ftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_opsgrafted
There's some internal state that ftrace_ops needs to have set, but since
it can be declared outside of the ftrace.c code, it calls
ftrace_ops_init() on the ops in every global function. The issue is that
if two tasks call it on the same ops at the same time it is possible to
have the initialization of one corrupt the initialization of the other
call.
Create a ops_mutex to use to synchronize every initialization of the
ftrace_ops. The mutex is taken within checking the ftrace_ops flag that
states it was initializied but the flag is checked again after the mutex
has been taken. Checking first outside the mutex allows it to shortcut
having to take the mutex. But then the check needs to be done again after
the mute is taken in case of races.

The aim is to fill the gap between the somewhat similar hwmon and +:doc:`input <../input>` subsystems. Hwmon is directed at low sample rate +sensors used to monitor and control the system itself, like fan speed control +or temperature measurement. :doc:`Input <../input>` is, as its name suggests, +focused on human interaction input devices (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen). +In some cases there is considerable overlap between these and IIO. + +Devices that fall into this category include: + +* analog to digital converters (ADCs) +* accelerometers +* capacitance to digital converters (CDCs) +* digital to analog converters (DACs) +* gyroscopes +* inertial measurement units (IMUs) +* color and light sensors +* magnetometers +* pressure sensors +* proximity sensors +* temperature sensors + +Usually these sensors are connected via :doc:`SPI <../spi>` or +:doc:`I2C <../i2c>`. A common use case of the sensors devices is to have +combined functionality (e.g. light plus proximity sensor). |
