Subject: [PATCH 04/12 -next] ftrace: Fix global function tracers that are not recursion safe
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:30:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130123203433.845671704@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20130123203002.957226869@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-ftrace-Fix-global-function-tracers-that-are-not-recu.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1434 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

If one of the function tracers set by the global ops is not recursion
safe, it can still be called directly without the added recursion
supplied by the ftrace infrastructure.
