I noticed that there's only one user of ftrace_arch_read_dyn_info(). That was used a while ago during the NMI updating in x86, and superh copied it to implement its version of handling NMIs during stop_machine(). But that is a debug feature, and this code hasn't been touched since 2009. Also, x86 no longer does the ftrace updates with stop_machine() and instead uses breakpoints. If superh needs to modify its code, it should implement the breakpoint conversion, and remove stop_machine(). Which also gets rid of the NMI issue. Anyway, I want to nuke ftrace_arch_read_dyn_info() and this gets rid of the one user, which is for an arch that shouldn't need it anymore.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
