When running with ftrace function enabled, we observed panic
as below:

kernel/events/Makefile has:

ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
CFLAGS_REMOVE_core.o = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
endif

Which, afaict, should avoid the above, no?

I'm afraid it's not working for this case, the
start point of tracing is at lock_acquire() which
is not from 'kernel/events/core', the following PF
related function are also not from 'core', prevent
ftrace on 'core' can't prevent this from happen...

By a second thinking, I think you're right about the
way it should be fixed, since disabling ftrace on
'arch/x86/mm/fault.c' could also fix the problem.

Will send a formal patch later :-)
