# of undefined(test bug): 0
not ok 1..1 selftests: ftrace: ftracetest [FAIL]

However it can pass with the upstream tree:
# [28] ftrace - Max stack tracer [PASS]
# [29] ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [PASS]
# [30] ftrace - test tracing error log support [FAIL]
# [31] Test creation and deletion of trace instances while setting an event [PASS]
# [32] Test creation and deletion of trace instances [PASS]

So it looks like a test case issue from this point.
