ftrace_stop() is used to stop function tracing during suspend and resume which removes a lot of possible debugging opportunities with tracing. The reason was that some function in the resume path was causing a triple fault if it were to be traced. The issue I found was that doing something as simple as calling smp_processor_id() would reboot the box! When function tracing was first created I didn't have a good way to figure out what function was having issues, or it looked to be multiple ones. To fix it, we just created a big hammer approach to the problem which was to add a flag in the mcount trampoline that could be checked and not call the traced functions. Lately I developed better ways to find problem functions and I can bisect down to see what function is causing the issue. I removed the flag that stopped tracing and proceeded to find the problem function and it ended up being restore_processor_state(). This function makes sense as when the CPU comes back online from a suspend it calls this function to set up registers, amongst them the GS register, which stores things such as what CPU the processor is (if you call smp_processor_id() without this set up properly, it would fault). By making restore_processor_state() notrace, the system can suspend and resume without the need of the big hammer tracing to stop.
