[for-next][PATCH 17/18] function_graph: Reverse the order of pushing the ret_stack and the callback

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Nov 21 2018 - 19:34:27 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The function graph profiler uses the ret_stack to store the "subtime" and
reuse it by nested functions and also on the return. But the current logic
has the profiler callback called before the ret_stack is updated, and it is
just modifying the ret_stack that will later be allocated (it's just lucky
that the "subtime" is not touched when it is allocated).

This could also cause a crash if we are at the end of the ret_stack when
this happens.

By reversing the order of the allocating the ret_stack and then calling the
callbacks attached to a function being traced, the ret_stack entry is no
longer used before it is allocated.
