powerpc/kprobes: Pause function_graph tracing during jprobes handling
commit a9f8553e935f26cb5447f67e280946b0923cd2dc upstream. This fixes a crash when function_graph and jprobes are used together. This is essentially commit 237d28db036e ("ftrace/jprobes/x86: Fix conflict between jprobes and function graph tracing"), but for powerpc. Jprobes breaks function_graph tracing since the jprobe hook needs to use jprobe_return(), which never returns back to the hook, but instead to the original jprobe'd function. The solution is to momentarily pause function_graph tracing before invoking the jprobe hook and re-enable it when returning back to the original jprobe'd function. Fixes: 6794c78243bf ("powerpc64: port of the function graph tracer") Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
