From 15035388439f892017d38b05214d3cda6578af64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2018 15:22:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpu/vmware: Do not trace vmware_sched_clock() When running function tracing on a Linux guest running on VMware Workstation, the guest would crash. This is due to tracing of the sched_clock internal call of the VMware vmware_sched_clock(), which causes an infinite recursion within the tracing code (clock calls must not be traced). Make vmware_sched_clock() not traced by ftrace.
