commit1503538843upstream. When running function tracing on a Linux guest running on VMware Workstation, the guest would crash. This is due to tracing of the sched_clock internal call of the VMware vmware_sched_clock(), which causes an infinite recursion within the tracing code (clock calls must not be traced). Make vmware_sched_clock() not traced by ftrace.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
