Hi,

I'm using 4.8.6-rt5 and find the following issue on nxp-t4xxx board/qemuppc/qemux86-64.
When executing "echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer" the system hangs.
I traced the kernel to where it dies but don't know how to fix. Please help. Thank you.

(gdb) b ftrace_startup

...

Run till exit from #0 ftrace_startup (ops=0xc0cf1704 <graph_ops>, command=8) at /PATH/TO/kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2653

5911 return ret;
5912 }
(gdb) n
5910 mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);
(gdb) n

hangs...

Thanks,
