Subject: perf/ftrace: Check for rcu_is_watching() in callback function
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5d029b035bf112466541b844ee1b86197936db65;p=linux.git

perf/ftrace: Check for rcu_is_watching() in callback function

If a ftrace callback requires "rcu_is_watching", then it adds the
FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU flag and it will not be called if RCU is not "watching".
But this means that it will use a trampoline when called, and this slows
down the function tracing a tad. By checking rcu_is_watching() from within
the callback, it no longer needs the RCU flag set in the ftrace_ops and it
can be safely called directly.
