commit552701dd0fupstream. In the past, curr_ret_stack had two functions. One was to denote the depth of the call graph, the other is to keep track of where on the ret_stack the data is used. Although they may be slightly related, there are two cases where they need to be used differently. The one case is that it keeps the ret_stack data from being corrupted by an interrupt coming in and overwriting the data still in use. The other is just to know where the depth of the stack currently is. The function profiler uses the ret_stack to save a "subtime" variable that is part of the data on the ret_stack. If curr_ret_stack is modified too early, then this variable can be corrupted. The "max_depth" option, when set to 1, will record the first functions going into the kernel. To see all top functions (when dealing with timings), the depth variable needs to be lowered before calling the return hook. But by lowering the curr_ret_stack, it makes the data on the ret_stack still being used by the return hook susceptible to being overwritten. Now that there's two variables to handle both cases (curr_ret_depth), we can move them to the locations where they can handle both cases.

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 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.
