Subject: [RESEND][PATCH]Ftrace - fix function_graph tracer OOPS
Date: Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:43:08 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091009121308.21261.44640.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

This time sending the patch as inline and not as an attachment.

Enabling function graph causes oops due to usage of LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE().
As explained by Ben the usage of LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE generates relocs that are
not supported when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set. 

Switch to LOAD_REG_ADDR().
