ftrace/x86: Have static tracing also use ftrace_caller_setup Linus pointed out that there were locations that did the hard coded update of the parent and rip parameters. One of them was the static tracer which could also use the ftrace_caller_setup to do that work. In fact, because it did not use it, it is prone to bugs, and since the static tracer is hardly ever used (who wants function tracing code always being called?) it doesn't get tested very often. I only run a few "does it still work" tests on it. But I do not run stress tests on that code. Although, since it is never turned off, just having it on should be stressful enough. (especially for the performance folks) There's no reason that the static tracer can't also use ftrace_caller_setup. Have it do so.
