ftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_opsgrafted
There's some internal state that ftrace_ops needs to have set, but since
it can be declared outside of the ftrace.c code, it calls
ftrace_ops_init() on the ops in every global function. The issue is that
if two tasks call it on the same ops at the same time it is possible to
have the initialization of one corrupt the initialization of the other
call.
Create a ops_mutex to use to synchronize every initialization of the
ftrace_ops. The mutex is taken within checking the ftrace_ops flag that
states it was initializied but the flag is checked again after the mutex
has been taken. Checking first outside the mutex allows it to shortcut
having to take the mutex. But then the check needs to be done again after
the mute is taken in case of races.

A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to + install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a + CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies + first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option + enabled for this to work. + + The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel + ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected + with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 + bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on + bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a + time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in + <file:Documentation/networking/plip.rst>. The cables can be up to + 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows + and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet + driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) + and winsock or NCSA's telnet. + + If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well + as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from + <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
