25 | Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function. This is done | ||
26 | by using a compiler feature to insert a small, 5-byte No-Operation | ||
27 | instruction to the beginning of every kernel function, which NOP | ||
28 | sequence is then dynamically patched into a tracer call when | ||
29 | tracing is enabled by the administrator. If it's runtime disabled | ||
30 | (the bootup default), then the overhead of the instructions is very | ||

111 | This option will modify all the calls to ftrace dynamically | ||
112 | (will patch them out of the binary image and replaces them | ||
113 | with a No-Op instruction) as they are called. A table is | ||
114 | created to dynamically enable them again. | ||
115 | |||
116 | This way a CONFIG_FTRACE kernel is slightly larger, but otherwise | ||
117 | has native performance as long as no tracing is active. | ||
118 | |||
119 | The changes to the code are done by a kernel thread that | ||
120 | wakes up once a second and checks to see if any ftrace calls | ||
121 | were made. If so, it runs stop_machine (stops all CPUS) | ||
122 | and modifies the code to jump over the call to ftrace. | ||
