[PATCH 0/9] ftrace: Have callbacks handle their own recursion

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

I found that having the ftrace infrastructure use its own trampoline to
handle recursion and RCU by defaulte unless the ftrace_ops set the
appropriate flags, was an issue that nobody set those flags. But then their
callbacks would suffer from an unnecessary overhead instead of simply
handling the recursion itself.

This series makes it mandatory that ftrace callbacks handle recursion or set
a flag asking ftrace to do it for it. It also creates helper functions to
help these callbacks to have recursion protection.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) (9):
      ftrace: Move the recursion testing into global headers
      ftrace: Add ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() helper function
      ftrace: Optimize testing what context current is in
      pstore/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback
      kprobes/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback
      livepatch/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback
      perf/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback
      perf/ftrace: Check for rcu_is_watching() in callback function
      ftrace: Reverse what the RECURSION flag means in the ftrace_ops
