[PATCH] arm64: ftrace: stop using kstop_machine to enable/disable tracing

Show all headers | View 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.
