[PATCH] Ftrace: irqsoff tracer may cause stack overflow

From: Li Yi
Date: Thu Jan 07 2010 - 23:44:05 EST


"irqsoff" tracer may cause stack overflow on architectures using
asm-generic/atomic.h, due to recursive invoking of, e.g.
trace_hardirqs_off().

trace_hardirqs_off() -> start_critical_timing() -> atomic_inc() ->
atomic_add_return() -> local_irq_save() -> trace_hardirqs_off()
