[for-linus][PATCH 0/5] tracing: Fixes for v6.19

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

tracing fixes for v6.19:

- Remove useless assignment of soft_mode variable

  The function __ftrace_event_enable_disable() sets "soft_mode" in one of
  the branch paths but doesn't use it after that. Remove the setting of that
  variable.

- Add a cond_resched() in ring_buffer_resize()

  The resize function that allocates all the pages for the ring buffer was
  causing a soft lockup on PREEMPT_NONE configs when allocating large
  buffers on machines with many CPUs. Hopefully this is the last
  cond_resched() needed to be added as PREEMPT_LAZY becomes the norm in the
  future.

- Make ftrace_graph_ent depth field signed

  The "depth" field of struct ftrace_graph_ent was converted from "int" to
  "unsigned long" for alignment reasons to work with being embedded in other
  structures. The conversion from a signed to unsigned caused integrity
  checks to always pass as they were comparing "depth" to less than zero.
  Make the field signed long.

- Add recursion protection to stack trace events

  A infinite recursion was triggered by a stack trace event calling RCU
  which internally called rcu_read_unlock_special(), which triggered an
  event that was also doing stacktraces which cause it to trigger the same
  RCU lock that called rcu_read_unlock_special() again.

  Update the trace_test_and_set_recursion() to add a set of context checks
  for events to use, and have the stack trace event use that for recursion
  protection.

- Make the variable ftrace_dump_on_oops static

  The cleanup of sysctl that moved all the updates to the files that use
  them moved the reference of ftrace_dump_on_oops to where it is used.
  It is no longer used outside of the trace.c file. Make it static.
