It's come to my attention that a bug that was fixed by:

43dd61c9a09bd413e837df829e6bfb42159be52a
ftrace: Fix regression of :mod:module function enabling


Exists in the -rt kernel. As the -rt kernel is based off of 3.0.6, this
means that the bug also exists in the stable tree. Without the fix, the
kernel will crash if the root user tries to use the :mod: functionality
of ftrace.

I also believe that the commit:


f7bc8b61f65726ff98f52e286b28e294499d7a08
ftrace: Fix regression where ftrace breaks when modules are loaded

is missing from both stable and -rt as well.

Greg, can you add the above two commits to the stable branch.

Thomas, you may want to add these to -rt, or wait till 3.0.7 comes out.

Wait, that patch causes a TON of warnings to the build, so either I drop
it, or is there some other follow-on patch that I can apply to fix these
warnings?

Ah, I think I want 04da85b86188f224cc9b391b5bdd92a3ba20ffcf, right?

If it stops the warnings, you want that one :)
