We now have dynamic ftrace with the following added items: * ftrace_make_call, ftrace_make_nop (in kernel/ftrace.c) The two functions turn each recorded call site of filtered functions into a call to ftrace_caller or nops * ftracce_update_ftrace_func (in kernel/ftrace.c) turns the nops at ftrace_call into a call to a generic entry for function tracers. * ftrace_caller (in kernel/mcount-dyn.S) The entry where each _mcount call sites calls to once they are filtered to be traced. Also, this patch fixes the semantic problems in mcount.S, which will be treated as only a reference implementation once we have the dynamic ftrace.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
