Subject: function-graph: Init curr_ret_stack with ret_stack
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34-rc2~52^2~3
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ea14eb714041d40fcc5180b5a586034503650149;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-stable.git

function-graph: Init curr_ret_stack with ret_stack

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.
