[PATCH v2] selftests/ftrace: Add test to exercize function tracer across cpu hotplug

From: Naveen N Rao
Date: Wed Dec 13 2023 - 06:44:40 EST


Add a test to exercize cpu hotplug with the function tracer active to
ensure that sensitive functions in idle path are excluded from being
traced. This helps catch issues such as the one fixed by commit
4b3338aaa74d ("powerpc/ftrace: Fix stack teardown in ftrace_no_trace").

v2: Add a check for next available online cpu, as suggested by Masami.
