I reverted my patch and added recursion detection, but I hit this nasty
bug:

Either there's a bug in the vbin_printf, or we have some crazy lock->name?
TRACE_FORMAT(lock_acquire,
TP_PROTO(struct lockdep_map *lock, unsigned int subclass,
int trylock, int read, int check,
struct lockdep_map *next_lock, unsigned long ip),
TP_ARGS(lock, subclass, trylock, read, check, next_lock, ip),
TP_FMT("%s%s%s", trylock ? "try " : "",
read ? "read " : "", lock->name)
);
I'll continue to look into this, and perhaps reboot and see what other
nasties I hit.
