Steven Rostedt (VMware) 9aab8b2b0f tracing: Use trace_sched_process_free() instead of exit() for pid tracing
commit afcab636657421f7ebfa0783a91f90256bba0091 upstream.

On exit, if a process is preempted after the trace_sched_process_exit()
tracepoint but before the process is done exiting, then when it gets
scheduled in, the function tracers will not filter it properly against the
function tracing pid filters.

That is because the function tracing pid filters hooks to the
sched_process_exit() tracepoint to remove the exiting task's pid from the
filter list. Because the filtering happens at the sched_switch tracepoint,
when the exiting task schedules back in to finish up the exit, it will no
longer be in the function pid filtering tables.

This was noticeable in the notrace self tests on a preemptable kernel, as
the tests would fail as it exits and preempted after being taken off the
notrace filter table and on scheduling back in it would not be in the
notrace list, and then the ending of the exit function would trace. The test
detected this and would fail.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
