From 57cdfdf829a850a317425ed93c6a576c9ee6329c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 00:52:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix hcall tracepoint recursion Spinlocks on shared processor partitions use H_YIELD to notify the hypervisor we are waiting on another virtual CPU. Unfortunately this means the hcall tracepoints can recurse. The patch below adds a percpu depth and checks it on both the entry and exit hcall tracepoints.
