      tracing: Allow trace_printk() to nest in other tracing code · 82d1b815
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      trace_printk() is used to debug the kernel which includes the tracing
infrastructure. But because it writes to the ring buffer, and so does much
of the tracing infrastructure, the ring buffer's recursive detection will
drop writes to the ring buffer that is in the same context as the current
write is happening (it allows interrupts to write when normal context is
writing, but wont let normal context write while normal context is writing).

This can cause confusion and think that the code is where the trace_printk()
exists is not hit. To solve this, up the recursive nesting of the ring
buffer when trace_printk() is called before it writes to the buffer itself.

Note, this does make it dangerous to use trace_printk() in the ring buffer
code itself, because this basically disables the recursion protection of
trace_printk() buffer writes. But as trace_printk() is only used for
debugging, and if this does occur, the developer will see the cause real
quick (recursive blowing up of the stack). Thus the developer can deal with
that. But having trace_printk() silently ignored is a much bigger problem,
and disabling recursive protection is a small price to pay to fix it.

      Merge tag 'clone3-tls-v5.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux · 606e9ad2

      Pull thread fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a series of patches to fix CLONE_SETTLS when used with
  clone3().

  The clone3() syscall passes the tls argument through struct clone_args
  instead of a register. This means, all architectures that do not
  implement copy_thread_tls() but still support CLONE_SETTLS via
  copy_thread() expecting the tls to be located in a register argument
  based on clone() are currently unfortunately broken. Their tls value
  will be garbage.

  The patch series fixes this on all architectures that currently define
  __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. It also adds a compile-time check to ensure
  that any architecture that enables clone3() in the future is forced to
  also implement copy_thread_tls().

  My ultimate goal is to get rid of the copy_thread()/copy_thread_tls()
  split and just have copy_thread_tls() at some point in the not too
  distant future (Maybe even renaming copy_thread_tls() back to simply
  copy_thread() once the old function is ripped from all arches). This
  is dependent now on all arches supporting clone3().

  While all relevant arches do that now there are still four missing:
  ia64, m68k, sh and sparc. They have the system call reserved, but not
  implemented. Once they all implement clone3() we can get rid of
  ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.

  This series also includes a minor fix for the arm64 uapi headers which
  caused __NR_clone3 to be missing from the exported user headers.

  Unfortunately the series came in a little late especially given that
  it touches a range of architectures. Due to the holidays not all arch
  maintainers responded in time probably due to their backlog. Will and
  Arnd have thankfully acked the arm specific changes.

  Given that the changes are straightforward and rather minimal combined
  with the fact the that clone3() with CLONE_SETTLS is broken I decided
  to send them post rc3 nonetheless"
