    tracing/function-graph-tracer: trace the idle tasks · 5b058bcd
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    
    
    When the function graph tracer is activated, it iterates over the task_list
    to allocate a stack to store the return addresses.
    
    But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using
    do_each_thread / while_each_thread.
    
    So we have to iterate on them manually.
    
    This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces.
    Examples on two cpus:
    
     0)   Xorg-4287    |   2.906 us    |              }
     0)   Xorg-4287    |   3.965 us    |            }
     0)   Xorg-4287    |   5.302 us    |          }
