Linus Torvalds 452938cbd8 Masami found an off by one bug in the code that keeps "notrace" functions
from being traced by kprobes. During my testing, I found that there's places
 that we may want to add kprobes to notrace, thus we may end up changing this
 code before 4.19 is released. The history behind this change is that we
 found that adding kprobes to various notrace functions caused the kernel to
 crashed. We took the safe route and decided not to allow kprobes to trace
 any notrace function. But because notrace is added to functions that just
 cause weird side effects to the function tracer, but are still safe,
 preventing kprobes for all notrace functios may be too much of a big hammer.
 One such place is __schedule() is marked notrace, to keep function tracer
 from doing strange recursive loops when it gets traced with NEED_RESCHED
 set. With this change, one can not add kprobes to the scheduler.
 
 Masami also added code to use gcov on ftrace.
