This is caused by 58b69401c797e (MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken 
function tracing), which broke ftrace for 64-bit kernels.  The subject 
of the patch is a bit misleading in this respect, it probably should 
have been something like 'MIPS: Function tracer: Break function tracing 
that used to work'
