Subject: [PATCH 12/18] ftrace: Fix the output of enabled_functions debug file
Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 20:12:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130511001305.508530826@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20130511001206.477862307@goodmis.org

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The enabled_functions debugfs file was created to be able to see
what functions have been modified from nops to calling a tracer.

The current method uses the counter in the function record.
As when a ftrace_ops is registered to a function, its count
increases. But that doesn't mean that the function is actively
being traced. /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled can be set to zero
which would disable it, as well as something can go wrong and
we can think its enabled when only the counter is set.

The record's FTRACE_FL_ENABLED flag is set or cleared when its
function is modified. That is a much more accurate way of knowing
what function is enabled or not.
