Subject: [PATCH 1/4] context_tracking: Protect against recursion
Context tracking recursion can happen when an exception triggers in the
middle of a call to a context tracking probe.
This special case can be caused by vmalloc faults. If an access to a
memory area allocated by vmalloc happens in the middle of
context_tracking_enter(), we may run into an endless fault loop because
the exception in turn calls context_tracking_enter() which faults on
the same vmalloc'ed memory, triggering an exception again, etc...
Some rare crashes have been reported so lets protect against this with
a recursion counter.
