[PATCH 07/10] ftrace: pass KBUILD_CFLAGS to record_mcount.pl
On ARM, we have two ABIs, and the ABI used is controlled via a config option. Object files built with one ABI can't be merged with object files built with the other ABI. So, record_mcount.pl needs to use the same compiler flags as the kernel when generating the object file with the mcount locations. Ensure this ... 13 Mar 2010 02:08

[PATCH 03/10] ftrace: allow building without frame pointers
With current gcc, compiling with both -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer is not allowed. However, -pg can be used to build without actually specying -fno-omit-frame-pointer, upon which the defaut behaviour for the target will be used. On ARM, it is not possible to build a Thumb-2 kernel with -fno-omit-frame-pointer (... 13 Mar 2010 02:08

[PATCH 06/10] ARM: ftrace: add Thumb-2 support
Fix the mcount routines to build and run on a kernel built with the Thumb-2 instruction set: - Without the BSYM, the following assembler errors appear: entry-common.S: Assembler messages: entry-common.S:179: Error: invalid immediate for address calculation (value = 0x00000004) - Without the orr, the ... 13 Mar 2010 02:08

[PATCH 00/10] ARM: ftrace: cleanups, Thumb-2, and dynamic ftrace (v2)
v2: Fixes as per review comments. The only code changes are the #error in 0004 and the removal of the #ifdef in 0009. The rest are comments and commit message rewording/expansion. This series contains fixes and improvements to the ARM ftrace support. It adds Thumb-2 support and re-implements the dynamic ftrace... 13 Mar 2010 02:08

[PATCH] Security: Add break judge to smk_import_entry() in security/smack/smack_access.c
In smk_import_entry(), smack[i] = '\0' was set if found = 1, so: if (found) smack[i] = '\0'; No need to continue again, just can break the loop.
