Subject: [PATCH 0/2] [GIT PULL] ftrace: Fix trampoline accounting

Linus,

Adding the new code for 3.19, I discovered a couple of minor bugs with
the accounting of the ftrace_ops trampoline logic. One was that the
old hash was not updated before calling the modify code for an ftrace_ops.
The second bug was what let the first bug go unnoticed, as the update would
check the current hash for all ftrace_ops (where it should only check the
old hash for modified ones). This let things work when only one ftrace_ops
was registered to a function, but could break if more than one was
registered depending on the order of the look ups.

The worse thing that can happen if this bug triggers is that the ftrace
self checks would find an anomaly and shut itself down.

*NOTE* My old subkey just expired. I created a new subkey: 8A87D95D
It may take a while before the key servers sync up.
