Subject: [PATCH] fgraph: Allocate ret_stack_list with proper size
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 21:52:12 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241018215212.23f13f40@rorschach> (raw)
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The ret_stack_list is an array of ret_stack shadow stacks for the function
graph usage. When the first function graph is enabled, all tasks in the
system get a shadow stack. The ret_stack_list is a 32 element array of
pointers to these shadow stacks. It allocates the shadow stack in batches
(32 stacks at a time), assigns them to running tasks, and continues until
all tasks are covered.
When the function graph shadow stack changed from an array of
ftrace_ret_stack structures to an array of longs, the allocation of
ret_stack_list went from allocating an array of 32 elements to just a
block defined by SHADOW_STACK_SIZE. Luckily, that's defined as PAGE_SIZE
and is much more than enough to hold 32 pointers. But it is way overkill
for the amount needed to allocate.
Change the allocation of ret_stack_list back to a kcalloc() of
FTRACE_RETSTACK_ALLOC_SIZE pointers.
Fixes: 42675b723b484 ("function_graph: Convert ret_stack to a series of longs")
