Subject: ftrace: Move RCU is watching check after recursion check
Git-commit: b40341fad6cc2daa195f8090fd3348f18fff640a
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc8
References: git-fixes
The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do
is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when
"rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing
to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before
function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an
infinite recursion loop.
rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should
never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the
first thing done in callback functions.
