Subject: [PATCH] tracing: use union for multi-usages field
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:38:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49C871BE.3080405@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)


Impact: cleanup

cleanup for readability.

struct dyn_ftrace::ip has different usages in his lifecycle,
we use union for it. And also for struct dyn_ftrace::flags.
