Debugging in the kernel has started slowing down the kernel by a noticeable amount. The ftrace start up tests are triggering the softlockup watchdog on some boxes. This is caused by the start up tests that enable function and function graph tracing several times. Sprinkling cond_resched() just in the start up test code was not enough to stop the softlockup from triggering. It would sometimes trigger in the text_poke_bp_batch() code. When function tracing enables all functions, it will call text_poke_queue() to queue the places that need to be patched. Every 256 entries will do a "flush" that calls text_poke_bp_batch() to do the update of the 256 locations. As this is in a scheduleable context, calling cond_resched() at the start of text_poke_bp_batch() will ensure that other tasks could get a chance to run while the patching is happening. This keeps the softlockup from triggering in the start up tests.

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.
