      WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 774 at /build/linux-ROBWaj/linux-4.9.13/kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:233 ftrace_return_to_handler+0x1aa/0x1e0
      Bad frame pointer: expected f6919d98, received f6919db0
        from func acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake return to c43b6f9d
    
    The warning means that function graph tracing is broken for the
    acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake() function.  That's because the ACPI Makefile
    unconditionally sets the '-Os' gcc flag to optimize for size.  That's an
    issue because mcount-based function graph tracing is incompatible with
    '-Os' on x86, thanks to the following gcc bug:
    
      https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42109
    
    I have another patch pending which will ensure that mcount-based
    function graph tracing is never used with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE on
    x86.
    
    But this patch is needed in addition to that one because the ACPI
    Makefile overrides that config option for no apparent reason.  It has
    had this flag since the beginning of git history, and there's no related
    comment, so I don't know why it's there.  As far as I can tell, there's
    no reason for it to be there.  The appropriate behavior is for it to
    honor CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_{SIZE,PERFORMANCE} like the rest of the
    kernel.
