From b40341fad6cc2daa195f8090fd3348f18fff640a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:40:31 -0400 Subject: ftrace: Move RCU is watching check after recursion check The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when "rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an infinite recursion loop. rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the first thing done in callback functions.
