Summary

In the Linux kernel trace/fgraph subsystem, a missing unregister of the PM notifier occurs when start_graph_tracing fails, causing a warning on the next write to function_profile_enabled. The fix adds unregister_pm_notifier in the exception path.

Risk Assessment

Can lead to kernel warnings and, with panic_on_warn enabled, a kernel panic, affecting system stability and availability.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix.
