Hi, Steven. Thanks for your feedback. I'll keep this point
in mind. I was wondering why Alexei changed the "make" to "Make"
in c11f34e30088 :/

Okay!

It means to reset the filter hash of the ftrace_ops to ips. In
the origin logic, the filter hash of a direct ftrace_ops will not
be changed. However, in the tracing-multi case, there are
multi functions in the filter hash and can change. This function
is used to change the filter hash of a direct ftrace_ops.

Sounds nice~

Okay! I'll do the modification as your comment in this (and other)
patches.
