Title:
  ftrace on xenial can be hung, cause an oops or reboot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  == SRU Request, Xenial ==

  While writing an ftrace smoke test I managed to hang, oops and reboot
  the kernel when running the same test on the current xenial kernel on
  amd64.  The test works fine on other kernels, so this is specific to
  Xenial.

  == Test case ==

  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/autotest-client-
  tests.git/commit/?id=cb1d178ee4cf42cffbf5ec20b9707365aa941f16

  Without the fix, the kernel will hang/crash.  With the fix the test
  will run to completion as expected.

  == Fix ==

      ftrace/x86: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short
  jumps to it

  == Regression Potenial ==

  Slim to zero.
