This is an *emergency* parachute to avoid an endless recursion and consecutively a kernel stack overflow, should any function within some ftrace framework cause an access fault, which calls _mcount / ftrace_caller in return and so on. It might also call an ftrace'd function directly. As Michael Ellerman pointed out, it is a tedious and error-prone task to maintain a complete list of those functions that _might_ get called from *_access_fault or any dynamic tracer function. So we'll concentrate on the most frequent cases to enhance performance later, while for now sticking with this fill-in. It will later serve as a backup protection. * arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S: - test-and-set TRACE_FTRACE_BIT in task_struct's trace_recursion, do not call the actual tracer function if set, clear flag on return.
