Nit, but the variable should just be "new_flags", which is consistent with
old_flags. In the kernel we don't need to the variable names to be so
verbose.

bit is already the mask, no need to shift it, nor there's no reason for the
extra set of parenthesis. And the above can be done in one line.

new_flags = (func_flags.val & ~bit) | (set ? bit : 0);



OK, I totally misinterpreted the meaning of the "bit" argument of the 
function. I did not realized it is a mask. I was thinking the argument 
gives only the number of the bit that changes (like 5 for the 5-th bit 
inside the mask).


Thanks!
Yordan

Is there a reason why you defined this function here and not before its
first use? When defining functions, I tend to try to define them before
their first use to not need to declare the static prototype above.

The reasons for doing the static prototype and using a static function is
usually because of #ifdef around the first use, and keeping the function
from being hidden by the #ifdef, or the static function already exists, and
then gets used in a function before it, where it's just easier to add the
static declaration than moving the function.

[PATCH v2 4/5] tracing: Unify the logic for function tracing options

2021-03-29 Thread Yordan Karadzhov (VMware)
Currently the logic for dealing with the options for function tracing
has two different implementations. One is used when we set the flags
(in "static int func_set_flag()") and another used when we initialize
the tracer (in "static int function_trace_init()"). Those two
implementations are meant to do essentially the same thing and they
are both not very convenient for adding new options. In this patch
we add a helper function that provides a single implementation of
the logic for dealing with the options and we make it such that new
options can be easily added.
