microblaze: Fix ftrace_update_ftrace_func panic
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The Microblaze dynamic ftrace code assumes a call ordering that is not met
in all scenarios. Specifically, executing a command similar to:

  echo 105 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid

before any other tracing-related commands results in a kernel panic:

  BUG: failure at arch/microblaze/kernel/ftrace.c:198/ftrace_update_ftrace_func()!

Recoding ftrace_update_ftrace_func() to use &ftrace_caller directly eliminates
the need to capture its address elsewhere (and thus rely on a particular call
sequence).
