ftrace: Clear REGS_EN and TRAMP_EN flags on disabling record via sysctl
When /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all function tracing is disabled. But the records that represent the functions still hold information about the ftrace_ops that are hooked to them. ftrace_ops may request "REGS" (have a full set of pt_regs passed to the callback), or "TRAMP" (the ops has its own trampoline to use). When the record is updated to represent the state of the ops hooked to it, it sets "REGS_EN" and/or "TRAMP_EN" to state that the callback points to the correct trampoline (REGS has its own trampoline). When ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all ftrace locations are a nop, so they do not point to any trampoline. But the _EN flags are still set. This can cause the accounting to go wrong when ftrace_enabled is cleared and an ops that has a trampoline is registered or unregistered. For example, the following will cause ftrace to crash: # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer As function_graph uses a trampoline, when ftrace_enabled is set to zero the updates to the record are not done. When enabling function_graph again, the record will still have the TRAMP_EN flag set, and it will look for an op that has a trampoline other than the function_graph ops, and fail to find one.
