[PATCH] tracing: Add generic test_recursion_try_acquire()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Apr 14 2023 - 22:17:12 EST


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

The ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() also disables preemption. This is not
required, but was a clean up as every place that called it also disabled
preemption, and making the two tightly coupled appeared to make the code
simpler.

But the recursion protection can be used for other purposes that do not
require disabling preemption. As the recursion bits are attached to the
task_struct, it follows the task, so there's no need for preemption being
disabled.

Add test_recursion_try_acquire/release() functions to be used generically,
and separate it from being associated with ftrace. It also removes the
"lock" name, as there is no lock happening. Keeping the "lock" for the
ftrace version is better, as it at least differentiates that preemption is
being disabled (hence, "locking the CPU").
