ftrace: Make all inline tags also include notrace
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 5963e31 ("ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when
calling lockdep") prevented lockdep calls from the int3 breakpoint handler
from reseting the stack if a function that was called was in the process
of being converted for tracing and had a breakpoint on it. The idea is,
before calling the lockdep code, do a load_idt() to the special IDT that
kept the breakpoint stack from reseting. This worked well as a quick fix
for this kernel release, until a certain config caused a lockup in the
function tracer start up tests.

Investigating it, I found that the load_idt that was used to prevent
the int3 from changing stacks was itself being traced!

Even though the config had CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING disabled, and
all 'inline' tags were set to always inline, there were still cases that
it did not inline! This was caused by CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST, where it
would add a pointer to the native_load_idt() which made that function
to be traced.

Commit 45959ee ("ftrace: Do not function trace inlined functions")
only touched the 'inline' tags when CONFIG_OPMITIZE_INLINING was enabled.
PARAVIRT_GUEST shows that this was not enough and we need to also
mark always_inline with notrace as well.
