If you drop into kdb and type "ftdump" you'll get a sleeping while
atomic warning from memory allocation in trace_find_next_entry().
This appears to have been caused by commit ff895103a84a ("tracing:
Save off entry when peeking at next entry"), which added the
allocation in that path. The problematic commit was already fixed by
commit 8e99cf91b99b ("tracing: Do not allocate buffer in
trace_find_next_entry() in atomic") but that fix missed the kdb case.
The fix here is easy: just move the assignment of the static buffer to
the place where it should have been to begin with:
trace_init_global_iter(). That function is called in two places, once
is right before the assignment of the static buffer added by the
previous fix and once is in kdb.
Note that it appears that there's a second static buffer that we need
to assign that was added in commit efbbdaa22bb7 ("tracing: Show real
address for trace event arguments"), so we'll move that too.

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.
