tracing/branch-tracer: fix a trace recursion on branch tracer
Impact: fix crash when enabling the branch-tracer When the branch tracer inserts an event through probe_likely_condition(), it calls local_irq_save() and then results in a trace recursion. local_irq_save() -> trace_hardirqs_off() -> trace_hardirqs_off_caller() -> unlikely() The trace_branch.c file is protected by DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING but that doesn't prevent from external call to functions that use unlikely(). My box crashed each time I tried to set this tracer (sudden and hard reboot). Signed-off-by:Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
