Hi Linus and Greg, Recently I have been sent patches that fix a bug in the enabling of ftrace function tracer, where if something goes wrong with the enabling (or disabling), it can cause a crash of the computer.
Now, my question is, the bug requires something to go wrong at a point where I've never seen it go wrong before. But if you inject a problem (code that makes it fail on the 1000th iteration), sure enough, the recovery is not correct and the machine crashes. Is this fix something that I should push to -rc as well as to stable? Or should I just add this to my 3.15 queue, as I have never heard of someone triggering it. The only report is from someone that was testing the failure cases.
