From 9ba394032151c457cd5bb81206ba02882cf96da0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anders Roxell Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2018 15:57:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: add cond_resched to ftrace_modify_code ftrace_modify_code(), which is expensive because it changes the page tables and flush caches. Microseconds add up because this is called in a loop for each dyn_ftrace record, and this triggers the softlockup watchdog unless we let it sleep occationally. Rework so that we call cond_resched() if preemptable().
