From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2012 14:31:18 +0000 (+0900) Subject: ftrace/x86-64: Allow to change RIP in handlers X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=47d5a5f88b9d25d6464c9b60c28f391e84e3ed65;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git ftrace/x86-64: Allow to change RIP in handlers Allow ftrace handlers to change RIP register (regs->ip) in handlers. This will allow handlers to call another function instead of original function.
