Subject: [PATCH 6/7] ftrace/x86-64: Allow to change RIP in handlers
Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2012 07:55:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120908115641.281841506@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120908115515.211175517@goodmis.org>
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1077 bytes --]
Allow ftrace handlers to change RIP register (regs->ip)
in handlers. This will allow handlers to call another
function instead of original function.
