Subject: [PATCH 0/2] [GIT PULL] ftrace: Add more checks to ignore disabled functions

Linus,

Alexei discovered a race condition in modules failing to load that
can cause a ftrace check to trigger and disable ftrace. This is because
of the way modules are registered to ftrace. Their functions are
loaded in the ftrace function tables but set to "disabled" since
they are still in the process of being loaded by the module. After
the module is finished, it calls back into the ftrace infrastructure
to enable it. Looking deeper into the locations that access all the
functions in the table, I found more locations that should ignore
the disabled ones.

Please pull the latest trace-v4.9-rc5 tree, which can be found at:
