    kprobes/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback · c536aa1c
    Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
    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.
