but
register_stat_tracer() returns 0 on success and a negative errno on
failure. The inverted check causes the warning to be printed on every
successful registration, e.g.:
Warning: could not register annotated branches stats
while leaving real failures silent. The initcall also returned a
hard-coded 1 instead of the actual error.
Invert the check and propagate ret so that the warning fires on real
errors and the initcall reports the correct status.
Fixes: 002bb86d8d42 ("tracing/ftrace: separate events tracing and stats tracing engine")
