[PATCH] remove ftrace filter

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue May 04 2021 - 02:09:50 EST


Functions in the .opd section on ppc64 are currently ignored as they
don't contain mcount calls -- they are excluded by the ftrace filter.
Therefore, pahole cannot produce a .BTF section from vmlinux and kernel
build fails on ppc64.

Remove the ftrace filter completely as was discussed:
