Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"While rewriting the function graph tracer, I discovered a design flaw
that was introduced by a patch that tried to fix one bug, but by doing
so created another bug.
As both bugs corrupt the output (but they do not crash the kernel), I
decided to fix the design such that it could have both bugs fixed. The
original fix, fixed time reporting of the function graph tracer when
doing a max_depth of one. This was code that can test how much the
kernel interferes with userspace. But in doing so, it could corrupt
the time keeping of the function profiler.
The issue is that the curr_ret_stack variable was being used for two
different meanings. One was to keep track of the stack pointer on the
ret_stack (shadow stack used by the function graph tracer), and the
other use case was the graph call depth. Although, the two may be
closely related, where they got updated was the issue that lead to the
two different bugs that required the two use cases to be updated
differently.
The big issue with this fix is that it requires changing each
architecture. The good news is, I was able to remove a lot of code
that was duplicated within the architectures and place it into a
single location. Then I could make the fix in one place.
I pushed this code into linux-next to let it settle over a week, and
before doing so, I cross compiled all the affected architectures to
make sure that they built fine.
In the mean time, I also pulled in a patch that fixes the sched_switch
previous tasks state output, that was not actually correct"
