ftrace: Initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu
commit c4602c1c818bd6626178d6d3fcc152d9f2f48ac0 upstream. Ftrace currently initializes only the online CPUs. This implementation has two problems: - If we online a CPU after we enable the function profile, and then run the test, we will lose the trace information on that CPU. Steps to reproduce: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # cd <debugfs>/tracing/ # echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # run test - If we offline a CPU before we enable the function profile, we will not clear the trace information when we enable the function profile. It will trouble the users. Steps to reproduce: # cd <debugfs>/tracing/ # echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # run test # cat trace_stat/function* # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # echo 0 > function_profile_enabled # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # cat trace_stat/function* # run test # cat trace_stat/function* So it is better that we initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu every time we enable the function profile instead of just the online ones.
