Subject: [PATCH] function_graph: Add READ_ONCE() when accessing fgraph_array[]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <[email protected]>

In function_graph_enter() there's a loop that looks at fgraph_array[]
elements which are fgraph_ops. It first tests if it is a fgraph_stub op,
and if so skips it, as that's just there as a place holder. Then it checks
the fgraph_ops filters to see if the ops wants to trace the current
function.

But if the compiler reloads the fgraph_array[] after the check against
fgraph_stub, it could race with the fgraph_array[] being updated with the
fgraph_stub. That would cause the stub to be processed. But the stub has a
null "func_hash" field which will cause a NULL pointer dereference.

Add a READ_ONCE() so that the gops that is compared against the
fgraph_stub is also the gops that is processed later.
