This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/ftrace: fix potential crashes when switching tracers to the 5.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: s390-ftrace-fix-potential-crashes-when-switching-tracers.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 8ebf6da9db1b2a20bb86cc1bee2552e894d03308 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philipp Rudo <prudo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2020 14:47:48 +0200 Subject: s390/ftrace: fix potential crashes when switching tracers From: Philipp Rudo <prudo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8ebf6da9db1b2a20bb86cc1bee2552e894d03308 upstream. Switching tracers include instruction patching. To prevent that a instruction is patched while it's read the instruction patching is done in stop_machine 'context'. This also means that any function called during stop_machine must not be traced. Thus add 'notrace' to all functions called within stop_machine.
