[for-next][PATCH 2/5] ftrace: Do not process STUB functions in ftrace_ops_list_func()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Apr 25 2019 - 12:29:02 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The function_graph tracer has a stub function and its ops flag has the
FTRACE_OPS_FL_STUB set. As the function graph does not use the
ftrace_ops->func pointer but instead is called by a separate part of the
ftrace trampoline. The function_graph tracer still requires to pass in a
ftrace_ops that may also hold the hash of the functions to call. But there's
no reason to test that hash in the function tracing portion. Instead of
testing to see if we should call the stub function, just test if the ops has
FTRACE_OPS_FL_STUB set, and just skip it.
