Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix a race in function profile
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:50:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C723644.4040708@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
While we are reading trace_stat/functionX and someone just
disabled function_profile at that time, we can trigger this:
divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
EIP is at function_stat_show+0x90/0x230
...
This fix just takes the ftrace_profile_lock and checks if
rec->counter is 0. If it's 0, we know the profile buffer
has been reset.
