ftrace: Do not test frame pointers if -mfentry is used
The function graph has a test to check if the frame pointer is corrupted, which can happen with various options of gcc with mcount. But this is not an issue with -mfentry as -mfentry does not need nor use frame pointers for function graph tracing. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120807194059.773895870@goodmis.org Acked-by: H.
