Hi all,

Today's linux-next bboot of the powerpc pseries_le_defconfig build
produced these different kernel messages (diff from yesterday's tree):

- ftrace: allocating 33658 entries in 13 pages
- ftrace: allocated 13 pages with 3 groups
+ ftrace-powerpc: Address of ftrace_regs_caller out of range of kernel_toc.

Thanks for the report. I think that is due to:

The below diff fixes it for me:
