From 264143c4e54412095f4b615e65bf736fc3c60af0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2025 14:59:24 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Have ftrace pages output reflect freed pages The amount of memory that ftrace uses to save the descriptors to manage the functions it can trace is shown at output. But if there are a lot of functions that are skipped because they were weak or the architecture added holes into the tables, then the extra pages that were allocated are freed. But these freed pages are not reflected in the numbers shown, and they can even be inconsistent with what is reported: ftrace: allocating 57482 entries in 225 pages ftrace: allocated 224 pages with 3 groups The above shows the number of original entries that are in the mcount_loc section and the pages needed to save them (225), but the second output reflects the number of pages that were actually used. The two should be consistent as: ftrace: allocating 56739 entries in 224 pages ftrace: allocated 224 pages with 3 groups The above also shows the accurate number of entires that were actually stored and does not include the entries that were removed.
