Shu Wang 2b0b8499ae ftrace: Fix kmemleak in unregister_ftrace_graph
The trampoline allocated by function tracer was overwriten by function_graph
tracer, and caused a memory leak. The save_global_trampoline should have
saved the previous trampoline in register_ftrace_graph() and restored it in
unregister_ftrace_graph(). But as it is implemented, save_global_trampoline was
only used in unregister_ftrace_graph as default value 0, and it overwrote the
previous trampoline's value. Causing the previous allocated trampoline to be
lost.

  Looking further into this, I found that this was left over from when the
  function and function graph tracers shared the same ftrace_ops. But in
  commit 5f151b2401 ("ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer
  together"), the two were separated, and the save_global_trampoline no
  longer was necessary (and it may have been broken back then too).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
