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.
