The function graph infrastructure uses ftrace to hook to functions. It has a single ftrace_ops to manage all the users of function graph. Each individual user (tracing, bpf, fprobes, etc) has its own ftrace_ops to track the functions it will have its callback called from. These ftrace_ops are "subops" to the main ftrace_ops of the function graph infrastructure. Each ftrace_ops has a filter_hash and a notrace_hash that is defined as: Only trace functions that are in the filter_hash but not in the notrace_hash. If the filter_hash is empty, it means to trace all functions. If the notrace_hash is empty, it means do not disable any function. The function graph main ftrace_ops needs to be a superset containing all the functions to be traced by all the subops it has. The algorithm to perform this merge was incorrect. When the first subops was added to the main ops, it simply made the main ops a copy of the subops (same filter_hash and notrace_hash). When a second ops was added, it joined the new subops filter_hash with the main ops filter_hash as a union of the two sets. The intersect between the new subops notrace_hash and the main ops notrace_hash was created as the new notrace_hash of the main ops. The issue here is that it would then start tracing functions than no subops were tracing. For example if you had two subops that had: subops 1: filter_hash = '*sched*' # trace all functions with "sched" in it notrace_hash = '*time*' # except do not trace functions with "time" subops 2: filter_hash = '*lock*' # trace all functions with "lock" in it notrace_hash = '*clock*' # except do not trace functions with "clock" The intersect of '*time*' functions with '*clock*' functions could be the empty set. That means the main ops will be tracing all functions with '*time*' and all "*clock*" in it! Instead, modify the algorithm to be a bit simpler and correct. First, when adding a new subops, even if it's the first one, do not add the notrace_hash if the filter_hash is not empty. Instead, just add the functions that are in the filter_hash of the subops but not in the notrace_hash of the subops into the main ops filter_hash. There's no reason to add anything to the main ops notrace_hash. The notrace_hash of the main ops should only be non empty iff all subops filter_hashes are empty (meaning to trace all functions) and all subops notrace_hashes include the same functions. That is, the main ops notrace_hash is empty if any subops filter_hash is non empty. The main ops notrace_hash only has content in it if all subops filter_hashes are empty, and the content are only functions that intersect all the subops notrace_hashes. If any subops notrace_hash is empty, then so is the main ops notrace_hash.

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 reStructuredText 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.
