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?
My Fault. Helge asked me whether this patch should be added to 5.2 stable, and i said "yes", assuming that DYNAMIC_FTRACE for PA-RISC is already in Linux-5.2, which isn't the case. It got merged in 5.3.
Greg, It's actually my fault. I did asked Sven, but usually I do test if the patches apply cleanly too. So either I did missed that testing for this patch, or something else must have been wrong on my side. Sorry for that. Helge
