3.2.93-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a9f8553e935f26cb5447f67e280946b0923cd2dc upstream.
This fixes a crash when function_graph and jprobes are used together.
This is essentially commit 237d28db036e ("ftrace/jprobes/x86: Fix
conflict between jprobes and function graph tracing"), but for powerpc.
Jprobes breaks function_graph tracing since the jprobe hook needs to use
jprobe_return(), which never returns back to the hook, but instead to
the original jprobe'd function. The solution is to momentarily pause
function_graph tracing before invoking the jprobe hook and re-enable it
when returning back to the original jprobe'd function.
Fixes: 6794c78243bf ("powerpc64: port of the function graph tracer")
