Dave,

Can you send me your full .config, and also what you did to trigger
this? As I see ftrace_call is there, I'm assuming you have function
tracing enabled somewhere. Probably via perf, as ftrace_ops_control_func
is used by perf.

Also, if you added anything special on the kernel command line, that
info will be useful too.

Thanks,
