commit 7e0a9220467dbcfdc5bc62825724f3e52e50ab31 upstream.
On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend()
will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in
bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being
modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic
counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph
tracer will not modify the return address.
The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the
function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle
task if it is suspended in these architectures.
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
do_idle()
cpu_suspend()
pause_graph_tracing()
task_struct->tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -> 1)
start_graph_tracing()
for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu)
task-struct->tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -> 0)
unpause_graph_tracing()
task_struct->tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -> -1)
The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph
tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled.
There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can
not be initialized at boot up.
