    ftrace: Do not call stub functions in control loop · 395b97a3
    Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
    The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning
    if the called function is not a control function. This is because
    the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure
    on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of
    functions.
    
    commit 0a016409 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop"
    
    Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize
    for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight
    race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be
    called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we
    get the following dump:
    
    root# perf stat -e ftrace:function sleep 1

    To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end
    ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub. This flag is now checked in the
    control loop and the function is not called if the flag is set.
    
    Thanks to Jovi for not just reporting the bug, but also pointing out
    where the bug was in the code.
