The corresponding code is
----
ret = ftrace_set_filter_ip(&kprobe_ftrace_ops,
(unsigned long)p->addr, 0, 0);
WARN(ret < 0, "Failed to arm kprobe-ftrace at %p (%d)\n", p->addr, ret);
----

-19 is -ENODEV, and it may be returned from ftrace_set_hash
(ftrace_set_filter_ip -> ftrace_set_addr -> ftrace_set_hash)

----
static int
ftrace_set_hash(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned char *buf, int len,
unsigned long ip, int remove, int reset, int enable)
{
struct ftrace_hash **orig_hash;
struct ftrace_ops_hash old_hash_ops;
struct ftrace_hash *old_hash;
struct ftrace_hash *hash;
int ret;

if (unlikely(ftrace_disabled))
return -ENODEV;
----

the ftrace_disabled (I think it would better be renamed to ftrace_died...) is
set only if an unrecoverable error happened. So before this message you'll
see some other error messages.

Thank you,
