Paul and Benjamin, Can I add your Acked-by: to all these patches that I submitted? I'm going to recommit them with a consistent subject (all lower case ppc), but I'm not going to change the patches themselves. Would you two be fine with that? Or at least one of you? -- Steve ___

[PATCH 0/7] Porting dynmaic ftrace to PowerPC

2008-11-16 Thread Steven Rostedt
The following patches are for my work on porting the new dynamic ftrace framework to PowerPC. The issue I had with both PPC64 and PPC32 is that the calls to mcount are 24 bit jumps. Since the modules are loaded in vmalloc address space, the call to mcount is farther than what a 24 bit jump can ma
