We experienced system hang when using ramoops/ftrace.

To avoid the deadlock causing the hang, rebase the patch in the following
link onto v5.10 as 4/9. 1/9, 2/9 and 3/9 are minimum basic change
backported from mainline.

Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/10/868

The code path of ftrace function tracer and the other users of it stays
unchanged.

This has been tested on arm64 and intel-x86-64 hardwares and qemu.

He Zhe (4):
  ftrace: Move the recursion testing into global headers
  ftrace: Add ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() helper function
  pstore/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback
  pstore/ftrace: Add and use ftrace_test_recursion_trylock_safe
