[PATCH kcsan 3/3] kcsan: Disable branch tracing in core runtime
From: paulmck
Date: Wed Jun 24 2020 - 15:03:22 EST
From: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx>
Disable branch tracing in core KCSAN runtime if branches are being
traced (TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING). This it to avoid its performance
impact, but also avoid recursion in case KCSAN is enabled for the branch
tracing runtime.
The latter had already been a problem for KASAN:
