When enable preempt and ftrace, and perform the following steps, the system will hang: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ echo function_graph > current_tracer
This is because the preempt_disable and preempt_enable calls would cause infinite recursion for some chips which needs the timer erratum workaround and the system will hang, so use the preempt_disable/enable_notrace calls to prevent recursion.
