The kernel crashes here when I build it _with_ modules and enable a tracer. I see this: $> lsmod Module Size Used by af_packet 46767 0 dm_mod 148307 0 e1000 184154 0 rtc_generic 2617 0 ext4 716333 1 crc16 2307 1 ext4 mbcache 14237 1 ext4 jbd2 143496 1 ext4 sd_mod 49002 3 sr_mod 22532 0 cdrom 65024 1 sr_mod ibmvscsi 34139 2 scsi_transport_srp 18979 1 ibmvscsi sg 44568 0 scsi_mod 289641 5 sg,scsi_transport_srp,ibmvscsi,sd_mod,sr_mod autofs4 48256 0 echo function >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer BANG! Some dugging has shown an Oops in the fucntion int_to_scsilun() called from ibmvscsi_queuecommand(). So, I rebooted and did the following test: $> echo ibmvscsi_queuecommand >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter $> echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer $> echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on $> cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # tracer: function # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 7/7 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | bash-3488 [000] .... 100.278622: ibmvscsi_queuecommand <-scsi_dispatch_cmd kworker/1:2-223 [001] .... 101.048569: ibmvscsi_queuecommand <-scsi_dispatch_cmd kworker/1:2-223 [001] .... 103.048575: ibmvscsi_queuecommand <-scsi_dispatch_cmd jbd2/sda3-8-1021 [003] .... 104.008645: ibmvscsi_queuecommand <-scsi_dispatch_cmd jbd2/sda3-8-1021 [003] .... 104.008883: ibmvscsi_queuecommand <-scsi_dispatch_cmd <idle>-0 [000] ..s. 104.017672: ibmvscsi_queuecommand <-scsi_dispatch_cmd <idle>-0 [003] ..s. 104.017771: ibmvscsi_queuecommand <-scsi_dispatch_cmd It means that ibmvscsi_queuecommand can be traced.

I could trace any function when everything is built into the kernel. I am not sure where the problem is but even normal tracing does not work with this patchset and when -pg -mprofile-kernel is used.
