Subject: ftrace: prevent ftrace_special from recursion
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5aa1ba6a6c710e747838a22d798ac97a8b248745;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

ftrace: prevent ftrace_special from recursion

Impact: stop ftrace_special from recursion

The ftrace_special is used to help debug areas of the kernel.
Because of this, if it is put in certain locations, the fact that
it allows recursion can become a problem if the kernel developer
using does not realize that.

This patch changes ftrace_special to not allow recursion into itself
to make it more robust.

It also changes from preempt disable interrupts disable to prevent
any loss of trace entries.
