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. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
