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.
