Linus Torvalds fc9b289344 tracing recursion fix:
- While cleaning up some of the tracing recursion protection logic,
    I discovered a scenario that the current design would miss, and
    would allow an infinite recursion. Removing an optimization trick
    that opened the hole, fixes the issue and cleans up the code as well.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
