From: Shu Wang The trampoline allocated by function tracer was overwriten by function_graph tracer, and caused a memory leak. The save_global_trampoline should have saved the previous trampoline in register_ftrace_graph() and restored it in unregister_ftrace_graph(). But as it is implemented, save_global_trampoline was only used in unregister_ftrace_graph as default value 0, and it overwrote the previous trampoline's value. Causing the previous allocated trampoline to be lost. kmmeleak backtrace: kmemleak_vmalloc+0x77/0xc0 __vmalloc_node_range+0x1b5/0x2c0 module_alloc+0x7c/0xd0 arch_ftrace_update_trampoline+0xb5/0x290 ftrace_startup+0x78/0x210 register_ftrace_function+0x8b/0xd0 function_trace_init+0x4f/0x80 tracing_set_tracer+0xe6/0x170 tracing_set_trace_write+0x90/0xd0 __vfs_write+0x37/0x170 vfs_write+0xb2/0x1b0 SyS_write+0x55/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x67/0x180 return_from_SYSCALL_64+0x0/0x6a [ Looking further into this, I found that this was left over from when the function and function graph tracers shared the same ftrace_ops. But in commit 5f151b2401 ("ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together"), the two were separated, and the save_global_trampoline no longer was necessary (and it may have been broken back then too). -- Steven Rostedt ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170912021454.5976-1-shuwang@redhat.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 5f151b2401 ("ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together") Signed-off-by: Shu Wang Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) --- kernel/trace/ftrace.c | 14 -------------- 1 file changed, 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c index 6abfafd7f173..8319e09e15b9 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c @@ -4954,9 +4954,6 @@ static char ftrace_graph_buf[FTRACE_FILTER_SIZE] __initdata; static char ftrace_graph_notrace_buf[FTRACE_FILTER_SIZE] __initdata; static int ftrace_graph_set_hash(struct ftrace_hash *hash, char *buffer); -static unsigned long save_global_trampoline; -static unsigned long save_global_flags; - static int __init set_graph_function(char *str) { strlcpy(ftrace_graph_buf, str, FTRACE_FILTER_SIZE); @@ -6808,17 +6805,6 @@ void unregister_ftrace_graph(void) unregister_pm_notifier(&ftrace_suspend_notifier); unregister_trace_sched_switch(ftrace_graph_probe_sched_switch, NULL); -#ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE - /* - * Function graph does not allocate the trampoline, but - * other global_ops do.
