It has been reported that ftrace_replace_code() which is called by ftrace_modify_all_code() can cause a soft lockup warning for an allmodconfig kernel. This is because all the debug options enabled causes the loop in ftrace_replace_code() (which loops over all the functions being enabled where there can be 10s of thousands), is too slow, and never schedules out. To solve this, setting FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP to the command passed into ftrace_replace_code() will make it call cond_resched() in the loop, which prevents the soft lockup warning from triggering.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
