ftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_opsgrafted
There's some internal state that ftrace_ops needs to have set, but since
it can be declared outside of the ftrace.c code, it calls
ftrace_ops_init() on the ops in every global function. The issue is that
if two tasks call it on the same ops at the same time it is possible to
have the initialization of one corrupt the initialization of the other
call.
Create a ops_mutex to use to synchronize every initialization of the
ftrace_ops. The mutex is taken within checking the ftrace_ops flag that
states it was initializied but the flag is checked again after the mutex
has been taken. Checking first outside the mutex allows it to shortcut
having to take the mutex. But then the check needs to be done again after
the mute is taken in case of races.

With the exception of I2C_M_NOSTART, they +are usually only needed to work around device issues: + +I2C_M_IGNORE_NAK: + Normally message is interrupted immediately if there is [NA] from the + client. Setting this flag treats any [NA] as [A], and all of + message is sent. + These messages may still fail to SCL lo->hi timeout. + +I2C_M_NO_RD_ACK: + In a read message, master A/NA bit is skipped. + +I2C_M_NOSTART: + In a combined transaction, no 'S Addr Wr/Rd [A]' is generated at some + point. For example, setting I2C_M_NOSTART on the second partial message + generates something like:: + + S Addr Rd [A] [Data] NA Data [A] P + + If you set the I2C_M_NOSTART variable for the first partial message, + we do not generate Addr, but we do generate the start condition S. + This will probably confuse all other clients on your bus, so don't + try this. + + This is often used to gather transmits from multiple data buffers in + system memory into something that appears as a single transfer to the + I2C device but may also be used between direction changes by some + rare devices. + +I2C_M_REV_DIR_ADDR: + This toggles the Rd/Wr flag. That is, if you want to do a write, but + need to emit an Rd instead of a Wr, or vice versa, you set this + flag. For example:: + + S Addr Rd [A] Data [A] Data [A] ... [A] Data [A] P + +I2C_M_STOP: + Force a stop condition (P) after the message. Some I2C related protocols + like SCCB require that. Normally, you really don't want to get interrupted + between the messages of one transfer. |
