Subject: [PATCH 6/6] ftrace syscalls: Early terminate search for sys_ni_syscall
Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2011 14:27:25 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1296703645-18718-7-git-send-email-imunsie@au1.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1296703645-18718-1-git-send-email-imunsie@au1.ibm.com>
From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>
Many system calls are unimplemented and mapped to sys_ni_syscall, but at
boot ftrace would still search through every syscall metadata entry for
a match which wouldn't be there.
This patch adds causes the search to terminate early if the system call
is not mapped.
