ftrace: fix race in function graph during fork
Impact: graph tracer race/crash fix
There is a nasy race in startup of a new process running the
function graph tracer. In fork.c:
total_forks++;
spin_unlock(¤t->sighand->siglock);
write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock);
ftrace_graph_init_task(p);
proc_fork_connector(p);
cgroup_post_fork(p);
return p;
The new task is free to run as soon as the tasklist_lock is released.
This is before the ftrace_graph_init_task. If the task does run
it will be using the same ret_stack and curr_ret_stack as the parent.
This will cause crashes that are difficult to debug.
This patch moves the ftrace_graph_init_task to just after the alloc_pid
code. This fixes the above race.
