[PATCH 05/20] ftrace: Fix dynamic selftest failure on some archs

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Archs that do not implement CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST, will
fail the dynamic ftrace selftest.

The function tracer has a quick 'off' variable that will prevent
the call back functions from being called. This variable is called
function_trace_stop. In x86, this is implemented directly in the mcount
assembly, but for other archs, an intermediate function is used called
ftrace_test_stop_func().

In dynamic ftrace, the function pointer variable ftrace_trace_function is
used to update the caller code in the mcount caller. But for archs that
do not have CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST set, it only calls
ftrace_test_stop_func() instead, which in turn calls __ftrace_trace_function.

When more than one ftrace_ops is registered, the function it calls is
ftrace_ops_list_func(), which will iterate over all registered ftrace_ops
and call the callbacks that have their hash matching.

The issue happens when two ftrace_ops are registered for different functions
and one is then unregistered. The __ftrace_trace_function is then pointed
to the remaining ftrace_ops callback function directly. This mean it will
be called for all functions that were registered to trace by both ftrace_ops
that were registered.

This is not an issue for archs with CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST,
because the update of ftrace_trace_function doesn't happen until after all
functions have been updated, and then the mcount caller is updated. But
for those archs that do use the ftrace_test_stop_func(), the update is
immediate.

The dynamic selftest fails because it hits this situation, and the
ftrace_ops that it registers fails to only trace what it was suppose to
and instead traces all other functions.

The solution is to delay the setting of __ftrace_trace_function until
after all the functions have been updated according to the registered
ftrace_ops. Also, function_trace_stop is set during the update to prevent
function tracing from calling code that is caused by the function tracer
itself.
