This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: 9066/1: ftrace: pause/unpause function graph tracer in cpu_suspend() to the 4.14-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: arm-9066-1-ftrace-pause-unpause-function-graph-trace.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cedafd5a209fc8e152d88cfba80bdf7c2df8a2ac Author: louis.wang <liang26812@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 24 13:25:53 2021 +0100 ARM: 9066/1: ftrace: pause/unpause function graph tracer in cpu_suspend() [ Upstream commit 8252ca87c7a2111502ee13994956f8c309faad7f ] Enabling function_graph tracer on ARM causes kernel panic, because the function graph tracer updates the "return address" of a function in order to insert a trace callback on function exit, it saves the function's original return address in a return trace stack, but cpu_suspend() may not return through the normal return path. cpu_suspend() will resume directly via the cpu_resume path, but the return trace stack has been set-up by the subfunctions of cpu_suspend(), which makes the "return address" inconsistent with cpu_suspend(). This patch refers to Commit de818bd4522c40ea02a81b387d2fa86f989c9623 ("arm64: kernel: pause/unpause function graph tracer in cpu_suspend()"), fixes the issue by pausing/resuming the function graph tracer on the thread executing cpu_suspend(), so that the function graph tracer state is kept consistent across functions that enter power down states and never return by effectively disabling graph tracer while they are executing.
