Hi Ralf,


Sub:- Bug  unable to retrive backtrace when HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER is enable.
I send this bug and bug fix long back, I am resending this patch again for
review.

Please review below patch if you agree I will regenerate this patch and
with you.

Testing a backtrace from process context.
The following trace is a kernel self test and not a bug!

get_frame_info() is used to fetch the frame information from the
function.
However,
1. this function just considers the first stack adjustment for frame
size.
2. On finding the save_lr instruction, it returns.
It doesn't handle the ftrace condition.
If Dynamic Frace "CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE" is enabled, the instrumentation
code is:
 - jal <ftrace_caller>
 - addiu sp,sp,-8
Thus, the current Frame Size of function is increased by 8 for Ftrace.
