Subject: [for-linus v2][PATCH 1/2] fgraph: Still initialize idle shadow stacks when starting

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

A bug was discovered where the idle shadow stacks were not initialized
for offline CPUs when starting function graph tracer, and when they came
online they were not traced due to the missing shadow stack. To fix
this, the idle task shadow stack initialization was moved to using the
CPU hotplug callbacks. But it removed the initialization when the
function graph was enabled. The problem here is that the hotplug
callbacks are called when the CPUs come online, but the idle shadow
stack initialization only happens if function graph is currently
active. This caused the online CPUs to not get their shadow stack
initialized.

The idle shadow stack initialization still needs to be done when the
function graph is registered, as they will not be allocated if function
graph is not registered.
