-"What makes this interesting (and is the reason this doesn't fail
- normally) is that these functions are all called within kernel_init, so
- the __ro_after_init attribute shouldn't have caused the variable to be
- read-only yet."

-When ftrace starts, it needs to set the kernel text to write, and when
-it finishes it sets it back to readonly. But the kernel is not set to
-readonly at boot up.
-
-Can you test this patch? (Warning, I didn't even compile test it)
