Subject: [BUG?]3.0-rc4+ftrace+kprobe: set kprobe at instruction 'stwu' lead to
 system crash/freeze

Hi,

When I use kprobe to do something, I found some wired thing.

When CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is disabled:
(gdb) disassemble do_fork
Dump of assembler code for function do_fork:
   0xc0037390 <+0>:	mflr    r0
   0xc0037394 <+4>:	stwu    r1,-64(r1)
   0xc0037398 <+8>:	mfcr    r12
   0xc003739c <+12>:	stmw    r27,44(r1)

Then I:
modprobe kprobe_example func=do_fork offset=4
ls
Things works well.

But when CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER is enabled:
(gdb) disassemble do_fork
Dump of assembler code for function do_fork:
   0xc0040334 <+0>:	mflr    r0
   0xc0040338 <+4>:	stw     r0,4(r1)
   0xc004033c <+8>:	bl      0xc00109d4 <mcount>
   0xc0040340 <+12>:	stwu    r1,-80(r1)
   0xc0040344 <+16>:	mflr    r0
   0xc0040348 <+20>:	stw     r0,84(r1)
   0xc004034c <+24>:	mfcr    r12
Then I:
modprobe kprobe_example func=do_fork offset=12
ls
'ls' will never retrun. system freeze.

I'm using toolchain from:http://www.denx.de/wiki/ELDK-5/WebHome

And kernel config is attached.

BTW, I have made a patch to make kprobe_example set breakpoint easily,
attached too.

Thanks,
Yong
