From: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE ftrace_trace_arrays links global_trace.list. However, global_trace is not added to ftrace_trace_arrays if trace_alloc_buffers() failed. As the result, ftrace_trace_arrays becomes an empty list. If ftrace_trace_arrays is an empty list, current top_trace_array() returns an invalid pointer. As the result, the kernel can induce memory corruption or panic. Current implementation does not check whether ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list or not. So, in this patch, if ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list, top_trace_array() returns NULL. Moreover, this patch makes all functions calling top_trace_array() handle it appropriately.
