Linus Torvalds 70045bfc4c ftrace: Rewrite of function graph tracer
Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user
 attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph
 tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing function
 graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for since 2009, but
 it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so it never happened.
 Until now!
 
 There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is
 kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function graph
 tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes uses a
 shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a shadow stack
 for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it possible to trace
 the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs that feature too,
 allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed. BPF also wants to
 trace the return of many probes and its method doesn't scale either.
 Having it use function graph tracer would improve that.
 
 By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both
 kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This will
 allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version will no
 longer be needed. Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16
 simultaneous users, due to shadow stack size and allocated slots.
