The ftrace part looks good, indeed such style issue is usually warned by checkpatch.pl
Thanks.

Ingo,

What do you think of the current state of the hardware breakpoint patchset?
If I'm not wrong, it has not yet been applied in -tip. Do you have mixed

IIRC it has been mostly (fully?) acked by Alan Stern, I've also reviewed
the ftrace patch.

Frederic.
