Subject: [PATCH 1/8] powerpc/kprobes: Pause function_graph tracing during jprobes handling
Date: Thu,  4 May 2017 10:06:14 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <92bb3fa1bd428d8f556f9a90ff97752c2e8f8dfa.1493831558.git.naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

In-Reply-To: <cover.1493831558.git.naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This fixes a crash when function_graph and jprobes are used together.
This is essentially commit 237d28db036e ("ftrace/jprobes/x86: Fix
conflict between jprobes and function graph tracing"), but for powerpc.

Jprobes breaks function_graph tracing since the jprobe hook needs to use
jprobe_return(), which never returns back to the hook, but instead to
the original jprobe'd function. The solution is to momentarily pause
function_graph tracing before invoking the jprobe hook and re-enable it
when returning back to the original jprobe'd function.
