Instead of returning -EPERM when patch_instruction() fails, just return what patch_instruction returns. That simplifies ftrace_modify_code(): 0: 94 21 ff c0 stwu r1,-64(r1) 4: 93 e1 00 3c stw r31,60(r1) 8: 7c 7f 1b 79 mr. r31,r3 c: 40 80 00 30 bge 3c <ftrace_modify_code+0x3c> 10: 93 c1 00 38 stw r30,56(r1) 14: 7c 9e 23 78 mr r30,r4 18: 7c a4 2b 78 mr r4,r5 1c: 80 bf 00 00 lwz r5,0(r31) 20: 7c 1e 28 40 cmplw r30,r5 24: 40 82 00 34 bne 58 <ftrace_modify_code+0x58> 28: 83 c1 00 38 lwz r30,56(r1) 2c: 7f e3 fb 78 mr r3,r31 30: 83 e1 00 3c lwz r31,60(r1) 34: 38 21 00 40 addi r1,r1,64 38: 48 00 00 00 b 38 <ftrace_modify_code+0x38> 38: R_PPC_REL24 patch_instruction Before: 0: 94 21 ff c0 stwu r1,-64(r1) 4: 93 e1 00 3c stw r31,60(r1) 8: 7c 7f 1b 79 mr. r31,r3 c: 40 80 00 4c bge 58 <ftrace_modify_code+0x58> 10: 93 c1 00 38 stw r30,56(r1) 14: 7c 9e 23 78 mr r30,r4 18: 7c a4 2b 78 mr r4,r5 1c: 80 bf 00 00 lwz r5,0(r31) 20: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0 24: 90 01 00 44 stw r0,68(r1) 28: 7c 1e 28 40 cmplw r30,r5 2c: 40 82 00 48 bne 74 <ftrace_modify_code+0x74> 30: 7f e3 fb 78 mr r3,r31 34: 48 00 00 01 bl 34 <ftrace_modify_code+0x34> 34: R_PPC_REL24 patch_instruction 38: 80 01 00 44 lwz r0,68(r1) 3c: 20 63 00 00 subfic r3,r3,0 40: 83 c1 00 38 lwz r30,56(r1) 44: 7c 63 19 10 subfe r3,r3,r3 48: 7c 08 03 a6 mtlr r0 4c: 83 e1 00 3c lwz r31,60(r1) 50: 38 21 00 40 addi r1,r1,64 54: 4e 80 00 20 blr It improves ftrace activation/deactivation duration by about 3%. Modify patch_instruction() return on failure to -EPERM in order to match with ftrace expectations. Other users of patch_instruction() do not care about the exact error value returned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
