From af058ab04d3d11383e5159132fc78a3700be3af5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:29:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86-32, ftrace: Fix static ftrace when early microcode is enabled Early microcode loading runs C code before paging is enabled on 32 bits. Since ftrace puts a hook into every function, that hook needs to be safe to execute in the pre-paging environment. This is currently true for dynamic ftrace but not for static ftrace. Static ftrace is obsolescent and assumed to not be performance-critical, so we can simply test that the stack pointer falls within the valid range of kernel addresses.
