[for-linus][PATCH 2/3] ftrace: Fix recursion check for NMI test

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Sat Oct 31 2020 - 09:09:38 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The code that checks recursion will work to only do the recursion check once
if there's nested checks. The top one will do the check, the other nested
checks will see recursion was already checked and return zero for its "bit".
On the return side, nothing will be done if the "bit" is zero.

The problem is that zero is returned for the "good" bit when in NMI context.
This will set the bit for NMIs making it look like *all* NMI tracing is
recursing, and prevent tracing of anything in NMI context!

The simple fix is to return "bit + 1" and subtract that bit on the end to
get the real bit.
