Since the child still carries\nthe parent's ret_stack pointer, the unwind frees the parent's active\nfunction graph return stack. The parent subsequently accesses freed memory\nfrom function_graph_enter_regs().\n\nKASAN reports:\n\n[   22.190920] ==================================================================\n[   22.195899] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in function_graph_enter_regs+0xa76/0xb90\n[   22.200747] Write of size 8 at addr ff110000054dc0a8 by task repro/1\n[   22.205134]\n[   22.210770] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: repro Not tainted 7.2.0-07732-g9328b3b03bdc-dirty #3 PREEMPT(lazy)\n[   22.212576] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014\n[   22.213750] Call Trace:\n[   22.215271]  <TASK>\n[   22.216242]  ?
