The WARN_ON in the ring buffer when a commit is preempted and the buffer is filled by preceding writes can happen in normal operations. The WARN_ON makes it look like a bug, not to mention, because it does not stop tracing and calls printk which can also recurse, this is prone to deadlock (the WARN_ON is not in a position to recurse). This patch removes the WARN_ON and replaces it with a counter that can be retrieved by a tracer. This counter is called commit_overrun. While at it, I added a nmi_dropped counter to count any time an NMI entry is dropped because the NMI could not take the spinlock.
