If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From aedcfbe06558a9f53002e82d5be64c6c94687726 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harvey Hunt <harvey.hunt@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 11:06:35 +0100 Subject: MIPS: lib: Mark intrinsics notrace From: Harvey Hunt <harvey.hunt@xxxxxxxxxx> commit aedcfbe06558a9f53002e82d5be64c6c94687726 upstream. On certain MIPS32 devices, the ftrace tracer "function_graph" uses __lshrdi3() during the capturing of trace data. ftrace then attempts to trace __lshrdi3() which leads to infinite recursion and a stack overflow. 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.
