You can bisect to find out exactly what function is the problem:

cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions > t

f(t) {
num=`wc -l t`
sed -ne "1,${num}p" t > t1
let num=num+1
sed -ne "${num},$p" t > t2

cat t1 > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# note this may take a long time to finish

echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer

<failed? bisect f(t1), if not bisect f(t2)>
}
