[for-next][PATCH 2/7] ftrace/graph: Do not modify the EMPTY_HASH for the function_graph filter

[Steven Rostedt]

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

On boot up, if the kernel command line sets a graph funtion with the kernel
command line options "ftrace_graph_filter" or "ftrace_graph_notrace" then it
updates the corresponding function graph hash, ftrace_graph_hash or
ftrace_graph_notrace_hash respectively. Unfortunately, at boot up, these
variables are pointers to the "EMPTY_HASH" which is a constant used as a
placeholder when a hash has no entities. The problem was that the comand
line version to set the hashes updated the actual EMPTY_HASH instead of
creating a new hash for the function graph. This broke the EMPTY_HASH
because not only did it modify a constant (not sure how that was allowed to
happen, except maybe because it was done at early boot, const variables were
still mutable), but it made the filters have functions listed in them when
they were actually empty.

The kernel command line function needs to allocate a new hash for the
function graph filters and assign the necessary variables to that new hash
instead.
