    Subject[PATCH] tracing: Protect the buffer from recursion in perf
    Date
    While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the
    lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf trace
    events.

    Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through perf
    but if this event is part of the set, the only result we can get is a
    long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock, and only that.

    This is because of a recursion inside perf.

    1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu buffer and
    submit it to perf.
    2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data using
    rcu_read_lock
    3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire event that
    will fill the per cpu event and then submit the buffer to perf.
    4) Perf detects a recursion and ignore it
    5) Perf continue its work on the previous event, but its buffer has been
    overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then been turned into
    a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock

    Such scenario also happens with lock_release with rcu_read_unlock().

    We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop the
    lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us lose
    the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other possible kind of
    recursion from perf in the future.

    This patch adds a recursion protection on the perf trace per cpu
    buffers to solve the problem.
