Cover letter [RFC][PATCH 0/4] tracing: Allow function tracing to start earlier in boot up
I've had people ask about moving tracing up further in the boot process. This patch series looks at function tracing only. It allows for tracing (and function filtering) to be moved right after memory is initialized. To have it happen before memory initialization would require a bit more work with allocating the ring buffer. But this is a start.
I placed a hook into free_reserved_area() which is used by all archs to free the init memory. Having it pass the range being freed to ftrace lets ftrace clean up any function that is registered such that it doesn't try to modify code that no longer exists.
