- Fix allocation of idle shadow stack allocation during hotplug
If function graph tracing is started when a CPU is offline, if it were
come online during the trace then the idle task that represents the CPU
will not get a shadow stack allocated for it. This means all function
graph hooks that happen while that idle task is running (including in
interrupt mode) will have all its events dropped.
Switch over to the CPU hotplug mechanism that will have any newly
brought on line CPU get a callback that can allocate the shadow stack
for its idle task.
- Fix allocation size of the ret_stack_list array
When function graph tracing converted over to allowing more than one
user at a time, it had to convert its shadow stack from an array of
ret_stack structures to an array of unsigned longs. The shadow stacks
are allocated in batches of 32 at a time and assigned to every running
task. The batch is held by the ret_stack_list array. But when the
conversion happened, instead of allocating an array of 32 pointers, it
was allocated as a ret_stack itself (PAGE_SIZE). This ret_stack_list
gets passed to a function that iterates over what it believes is its
size defined by the FTRACE_RETSTACK_ALLOC_SIZE macro (which is 32).
Luckily (PAGE_SIZE) is greater than 32 * sizeof(long), otherwise this
would have been an array overflow. This still should be fixed and the
ret_stack_list should be allocated to the size it is expected to be as
someday it may end up being bigger than SHADOW_STACK_SIZE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
