ftrace will patch instructions in sbi_send_cpumask_ipi, which is going to
be used by flush_icache_range, leading to potential races and crashes like
this:

flush_icache_range doesn't invoke sbi_send_cpumask_ipi.
flush_icache_range->flush_icache_all->sbi_remote_fence_i->__sbi_rfence->sbi_ecall

Moreover, sbi.c should be removed from ftrace path as it is compiled
with notrace flag after the patch [1]

CFLAGS_REMOVE_sbi.o   = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)

This solution was proposed as a result of earlier discussion [2] last year.

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/patch/1608220905-1962-5-git-send-email-guoren@kernel.org/
[2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/11/3/735

The proposed fix probably hiding the root cause somehow.

Do you have the patch[1] in your kernel ?

We do not. I have applied and tested it, and indeed it resolves the
boot issue too. And it does make a lot more sense. I see that it and
its prereq patch did not have CC: stable on them. I will submit them
to stable, as they are required to have bootable kernels. Thanks a lot
for the pointers.

So this patch that I sent is NACKed now.
