The trampoline allocated by function tracer was overwriten by function_graph
tracer, and caused a memory leak. The save_global_trampoline should have
saved the previous trampoline in register_ftrace_graph() and restored it in
unregister_ftrace_graph(). But as it is implemented, save_global_trampoline was
only used in unregister_ftrace_graph as default value 0, and it overwrote the
previous trampoline's value. Causing the previous allocated trampoline to be
lost.

Looking further into this, I found that this was left over from when the
function and function graph tracers shared the same ftrace_ops. But in
commit 5f151b2401 ("ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer
together"), the two were separated, and the save_global_trampoline no
longer was necessary (and it may have been broken back then too).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
