[PATCH] stop_machine: Mark functions as notrace

[Guo Ren]

Hi Zong & Atish,

In our 2 harts c910 chip, we found:

echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

Then one core halted at stop_machine_yield:
arch_cpu_idle () at arch/riscv/kernel/process.c:39
39              local_irq_enable();
(gdb) i th

(cpumask=0xffffffe001371fa8 <__cpu_online_mask>) at
./arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso/processor.h:12
(gdb) thread 2

12              __asm__ __volatile__ ("div %0, %0, zero" : "=r" (dummy));

With your patch, it's solved. For this patch, I'll give:

But that's not enough, we still need:
