ftrace/x86_32: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it
With new binutils, gcc may get smart with its optimization and change a jmp from a 5 byte jump to a 2 byte one even though it was jumping to a global function. But that global function existed within a 2 byte radius, and gcc was able to optimize it. Unfortunately, that jump was also being modified when function graph tracing begins. Since ftrace expected that jump to be 5 bytes, but it was only two, it overwrote code after the jump, causing a crash. This was fixed for x86_64 with commit8329e818f1
, with the same subject as this commit, but nothing was done for x86_32. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes:d61f82d066
