ftrace: Fix memleak when unregistering dynamic ops when tracing disabled
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 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 12cce594fa ("ftrace/x86: Allow !CONFIG_PREEMPT dynamic ops to use allocated trampolines") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
