[ Upstream commit 698b851073ddf5a894910d63ca04605e0473414e ]
When ftrace is used with kprobes, it is possible for a kprobe to contain an invalid location (ie. only initialised to 0 and not to a specific location in the code). Trying to perform a cache flush on such location leads to a crash r4k_flush_icache_range().
