From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 08:07:12 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] function_graph: Use new curr_ret_depth to manage depth instead of curr_ret_stack
Currently, the depth of the ret_stack is determined by curr_ret_stack index. The issue is that there's a race between setting of the curr_ret_stack and calling of the callback attached to the return of the function.
Commit 03274a3ffb44 ("tracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling trace return callback") moved the calling of the callback to after the setting of the curr_ret_stack, even stating that it was safe to do so, when in fact, it was the reason there was a barrier() there (yes, I should have commented that barrier()).
Not only does the curr_ret_stack keep track of the current call graph depth, it also keeps the ret_stack content from being overwritten by new data.
The function profiler, uses the "subtime" variable of ret_stack structure and by moving the curr_ret_stack, it allows for interrupts to use the same structure it was using, corrupting the data, and breaking the profiler.
To fix this, there needs to be two variables to handle the call stack depth and the pointer to where the ret_stack is being used, as they need to change at two different locations.
