[PATCH 04/11 v3] pstore/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback

From: VMware
Date: Thu Nov 05 2020 - 21:36:24 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If a ftrace callback does not supply its own recursion protection and
does not set the RECURSION_SAFE flag in its ftrace_ops, then ftrace will
make a helper trampoline to do so before calling the callback instead of
just calling the callback directly.

The default for ftrace_ops is going to change. It will expect that handlers
provide their own recursion protection, unless its ftrace_ops states
otherwise.
