fgraph: Initialize tracing_graph_pause at task creation
On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend() will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph tracer will not modify the return address. The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle task if it is suspended in these architectures. CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_idle() cpu_suspend() pause_graph_tracing() task_struct->tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -> 1) start_graph_tracing() for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu) task-struct->tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -> 0) unpause_graph_tracing() task_struct->tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -> -1) The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled. There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can not be initialized at boot up.
