Linus Torvalds 01e9982ab3 The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for
separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between
 the function and function_graph tracers.
 
 The main flaw was the simplification of the use of multiple tracers having
 the same filter (like function and function_graph, that use the
 set_ftrace_filter file to filter their code). The design assumed that the
 two tracers could never run simultaneously as only one tracer can be
 used at a time. The problem with this assumption was that the function
 profiler could be implemented on top of the function graph tracer, and
 the function profiler could run at the same time as the function tracer.
 This caused the assumption to be broken and when ftrace detected this
 failed assumpiton it would spit out a nasty warning and shut itself down.
 
 Instead of using a single ftrace_ops that switches between the function
 and function_graph callbacks, the two tracers can again use their own
 ftrace_ops. But instead of having a complex hierarchy of ftrace_ops,
 the filter fields are placed in its own structure and the ftrace_ops
 can carefully use the same filter. This change took a bit to be able
 to allow for this and currently only the global_ops can share the same
 filter, but this new design can easily be modified to allow for any
 ftrace_ops to share its filter with another ftrace_ops.
 
 The first four patches deal with the change of allowing the ftrace_ops
 to share the filter (and this needs to go to 3.16 as well).
 
 The fifth patch fixes a bug that was also caused by the new changes
 but only for archs other than x86, and only if those archs implement
 a direct call to the function_graph tracer which they do not do yet
 but will in the future. It does not need to go to stable, but needs
 to be fixed before the other archs update their code to allow direct
 calls to the function_graph trampoline.

Pull fix for ftrace function tracer/profiler conflict from Steven Rostedt:
 "The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for
