Thanks Ingo, that would have taken me a while to work out.

yeah, i figured i'd be the better candidate to debug ftrace related 
problems ;-)

Presumably that means that xen/smp.o should also be built without -pg.  
In fact, should I move the spinlock code into its own file, so that 
ftrace can cover as much as it can?

hm, yeah. Anything that can be called via the lowest level spinlock 
functions should be either notrace, or, better, in a -pg-excluded .o 
file. Putting it all into a separate file would cover it nicely i think.
