Subject: [PATCH 2/5] function-graph: Init curr_ret_stack with ret_stack
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:56:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100313025854.558236650@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100313025655.104950166@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: 0002-function-graph-Init-curr_ret_stack-with-ret_stack.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1362 bytes --]
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
If the graph tracer is active, and a task is forked but the allocating of
the processes graph stack fails, it can cause crash later on.
This is due to the temporary stack being NULL, but the curr_ret_stack
variable is copied from the parent. If it is not -1, then in
ftrace_graph_probe_sched_switch() the following:
for (index = next->curr_ret_stack; index >= 0; index--)
next->ret_stack[index].calltime += timestamp;
Will cause a kernel OOPS.
Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.
