A bug was discovered where the idle shadow stacks were not initialized
for offline CPUs when starting function graph tracer, and when they came
online they were not traced due to the missing shadow stack. To fix
this, the idle task shadow stack initialization was moved to using the
CPU hotplug callbacks. But it removed the initialization when the
function graph was enabled. The problem here is that the hotplug
callbacks are called when the CPUs come online, but the idle shadow
stack initialization only happens if function graph is currently
active. This caused the online CPUs to not get their shadow stack
initialized.
The idle shadow stack initialization still needs to be done when the
function graph is registered, as they will not be allocated if function
graph is not registered.

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.
