Danilo Cezar Zanella reported broken function graph tracer in the v4.19 tree. This was caused by the backport of commit f9b58e8c7d031 ("ARM: 8800/1: use choice for kernel unwinders")
which ended in the v4.19-stable tree as of v4.19.222. It is also part of v4.14-stable since v4.14.259. It is also part of v4.9-stable since v4.9.299.

From: Russell King rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 17:09:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fix function graph tracer and unwinder dependencies
Upstream commit 503621628b32782a07b2318e4112bd4372aa3401
Naresh Kamboju recently reported that the function-graph tracer crashes on ARM. The function-graph tracer assumes that the kernel is built with frame pointers.
We explicitly disabled the function-graph tracer when building Thumb2, since the Thumb2 ABI doesn't have frame pointers.
We recently changed the way the unwinder method was selected, which seems to have made it more likely that we can end up with the function- graph tracer enabled but without the kernel built with frame pointers.
Fix up the function graph tracer dependencies so the option is not available when we have no possibility of having frame pointers, and adjust the dependencies on the unwinder option to hide the non-frame pointer unwinder options if the function-graph tracer is enabled.
