From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 12:40:25 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] function_graph: Reverse the order of pushing the ret_stack and the callback
The function graph profiler uses the ret_stack to store the "subtime" and reuse it by nested functions and also on the return. But the current logic has the profiler callback called before the ret_stack is updated, and it is just modifying the ret_stack that will later be allocated (it's just lucky that the "subtime" is not touched when it is allocated).
This could also cause a crash if we are at the end of the ret_stack when this happens.
By reversing the order of the allocating the ret_stack and then calling the callbacks attached to a function being traced, the ret_stack entry is no longer used before it is allocated.
