ftrace/x86: Implement HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR
Use the more reliable version of ftrace_graph_ret_addr() so we no longer have to worry about the unwinder getting out of sync with the function graph ret_stack index, which can happen if the unwinder skips any frames before calling ftrace_graph_ret_addr(). This fixes this issue (and several others like it): $ cat /proc/self/stack [<ffffffff810489a2>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x22/0x40 [<ffffffff81311a89>] proc_pid_stack+0xb9/0x110 [<ffffffff813127c4>] proc_single_show+0x54/0x80 [<ffffffff812be088>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0 [<ffffffff812923d7>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x140 [<ffffffff812929d9>] vfs_read+0x99/0x140 [<ffffffff81293f28>] SyS_read+0x58/0xc0 [<ffffffff818af97c>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xbd [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer $ cat /proc/self/stack [<ffffffff818b2428>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x27 [<ffffffff810394cc>] print_context_stack+0xfc/0x100 [<ffffffff818b2428>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x27 [<ffffffff8103891b>] dump_trace+0x12b/0x350 [<ffffffff818b2428>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x27 [<ffffffff810489a2>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x22/0x40 [<ffffffff818b2428>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x27 [<ffffffff81311a89>] proc_pid_stack+0xb9/0x110 [<ffffffff818b2428>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x27 [<ffffffff813127c4>] proc_single_show+0x54/0x80 [<ffffffff818b2428>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x27 [<ffffffff812be088>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0 [<ffffffff818b2428>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x27 [<ffffffff812923d7>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x140 [<ffffffff818b2428>] return_to_handler+0x0/0x27 [<ffffffff812929d9>] vfs_read+0x99/0x140 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Enabling function graph tracing causes the stack trace to change in two ways: First, the real call addresses are confusingly interspersed with 'return_to_handler' addresses. This issue will be fixed by the next patch. Second, the stack trace is offset by two frames, because the unwinder skipped the first two frames and got out of sync with the ret_stack index. This patch fixes this issue.
