Function graph uses a subops and manager ops mechanism to attach to
ftrace. The manager ops connects to ftrace and the functions it connects
to is defined by a list of subops that it manages.
The function hash that defines what the above ops attaches to limits the
functions to attach if the hash has any content. If the hash is empty, it
means to trace all functions.
The creation of the manager ops hash is done by iterating over all the
subops hashes. If any of the subops hashes is empty, it means that the
manager ops hash must trace all functions as well.
The issue is in the creation of the manager ops. When a second subops is
attached, a new hash is created by starting it as NULL and adding the
subops one at a time. But the NULL ops is mistaken as an empty hash, and
once an empty hash is found, it stops the loop of subops and just enables
all functions.

[..]
Fix this by initializing the new hash to NULL and if the hash is NULL do
not treat it as an empty hash but instead allocate by copying the content
of the first sub ops. Then on subsequent iterations, the new hash will not
be NULL, but the content of the previous subops. If that first subops
attached to all functions, then new hash may assume that the manager ops
also needs to attach to all functions.

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.
