[Reposting this as I missed copying the distribution list in my
previous posting. For those who were copied previously, sorry for the spam]

This series initially started out as a fix for a single bug I found:
kernel Oops when jprobes is used with the function_graph tracer. Though
that particular bug turned out to be a solved problem on other
architectures (as seen in patch 1), my investigation revealed quite a
few other bugs as well as scope for optimizing our ftrace handlers.

This series includes all the fixes and enhancements I have made so far.
There are a few more bugs and fixes that I will be coding up and sending
across in a day or two.

This series has been run through ftrace selftests.
