Hi,
I was looking at your website.
I found some errors on your website.
We can place your website on the first page of Google. yahoo etc.
Can I send you a quote and errors? if interested.
I am waiting for your reply
Thank you.

The function tracer should record the preemption level at the point when
the function is invoked. If the tracing subsystem decrement the
preemption counter it needs to correct this before feeding the data into
the trace buffer. This was broken in the commit cited below while
shifting the preempt-disabled section.
Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() which properly subtracts one from the
preemption counter on a preemptible kernel.

2.47.2
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt(a)goodmis.org>
When adding a new fprobe, it will update the function hash to the
functions the fprobe is attached to and register with function graph to
have it call the registered functions. The fprobe_graph_active variable
keeps track of the number of fprobes that are using function graph.
If two fprobes attach to the same function, it increments the
fprobe_graph_active for each of them. But when they are removed, the first
fprobe to be removed will see that the function it is attached to is also
used by another fprobe and it will not remove that function from
function_graph. The logic will skip decrementing the fprobe_graph_active
variable.
This causes the fprobe_graph_active variable to not go to zero when all
fprobes are removed, and in doing so it does not unregister from
function graph. As the fgraph ops hash will now be empty, and an empty
filter hash means all functions are enabled, this triggers function graph
to add a callback to the fprobe infrastructure for every function!

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt(a)goodmis.org>
When the last fprobe is removed, it calls unregister_ftrace_graph() to
remove the graph_ops from function graph. The issue is when it does so, it
calls return before removing the function from its graph ops via
ftrace_set_filter_ips(). This leaves the last function lingering in the
fprobe's fgraph ops and if a probe is added it also enables that last
function (even though the callback will just drop it, it does add unneeded
overhead to make that call).

The above enabled a fprobe on kernel_clone, and then on schedule_timeout.
The content of the enabled_functions shows the functions that have a
callback attached to them. The fprobe attached to those functions
properly. Then the fprobes were cleared, and enabled_functions was empty
after that. But after adding a fprobe on kmem_cache_free, the
enabled_functions shows that the schedule_timeout was attached again. This
is because it was still left in the fprobe ops that is used to tell
function graph what functions it wants callbacks from.

Check if a function is already in the manager ops of a subops. A manager
ops contains multiple subops, and if two or more subops are tracing the
same function, the manager ops only needs a single entry in its hash.

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt(a)goodmis.org>
Function graph uses a subops and manager ops mechanism to attach to
ftrace. The manager ops connects to ftrace and the functions it connects
to is defined by a list of subops that it manages.
The function hash that defines what the above ops attaches to limits the
functions to attach if the hash has any content. If the hash is empty, it
means to trace all functions.
The creation of the manager ops hash is done by iterating over all the
subops hashes. If any of the subops hashes is empty, it means that the
manager ops hash must trace all functions as well.
The issue is in the creation of the manager ops. When a second subops is
attached, a new hash is created by starting it as NULL and adding the
subops one at a time. But the NULL ops is mistaken as an empty hash, and
once an empty hash is found, it stops the loop of subops and just enables
all functions.

Fix this by initializing the new hash to NULL and if the hash is NULL do
not treat it as an empty hash but instead allocate by copying the content
of the first sub ops. Then on subsequent iterations, the new hash will not
be NULL, but the content of the previous subops. If that first subops
attached to all functions, then new hash may assume that the manager ops
also needs to attach to all functions.
