Hi, I'm using 4.8.6-rt5 and find the following issue on nxp-t4xxx board/qemuppc/qemux86-64. When executing "echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer" the system hangs. I traced the kernel to where it dies but don't know how to fix. Please help. Thank you. (gdb) b ftrace_startup ...
