Subject: [PATCH] tracing: remove superfluous sub instructions
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 16:28:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1295364498-9288-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com> (raw)

hi,

I think there's no need for substracting MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE from the
IP parameter before calling the function trace (/graph) handler.

Maybe I overlooked something, but all the IP usage I saw ended
up in the kallsyms_lookup function, which does the lookup using the
functions' start/end boundaries to find the correct symbol for pointer.

Thus it seems to me there's no point in substracting the
MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE value from the IP parameter.

I tested for x86_64 and got proper results, I believe it's
the same case for x86_32.

wbr,
jirka
