From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> After someone reported a bug report with a failed modification due to the expected value not matching what was found, it came to my attention that the ftrace_expected is no longer set when that happens. This makes for debugging the issue a bit more difficult. Set ftrace_expected to the expected code before calling ftrace_bug, so that it shows what was expected and why it failed.
