The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that were registered within it (like function and function graph), which itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing. The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time. This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile. The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not cause a kernel oops). To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still share the hash, which is what is done. Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile is active.
