Subject: powerpc/radix: Remove trace_tlbie call from radix__flush_tlb_all
From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8d81296cfcce89013a714feb8d25004a156f8181 upstream.
radix__flush_tlb_all() is called only in kexec path in real mode and any
tracepoints at this stage will make kexec to fail if enabled.
To verify enable tlbie trace before kexec.
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/powerpc/tlbie/enable
== kexec into new kernel and kexec fails.
Fix this by not calling trace_tlbie from radix__flush_tlb_all().
