Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Kill ftrace_caller_end label
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:08:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450109314-20323-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

One of ftrace_caller_and and ftrace_return is redundant so unify them.
Rename ftrace_return to ftrace_epilogue to mean that everything after
that label represents, like an afterword, work which happens *after* the
ftrace call, e.g., the function graph tracer for one.

Beef up the comment about the code contents and layout before
ftrace_epilogue label.
