Subject: [PATCH 3.18 20/56] arm64: make secondary_start_kernel() notrace

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zhizhou Zhang <zhizhouzhang@...micro.com>

[ Upstream commit b154886f7892499d0d3054026e19dfb9a731df61 ]

We can't call function trace hook before setup percpu offset.
When entering secondary_start_kernel(), percpu offset has not
been initialized.  So this lead hotplug malfunction.
Here is the flow to reproduce this bug:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
