ftrace: make ftrace_test_p6nop disassembler-friendly
Commit 4c3dc21b136f8cb4b72afee16c3ba7e961656c0b in tip introduced the 5-byte NOP ftrace_test_p6nop: jmp . + 5 .byte 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 This is not friendly to disassemblers because an odd number of 0x00s ends in the middle of an instruction boundary. This changes the 0x00s to 1-byte NOPs (0x90). Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
