39 Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function. This is done
40 by using a compiler feature to insert a small, 5-byte No-Operation
41 instruction to the beginning of every kernel function, which NOP
42 sequence is then dynamically patched into a tracer call when
43 tracing is enabled by the administrator. If it's runtime disabled
44 (the bootup default), then the overhead of the instructions is very
45 small and not measurable even in micro-benchmarks.

129 This tracer helps developers to optimize boot times: it records
130 the timings of the initcalls. Its aim is to be parsed by the
131 /scripts/bootgraph.pl tool to produce pretty graphics about
132 boot inefficiencies, giving a visual representation of the

133 delays during initcalls. Note that tracers self tests can't
134 be enabled if this tracer is selected since only one tracer
135 should touch the tracing buffer at a time.

154 This option will modify all the calls to ftrace dynamically
155 (will patch them out of the binary image and replaces them
156 with a No-Op instruction) as they are called. A table is
157 created to dynamically enable them again.
158
159 This way a CONFIG_FTRACE kernel is slightly larger, but otherwise
160 has native performance as long as no tracing is active.
161
162 The changes to the code are done by a kernel thread that
163 wakes up once a second and checks to see if any ftrace calls
164 were made. If so, it runs stop_machine (stops all CPUS)
165 and modifies the code to jump over the call to ftrace.
