Merge tag 'trace-v4.15-rc4-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

- Bring back context level recursive protection in ring buffer.

The simpler counter protection failed, due to a path when tracing
with trace_clock_global() as it could not be reentrant and depended
on the ring buffer recursive protection to keep that from happening.

- Prevent branch profiling when FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled.

It causes 50 - 60 MB in warning messages. Branch profiling should
never be run on production systems, so there's no reason that it
needs to be enabled with FORTIFY_SOURCE.

  * The lock and unlock are done within a preempt disable section.

- * different contexts that we need to consider.
+ * be modified more than once via an interrupt. To pass this
+ * information from the lock to the unlock without having to
+ * access the 'in_interrupt()' functions again (which do show

+ * we use a bitmask trick.
  *
- *  Normal context.
- *  SoftIRQ context
- *  IRQ context
- *  NMI context
+ *  bit 0 =  NMI context
+ *  bit 1 =  IRQ context
+ *  bit 2 =  SoftIRQ context
+ *  bit 3 =  normal context.
  *
- * If for some reason the ring buffer starts to recurse, we
- * only allow that to happen at most 4 times (one for each
- * context). If it happens 5 times, then we consider this a
- * recusive loop and do not let it go further.
+ * This works because this is the order of contexts that can
+ * preempt other contexts. A SoftIRQ never preempts an IRQ
+ * context.
+ *
+ * When the context is determined, the corresponding bit is
+ * checked and set (if it was set, then a recursion of that context
+ * happened).
+ *
+ * On unlock, we need to clear this bit. To do so, just subtract
+ * 1 from the current_context and AND it to itself.
+ *
+ * (binary)
+ *  101 - 1 = 100
+ *  101 & 100 = 100 (clearing bit zero)
+ *
+ *  1010 - 1 = 1001
+ *  1010 & 1001 = 1000 (clearing bit 1)
+ *
+ * The least significant bit can be cleared this way, and it
+ * just so happens that it is the same bit corresponding to
+ * the current context.
