Currently, when using both function tracer and function graph simultaneously,

 it is found that function tracer sometimes captures a fake parent ip(return_to_handler)

 instead of the true parent ip.

 

 This issue is easy to reproduce. Below are my reproduction steps:

 

 jeff-labs:~/bin # ./trace-net.sh

 

 jeff-labs:~/bin # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/foo/trace | grep return_to_handler

 trace-net.sh-405 [001] ...2. 31.859501: avc_has_perm+0x4/0x190 <-return_to_handler+0x0/0x40

The following is my simple trace script:

 INSTANCE_FOO=${TRACE_PATH}/instances/foo

 if [ ! -e $INSTANCE_FOO ]; then

 mkdir ${INSTANCE_FOO}

Can this work without CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER? Maybe it cause a build error

because return_to_handler is not defined.

Could you check it?

I believed I had checked it before, but I actually found a build error. I will fix it. ;-)

Thank you,
