Subject: [PATCH] arm64: ftrace: stop using kstop_machine to enable/disable tracing
Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2015 15:50:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1448697009-17211-1-git-send-email-huawei.libin@huawei.com> (raw)

On arm64, kstop_machine which is hugely disruptive to a running
system is not needed to convert nops to ftrace calls or back,
because that modifed code is a single 32bit instructions which
is impossible to cross cache (or page) boundaries, and the used str
instruction is single-copy atomic.
