From a33d7d94eed92b23fbbc7b0de06a41b2bbaa49e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 13:15:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Make sure RCU is watching before calling a stack trace As stack tracing now requires "rcu watching", force RCU to be watching when recording a stack trace.
