The bug was quite subtle: it only happened if pstore tracing was enabled before any other tracers. And it magically disappeared otherwise. This is because ftrace_ops_list_func() does its own recurse protection, but ftrace_ops_list_func() is only used when there are more than one 'struct ops' registered, otherwise ->func is called directly. Of course, if I specify FL_GLOBAL/FL_CONTROL flag for the tracer, then it will not try to call the func directly. But then there is a question: do we really want to set these flags if we yet don't want removable modules? Or, setting at least FL_CONTROL would be a good idea anyway, since it will then react to ftrace_function_local_{enable,disable}()?
