The patch below does not apply to the 5.2-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

The reason is that 5.2 doesn't have DYNAMIC_FTRACE suport, so this can be ignored.

Then why did the patch have: Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.2+ in it?

confused,
