ftrace: Fix DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_REGS by default
The commit 60c8971 ("ftrace: Make DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS
and !WITH_REGS") changed DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_ARGS when there
are multiple ftrace_ops at the same function, but since the x86 only
support to jump to direct_call from ftrace_regs_caller, when we set
the function tracer on the same target function on x86, ftrace-direct
does not work as below (this actually works on arm64.)
At first, insmod ftrace-direct.ko to put a direct_call on
'wake_up_process()'.
# insmod kernel/samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct.ko
# less trace
...
<idle>-0 [006] ..s1. 564.686958: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
<idle>-0 [007] ..s1. 564.687836: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63
<idle>-0 [006] ..s1. 564.690926: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
<idle>-0 [006] ..s1. 564.696872: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
<idle>-0 [007] ..s1. 565.191982: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63
Setup a function filter to the 'wake_up_process' too, and enable it.
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo wake_up_process > set_ftrace_filter
# echo function > current_tracer
# less trace
...
<idle>-0 [006] ..s3. 686.180972: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
<idle>-0 [006] ..s3. 686.186919: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
<idle>-0 [002] ..s3. 686.264049: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
<idle>-0 [002] d.h6. 686.515216: wake_up_process <-kick_pool
<idle>-0 [002] d.h6. 686.691386: wake_up_process <-kick_pool
Then, only function tracer is shown on x86.
But if you enable 'kprobe on ftrace' event (which uses SAVE_REGS flag)
on the same function, it is shown again.
# echo 'p wake_up_process' >> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/p_wake_up_process_0/enable
# echo > trace
# less trace
...
<idle>-0 [006] ..s2. 2710.345919: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
<idle>-0 [006] ..s3. 2710.345923: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
<idle>-0 [006] ..s1. 2710.345928: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
<idle>-0 [006] ..s2. 2710.349931: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
<idle>-0 [006] ..s3. 2710.349934: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
<idle>-0 [006] ..s1. 2710.349937: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
To fix this issue, use SAVE_REGS flag for multiple ftrace_ops flag of
direct_call by default.
