Sven Schnelle ddf4aada93 s390/ftrace: fix endless recursion in function_graph tracer
[ Upstream commit 6feeee8efc ]

The following sequence triggers a kernel stack overflow on s390x:

mount -t tracefs tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing
cd /sys/kernel/tracing
echo function_graph > current_tracer
[crash]

This is because preempt_count_{add,sub} are in the list of traced
functions, which can be demonstrated by:

echo preempt_count_add >set_ftrace_filter
echo function_graph > current_tracer
[crash]

The stack overflow happens because get_tod_clock_monotonic() gets called
by ftrace but itself calls preempt_{disable,enable}(), which leads to a
endless recursion. Fix this by using preempt_{disable,enable}_notrace().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
