ftrace/x86: Call text_ip_addr() instead of the duplicated code
I just went over this when looking at some Xen-related ftrace initialization problems. They were related to Xen code that is not upstream but this clean up would make sense here. I think that this was already the intention when text_ip_addr() was introduced in the commit 87fbb2ac6073a703930 (ftrace/x86: Use breakpoints for converting function graph caller). Anyway, better do it now before it shots people into their leg ;-) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/p/1401812601-2359-1-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
