    tracing: Have dynamic size event stack traces · 4a9bd3f1
    Steven Rostedt authored
    Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames.
    This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when
    the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for
    the event processing itself.
    
    Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can
    write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer.
    
    For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being
    process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough
    as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway.
