[ Upstream commit78cf0eb926] When update the latest mainline kernel with the following three configs, the kernel hangs during startup: (1) CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y (2) CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER=y (3) CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST=y When update the latest mainline kernel with the above two configs (1) and (2), the kernel starts normally, but it still hangs when execute the following command: echo "function_graph" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Without CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER=y, the above two kinds of kernel hangs disappeared, so it seems that CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER has some influences with function_graph tracer at the first glance. I use ejtag to find out the epc address is related with preempt_enable() in the file arch/mips/lib/mips-atomic.c, because function tracing can trace the preempt_{enable,disable} calls that are traced, replace them with preempt_{enable,disable}_notrace to prevent function tracing from going into an infinite loop, and then it can fix the kernel hang issue. By the way, it seems that this commit is a complement and improvement of commitf93a1a00f2("MIPS: Fix crash that occurs when function tracing is enabled").

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
