tracing/function-return-tracer: store return stack into task_struct and allocate it dynamically
Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely
Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.
So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.
Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork
I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.
