Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] fprobe: Always unregister fgraph function from ops

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

When the last fprobe is removed, it calls unregister_ftrace_graph() to
remove the graph_ops from function graph. The issue is when it does so, it
calls return before removing the function from its graph ops via
ftrace_set_filter_ips(). This leaves the last function lingering in the
fprobe's fgraph ops and if a probe is added it also enables that last
function (even though the callback will just drop it, it does add unneeded
overhead to make that call).

  # echo "f:myevent1 kernel_clone" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions
kernel_clone (1)           	tramp: 0xffffffffc02f3000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60

  # echo "f:myevent2 schedule_timeout" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions
kernel_clone (1)           	tramp: 0xffffffffc02f3000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60
schedule_timeout (1)           	tramp: 0xffffffffc02f3000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60

  # > /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions

  # echo "f:myevent3 kmem_cache_free" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions
kmem_cache_free (1)           	tramp: 0xffffffffc0219000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60
schedule_timeout (1)           	tramp: 0xffffffffc0219000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60

The above enabled a fprobe on kernel_clone, and then on schedule_timeout.
The content of the enabled_functions shows the functions that have a
callback attached to them. The fprobe attached to those functions
properly. Then the fprobes were cleared, and enabled_functions was empty
after that. But after adding a fprobe on kmem_cache_free, the
enabled_functions shows that the schedule_timeout was attached again. This
is because it was still left in the fprobe ops that is used to tell
function graph what functions it wants callbacks from.
