function-graph: enable the stack after initialization of other variables
The function graph tracer checks if the task_struct has ret_stack defined to know if it is OK or not to use it. The initialization is done for all tasks by one process, but the idle tasks use the same initialization used by new tasks. If an interrupt happens on an idle task that just had the ret_stack created, but before the rest of the initialization took place, then we can corrupt the return address of the functions. This patch moves the setting of the task_struct's ret_stack to after the other variables have been initialized. [ Impact: prevent kernel panic on idle task when starting function graph ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
