The PREEMPT_RT patchset does not use soft IRQs thus trying to filter for do_softirq fails for such kernel:
echo do_softirq ftracetest: 81: echo: echo: I/O error
Choose some other visible function for the test.

Changes since v1: 1. Use scheduler_tick. 2. Add review tag.
Notes: I understand that the failure does not exist on mainline kernel (only with PREEMPT_RT patchset) but the change does not harm it.
If it is not suitable alone, please consider it for RT patchset. --- .../selftests/ftrace/test.d/ftrace/func_set_ftrace_file.tc | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
