Those are fun to debug. :-p (I'll use this in another email).

Anyway, you bring up a good point. I should have this:

diff --git a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c
index 84f32dbc7be8..2d76eaaad4a7 100644
--- a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c

 	bit = trace_test_and_set_recursion(TRACE_LIST_START, TRACE_LIST_MAX);
