commit 7e5e26a3d8ac4bcadb380073dc9604c07a9a6198 aka "trace: fix hardirq header for non ftrace archs"


We only need to include the ftrace.h to declare the ftrace_nmi_enter and exit.

I could separate that out into its own "ftrace_irq.h" file, that hardirq.h can include. That should fix it.

basically all that would be needed in that file is this:

#ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
extern void ftrace_nmi_enter(void);
extern void ftrace_nmi_exit(void);
#else
static inline void ftrace_nmi_enter(void) { }
static inline void ftrace_nmi_exit(void) { }
#endif /* CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE */
