4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit edb096e00724f02db5f6ec7900f3bbd465c6c76f upstream. If function tracing is disabled by the user via the function-trace option or the proc sysctl file, and a ftrace_ops that was allocated on the heap is unregistered, then the shutdown code exits out without doing the proper clean up. This was found via kmemleak and running the ftrace selftests, as one of the tests unregisters with function tracing disabled. # cat kmemleak unreferenced object 0xffffffffa0020000 (size 4096): comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294668889 (age 569.209s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 55 ff 74 24 10 55 48 89 e5 ff 74 24 18 55 48 89 U.t$.UH...t$.UH. e5 48 81 ec a8 00 00 00 48 89 44 24 50 48 89 4c .H......H.D$PH.L backtrace: [<ffffffff81d64665>] kmemleak_vmalloc+0x85/0xf0 [<ffffffff81355631>] __vmalloc_node_range+0x281/0x3e0 [<ffffffff8109697f>] module_alloc+0x4f/0x90 [<ffffffff81091170>] arch_ftrace_update_trampoline+0x160/0x420 [<ffffffff81249947>] ftrace_startup+0xe7/0x300 [<ffffffff81249bd2>] register_ftrace_function+0x72/0x90 [<ffffffff81263786>] trace_selftest_ops+0x204/0x397 [<ffffffff82bb8971>] trace_selftest_startup_function+0x394/0x624 [<ffffffff81263a75>] run_tracer_selftest+0x15c/0x1d7 [<ffffffff82bb83f1>] init_trace_selftests+0x75/0x192 [<ffffffff81002230>] do_one_initcall+0x90/0x1e2 [<ffffffff82b7d620>] kernel_init_freeable+0x350/0x3fe [<ffffffff81d61ec3>] kernel_init+0x13/0x122 [<ffffffff81d72c6a>] ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Fixes: 12cce594fa ("ftrace/x86: Allow !CONFIG_PREEMPT dynamic ops to use allocated trampolines") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/trace/ftrace.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --- a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c @@ -2667,13 +2667,14 @@ static int ftrace_shutdown(struct ftrace if (!command || !ftrace_enabled) { /* - * If these are control ops, they still need their - * per_cpu field freed.
