From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2020 09:20:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.
