4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakow...@imgtec.com>
commit c0d80ddab89916273cb97114889d3f337bc370ae upstream.
core_kernel_text is used by MIPS in its function graph trace processing,
so having this method traced leads to an infinite set of recursive calls
such as:
Call Trace:
ftrace_return_to_handler+0x50/0x128
core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
prepare_ftrace_return+0x6c/0x114
ftrace_graph_caller+0x20/0x44
return_to_handler+0x10/0x30
return_to_handler+0x0/0x30
return_to_handler+0x0/0x30
ftrace_ops_no_ops+0x114/0x1bc
core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
ftrace_ops_no_ops+0x114/0x1bc
core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
prepare_ftrace_return+0x6c/0x114
ftrace_graph_caller+0x20/0x44
(...)
Mark the function notrace to avoid it being traced.
