tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing
Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing
Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.
This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.
The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.
Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.
For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.
