Hi Pratyush,

Hmm, kconfig enables 'CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT' if we select KPROBES and FTRACE, this
calls save_stack_trace_regs(), which we haven't implemented, giving:
[  373.406982] save_stack_trace_regs() not implemented yet.

I guess hitting a WARN_ONCE() while using a 'kernel hacking' feature isn't
serious enough to make this a fix.

What happens when a kprobe-event runs over a frame the function graph tracer has
meddled with? You need:

#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
	frame.graph = current->curr_ret_stack;
#endif
