Linus Torvalds 06526daaff ftrace: A couple of fixes to function graph infrastructure
- 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.
