From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 11:56:12 +0000 (+0100) Subject: tracing: Fix recursive user stack trace X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~20972^2~125^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91e86e560d0b3ce4c5fc64fd2bbb99f856a30a4e;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git tracing: Fix recursive user stack trace The user stack trace can fault when examining the trace. Which would call the do_page_fault handler, which would trace again, which would do the user stack trace, which would fault and call do_page_fault again ... Thus this is causing a recursive bug. We need to have a recursion detector here.
