As far as I can see, it is:

  [I] home:stable(4)(I)> l1
  commit bebc6082da0a9f5d47a1ea2edc099bf671058bd4 (HEAD, tag: v4.14)
  Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds at linux-foundation.org>
  Date:   Sun Nov 12 10:46:13 2017 -0800
  
      Linux 4.14
  [N] home:stable(4)(N)> grep FUNCTION_GRAPH arch/powerpc/configs/*
  arch/powerpc/configs/powernv_defconfig:CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y
  arch/powerpc/configs/ppc64_defconfig:CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y
  arch/powerpc/configs/pseries_defconfig:CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y


Can you give us more detail. What exact config are you talking about?
What exact version, it's not entirely clear what you mean by 4.14.0.

cheers
