From: Ian Munsie Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2011 03:27:25 +0000 (+1100) Subject: tracing/syscalls: Early terminate search for sys_ni_syscall X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae07f551c42d6e4162436ca452a199deac9dab4d;p=mv-sheeva.git tracing/syscalls: Early terminate search for sys_ni_syscall Many system calls are unimplemented and mapped to sys_ni_syscall, but at boot ftrace would still search through every syscall metadata entry for a match which wouldn't be there. This patch adds causes the search to terminate early if the system call is not mapped.
