On certain MIPS32 devices, the ftrace tracer "function_graph" uses

Fix this by marking __lshrdi3() as notrace. Mark the other compiler
intrinsics as notrace in case the compiler decides to use them in the
ftrace path.
Makes perfect sense - but I'm wondering how you triggered it. Was this
a build with the GCC option -Os that is CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE?
Usually people build with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE that is -O2
which results in intrinsics being inlined.
This is triggered by building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. This
explains why I only saw it on certain MIPS32 devices - Malta's
defconfigs don't have CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE enabled, but the
pistachio and Ci20 defconfigs do.

Thanks,
