Impact: new feature Currently, the function tracer only gives you an ability to hook a tracer to all functions being traced. The dynamic function trace allows you to pick and choose which of those functions will be traced, but all functions being traced will call all tracers that registered with the function tracer. This patch adds a new feature that allows a tracer to hook to specific functions, even when all functions are being traced. It allows for different functions to call different tracer hooks. The way this is accomplished is by a special function that will hook to the function tracer and will set up a hash table knowing which tracer hook to call with which function. This is the most general and easiest method to accomplish this. Later, an arch may choose to supply their own method in changing the mcount call of a function to call a different tracer. But that will be an exercise for the future. To register a function: struct ftrace_hook_ops { void (*func)(unsigned long ip, unsigned long parent_ip, void **data); int (*callback)(unsigned long ip, void **data); void (*free)(void **data); }; int register_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops, void *data); glob is a simple glob to search for the functions to hook. ops is a pointer to the operations (listed below) data is the default data to be passed to the hook functions when traced ops: func is the hook function to call when the functions are traced callback is a callback function that is called when setting up the hash. That is, if the tracer needs to do something special for each function, that is being traced, and wants to give each function its own data. The address of the entry data is passed to this callback, so that the callback may wish to update the entry to whatever it would like. free is a callback for when the entry is freed. In case the tracer allocated any data, it is give the chance to free it. To unregister we have three functions: void unregister_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops, void *data) This will unregister all hooks that match glob, point to ops, and have its data matching data. (note, if glob is NULL, blank or '*', all functions will be tested). void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_func(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops) This will unregister all functions matching glob that has an entry pointing to ops. void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_all(char *glob) This simply unregisters all funcs.
