>From 92c571543120ffed5e725f5b57b9de0b535e9d0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 17:29:46 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Use the ring-buffer nesting to allow synthetic events to be traced Synthetic events can be done within the recording of other events. Notify the ring buffer via ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that this is intended and not to block it due to its recursion protection.
