[PATCH v3] ftrace/selftest: Test combination of function_graph tracer and function profiler

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Masami reported a bug when running function graph tracing then the
function profiler. The following commands would cause a kernel crash:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # echo function_graph > current_tracer
  # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled

In that order. Create a test to test this two to make sure this does not
come back as a regression.

Thank you. Applied to linux-kselftest fixes for next rc.

thanks,
