[PATCH 3.16 268/357] ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Oct 03 2014 - 19:45:05 EST


3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5f151b240192a1557119d5375af71efc26825bc8 upstream.

The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of
the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them
share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing
the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func
would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that
were registered within it (like function and function graph), which
itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions
currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented
it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing.

The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function
and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time.
This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the
function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile.
The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function
tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace
will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not
cause a kernel oops).

To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables
for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let
multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function
and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still
share the hash, which is what is done.

Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops
again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile
is active.
