Subject: [PATCH 0/8] powerpc: Various fixes and enhancements for kprobes and ftrace
Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 10:06:13 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1493831558.git.naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
[Reposting this as I missed copying the distribution list in my
previous posting. For those who were copied previously, sorry for the spam]
This series initially started out as a fix for a single bug I found:
kernel Oops when jprobes is used with the function_graph tracer. Though
that particular bug turned out to be a solved problem on other
architectures (as seen in patch 1), my investigation revealed quite a
few other bugs as well as scope for optimizing our ftrace handlers.
This series includes all the fixes and enhancements I have made so far.
There are a few more bugs and fixes that I will be coding up and sending
across in a day or two.
This series has been run through ftrace selftests.
