powerpc/ftrace: Do not trace restore_interrupts()
As I was adding code that affects all archs, I started testing function tracer against PPC64 and found that it currently locks up with 3.4 kernel. I figured it was due to tracing a function that shouldn't be, so I went through the following process to bisect to find the culprit: cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions > t num=`wc -l t` sed -ne "1,${num}p" t > t1 let num=num+1 sed -ne "${num},$p" t > t2 cat t1 > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo function /debug/tracing/current_tracer <failed? bisect t1, if not bisect t2> It finally came down to this function: restore_interrupts() I'm not sure why this locks up the system. It just seems to prevent scheduling from occurring. Interrupts seem to still work, as I can ping the box. But all user processes freeze. When restore_interrupts() is not traced, function tracing works fine.
